3. Fragrances inspired by nature

When we spend time outdoors, it's not just the sights and sounds that benefit us, but also the smells. Trees and plants release natural chemicals called “phytoncides” that protect the plant from infection but also strengthen our immune system! Phytoncides have been shown to increase the activity of “NK” cells (“natural killer”), which play an important role in preventing viruses and certain types of cancer. These chemicals are most active in the center of forests, especially those containing pine trees, thanks to the compound “pinine.” Pinin helps treat upper and lower respiratory tract infections, coughs and colds, and blocked sinuses, while the compound “limonin” (found naturally in chamomile, fennel, hops, and rosemary) helps lower blood sugar and has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Phytoncides are found in essential oils – which is what gives them their healing and harmonizing effects – so if you want to get the benefits of these natural chemicals from your home, essential oils are the way to go. To maintain the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of limonin, try adding itTisserandsrosemary andBergamot Essentialoilsfor thearomaspa diffuser,or use the Yogamatters (link removed) which is made from all-natural, fresh ingredients and is a must for energetically clearing your space before or after class or self-training.
