Our body’s five senses have been shown to have a direct influence on how we feel. For example, your nose is a very sensitive part of your body. Without it, you obviously could not smell, but interestingly you also could not taste. Think of your favourite foods. Now, imagine not being able to taste them. What an awful thought, eating but with no taste! How do you imagine that would affect your attitude during the day?

Studies have shown that the part of the nervous system that helps you to control your emotions is directly connected to your nose. A deficit in the sense of smell can cause symptoms ranging from anxiety to depression, and this is only one of your senses. With this knowledge of how the mind is dependant on feedback from your senses, the concept of aromatherapy came onto the scene in an explosive way.
