Scents can be powerful tools for relaxation and stress reduction. Aromatherapy with calming scents like lavender, chamomile, or eucalyptus can help activate the brain's emotional centers, encouraging a sense of tranquility and lessening stress and anxiety. Essential oils or scented products, such as candles or diffusers, can create a soothing environment. The calming influence of these scents can be particularly effective during relaxation practices like meditation or a warm bath.
