This is the second-last part in the series "Using Your Senses To Transform Your Life.”

Our sense of smell is 10,000 times more powerful than the other senses - merely a sniff of a smell can raise powerful emotions from your past. Fragrances have the power to cure one’s body, mind and soul. Maybe this is the explanation for the use of incense in churches and spiritual rituals.

​Just like finger prints, everyone has their own unique smell

​
​Your Sense of Smell

• Fragrances were made use of to heal the sick in historical Egypt. Frankincense detoxifies, myrrh is made use of to heal and draw in love, and Dragon's Blood is thought to attract love and inspire bravery and strength.
• Healing and mood-changing smells are found in cleansing soaps, shower gels, fragrance lamps and candles. 
• It is claimed that Cleopatra used fragrance to attract her lovers. 
• Building and construction firms in Japan use fragrance to de-stress their staff members. 
• During the Black Plague in Europe, it was discovered that perfumers were untouched by the dreadful disease.
• People are able to detect at the very least 1 trillion unique scents as discovered by scientists from Rockefeller University (posted in the journal Science)
• Your scent tissues are completely renewed each 30 to 60 days.
• One can smell fear and dislike. You can smell emotions of fear and dislike by means of sweat, and then afterwards you may experience the exact same feelings, according to a 2012 research study posted in the journal Psychological Science.
• Canines have almost 44 times more scent cells than people.
• Just like finger prints, everyone has their own unique smell.

If you struggle with heart disease, asthma, epilepsy or other chronic illnesses, consult your physician before using aroma therapies. Pregnant women and young children also need to be cautious with breathing in certain fragrances and should not try to self treat - even with aromas.

Some of uppermost enjoyable or pleasurable fragrances include vanilla, cinnamon, crayons, and cookies.

Search in your public library, best-loved book shop, or on-line to discover more of these kinds of treatments. I found some very handy essential oil inhalers available at ETSY, pictured below.
 
Aroma therapy can assist you put an end to stress at the end of a very long day, get you moving when you initially get up, stimulate perceptions of wellbeing, and a lot more - all with a simple scent!

Sometimes when we wake up in the morning, whether it is weekend or a workday, most of us can’t seem to get started unless we’ve had our energy-shot for the day, and that comes from our coffee, right? That’s what we’ve been counting on for years, not believing for a moment that there are quite a few other things that can really kick- start our day.

​The thing is with coffee, yes, it sure does make us feel great as the caffeine gets to work, but once it starts wearing off not too long afterward, then we are still left feeling sluggish and foggy again – that’s when we reach for another cup, maybe even with a bit more sugar added this time to keep up with the day’s hectic schedule.

​
Wake up and smell real energy-boosting foods that work better than coffee
 
If you truly do want to last all day and stay alert and ‘with it’, there are some other better ways than coffee to supercharge your day – there literally are high energy boosting healthy foods to stop you yawning before night time comes along.

Beneficial bananas
Bananas have plenty of vitamin C in them, plenty of fiber, as well as antioxidants and they’ve got a lot of natural sugar in too, fructose, sucrose, and glucose – these are converted into energy in your blood and the high fiber helps the sugar to be absorbed slower, to give you the energy to last right through the day.

Super salmon
How does a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel sound for breakfast? Well, it’s got the all-important omega-3 fatty acids which are perfect for brain health and energy production; let alone looking after your heart. Fish serves you protein to stave off those hunger pangs, giving you energy and crushing any of those post-carb yearnings that we all know about.

Lusty lemon water
There are plenty of us who don’t drink enough water, but some warm water with natural lemon juice is hydrating to the body and skin and has plenty of vitamin C added as well. Studies show that those who don’t have drink plenty of water in the day feel the tiredness and fatigue setting in more than those who do.

Great green tea
If you want to switch off the coffee and add a bit more zest to your life and diet, then green tea is for you. It has also got caffeine in, but far less than your cup of Joe. Green tea helps you concentrate too, filled with antioxidants and nutrients that can give you quick boost during your day.

Extraordinary eggs
Eggs are abundant in protein and iron and that means you get real sustainable energy for a busy day. Eggs have a nutrient called choline in them too, excellent for the brain, the muscles, and metabolism. 
 
Sensational smoothie
A smoothie with nuts is the ideal breakfast drink to start your day because it is full of minerals, vitamins, and fats. Furthermore, they are downright delicious! Filled with fiber too, to keep your blood sugar levels balanced and protein to keep you full for longer. Just the nuts stashed away in your desk at work can give you an energy boost if you haven’t got time for the smoothie.

Gorgeous Greek yogurt with some berries
To get the most out of your snack, just choose some low-fat Greek yogurt; staying away from the flavored one because they come with plenty of sugar added. For that extra sweetness, just add in some delicious fresh berries with a bit of honey to control the sweet tooth in you. And if you want to go the extra mile, you can toss over your yogurt some delectable crunch toppings such as granola, which contain the necessary fiber.
