Self Care Practice
The healing power of flower fragrance, also known as aromatherapy, a self care practice .that has been utilized for centuries across various cultures. The aromatic molecules released by flowers can have a profound impact on our emotions, mood, and even physical well-being.
Different floral scents are associated with particular benefits. For example, lavender is often used for its calming and stress-relieving properties, while rose is linked to promoting feelings of love and happiness. The scent of jasmine is thought to have uplifting effects and can boost confidence.
Inhaling these fragrances can stimulate the limbic system in the brain, which is responsible for emotions, behaviors, and memory. This can lead to a range of therapeutic effects, such as reducing anxiety, improving relaxation, and even aiding in pain management.
Moreover, the act of stopping to smell the flowers and appreciate their beauty can in itself be a form of mindfulness and self-care, which can contribute to overall well-being.
Overall, the healing power of flower fragrances goes beyond just their pleasant smell; it can have a holistic impact on both our mental and physical health. I personally use flower on some groups healing services or upon request: flower ceremonies are sacred and powerful healing ritual from our ancestors..
With Heartfelt gratitude,
