Aromatherapy and Plants: How Scent and Greenery Work Together to Boost Your Well-being
What is Aromatherapy and How Does it Work?
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils and plant extracts to promote physical and emotional well-being. When inhaled or applied to the skin, the natural compounds found in these plant extracts can positively impact your mood and help alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Plants, on the other hand, have a similar effect on our overall well-being by providing fresh oxygen, filtering air pollutants, and promoting a sense of calm.
Best Plants for Aromatherapy
While any type of plant can contribute to your well-being, some plants have particular properties that make them well-suited for aromatherapy. Here are a few of our favorite plant options:
Lavender
Known for its soothing scent, lavender is a popular choice for aromatherapy. It can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression while promoting better sleep. Our IONIC modern flower pot is a great option for growing lavender indoors, with its sleek and modern design complementing any decor style.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is a powerful plant that is known for its antibacterial properties and is often used to treat respiratory conditions. Its invigorating scent can help clear your mind and promote a sense of alertness. Our DISC decor pot is the perfect choice for growing eucalyptus indoors, with its unique and modern design adding a touch of sophistication to any space.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a popular herb that is often used in cooking, but it also has properties that make it an excellent choice for aromatherapy. It has a refreshing scent that can help improve concentration and memory. Our SUNRISE Designer Pot is a great option for growing rosemary indoors, with its striking design and beautiful color options adding a unique touch to your home decor.
