YOGYAKARTA When stressed or not excited, it is important to take a moment to enjoy the atmosphere or breathe certain fragrances. If you can't enjoy the pine aroma in the middle of the forest, you can find a smell that is useful for relieve stress and increase the spirit described below.

Scientists studied the chemical content of plants in Shirin-yoku parks in Japan and Korea as well as the cactus forest in Sororan Desert, Arizona. Although the aroma of forests and deserts is different, hundreds of similar chemicals are found in them. The aroma is a biogenic volatile organic compound that comes from biogenic plants that are volatile or volatile. Most of these aromas are from carbon molecules that stick organically to each other. In Korea and Japan, fragrance oils, most of which come from certain types of cypress trees, especially Hinoki spruce, are widely found.

One of the scientists at the University of Arizona, Gary Nabhan, studied the smell of rain which is a combination of hundreds of chemical oils released during, before, and after the rain. This mixture is similar to the taste of quality wine or the smell of long-lasting perfume.

Hundreds of chemical oils secrete when exposed to rainwater droplets. From a mixture of hundreds of plant oils, there are some that appear to be beneficial to health. Specifically, fragrances that help relieve stress and increase enthusiasm include limousine, camphene, myrcene, and pinene.

Limune As the name implies, this oil evokes a familiar lemon aroma, barus, nuts, and pine. The aroma is emitted by plants including green trees, lavender trees, orange trees, and kareosot shrubs. Lavender is shown to have health benefits. Including increasing mood, reducing anxiety, lowering blood pressure, reducing pain, and improving sleep quality.

This wewangian reduces stress response in several ways. When inhaled, the chemicals from oil have a soothing direct effect because the nasal nerve ending is the shortest direct path to the brain. When you take a deep breath, you activate the vagus nerve and trigger relaxation response. Some perfume, such as lavender, can even put the mouse to sleep soundly.

The smell also triggers memories.

If the aroma of the cypress tree reminds you of a happy Christmas morning in your childhood, the memory will soon trigger a brain area that feels comfortable and an anti-nyeri pathway that in turn reduces your stress response. In addition to citrus and lavender aromas, lecherous aromas also benefit the immune system. This aroma is well known for ancient Roman people to heal wounds and protect against infection.

The hospitality industry has also long used fragrances to present the atmosphere of pine forests or sea beaches. But what needs to be noticed, be aware of synthetic chemicals scattered into the air because they may not provide the same benefits as natural chemicals. It can even trigger allergies or even worse risks.

According to Esther Sternberg, MD., a scientist who studies the disease caused by the interaction of the body and healing, reported by Psychology Today, Friday, January 19, you can mix your own fragrances from herbal plants. Starting to plant them at home, how many more benefits. Among them are oregano, basil, rosemary, and typhme. When you water it, like the Sternberg experience, the aroma will commute. This smell will create calm for you and people at home.
