Benefits
Aromatherapy has been shown to be highly effective in regulating and organizing the nervous system. Not only that, but smell affects our appetites too, as it has a profound effect on taste. Smell is great for reminiscence. Smells can really evoke memories – the scent of baking bread will bring back memories of Grandma’s kitchen for example, which can take the user back in time to fond memories of times gone by.
Studies show that aromas can also improve our mood. Lavender and sage, for example, can calm; whereas, lemon or peppermint can arouse the sleepy. Using diffusers in your sensory room can add the perfect smell. Without it, you may have a room with lights and sound, but with aroma pumped in, you can offer a completely immersive experience.
