Smells That Are Good For Your Health
Some smells make you feel good from within and some repulse you. But a part of our sense of smell is personal. For example, some people like the smell of petrol and others hate it. However, some smells are good for across the board. There might be very few people who might not like these healthy smells.
We can call a smell healthy or say that a smell is good for us only if it has a psycho-somatic reaction on our body. For example, the smell of alcohol actually reduces your heartbeat. The smell of jasmine makes you feel sleepy and smell of coffee makes you feel energetic. You may not like coffee, but the healthy smell of coffee will definitely make you feel re-energised.
The smell of some foods also helps to increase your appetite. For example the smell of frying onions makes you hungry. The smell of chocolate makes your mouth water in anticipation. Some smells are good to make you feel relaxed and somnolent. For example, the smell of rose makes your dreams pleasant.
So, here are some good smells that we classify as healthy for us.
Coffee
You must have realised that coffee always smells better than it tastes. Even the smell of coffee is a stimulant to give you more energy and get rid of tiredness.
Lavender
Lavender realises stress and calms your nerves. If you are feeling jittery after a stressful day, just light up some lavender oil and you will be all calm.
Citrus
Citrus smells like that of lemon and orange makes you more alert. They also give you a sense of well-being and combat nausea.
Eucalyptus
Are you having blocked nose and ringing ears due to cold? There is a very simple solution; just add two drops of eucalyptus oil to your napkin. Keep smelling it at regular intervals and you will definitely find some relief.
Alcohol
Alcohol may be bad for people with high blood pressure, but the smell of alcohol can regulate your blood pressure. A whiff of wine slows down your heart beat.
Jasmine
Have trouble in sleeping? Chuck the sleeping pills and just smell a fragrant jasmine plant. You will feel calm and sleep like a baby.
Mint
The smell of mint symbolises freshness and tends to clear your mind. It helps in increasing concentration. So, having peppermint while studying for your exams is a good idea.
Rose
Have you been having nightmares lately? Smell some night blooming roses before you go to bed and you will have sweet dreams.
Chocolate
The smell of chocolate helps relieve pain and anxiety. So, if your muscles are cramping due to stress then smell some chocolate.
Sandalwood
The smell of sandalwood is associated with religion in India. It clears your mind and increases concentration.
Saffron
This is a good news for all those girls who get cranky before their periods. Smelling saffron can relieve pre-menstrual stress.
