Aromatherapy probably isn't one of the first things you think of to help boost your productivity, energy and focus- but maybe it should be! Smell is the strongest of our senses and is best able to influence brain activity. Our sense of smell directly connects to the areas of the brain that process emotion and learning.This is probably one of the best reasons why so often something that we smell can trigger a memory, reminding us of something or someone.
Aromas can be used to turn your brain back on, perk you up, and sharpen your thought process. You can purchase quality essential oils, there are numerous resources available on how to use the appropriate dosages. Using candles and wax melts are an easy and simple way to help spread your favorite invigorating scents. They are slightly less concentrated but they can still help to get the job done. Just buy the scents you want and use them whenever you’re studying or just need a mental boost.
Here are some aromas worth trying for productivity and mood:
