As we continue to make our way through spring, we can’t help but to think of all the ways to give our home a seasonal refresh. What better way to do that than with aromatic essential oils? Not only do these scents have enticing smells, but they also elevate our mood and even help prevent illness.
According to a study from The National Library of Medicine, aromatic oils can help relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety for people of younger and older ages. The oils can be used in their natural state with a diffuser, or you can get them in a variety of products including rooms sprays and candles.
