It is amazing how our sense of smell can also contribute to feelings of wellbeing. Like the scent of a rose, or a new jar of coffee, or the air after the rain. Smells can also evoke memories like cinnamon in winter. Essential oils are more than just smell, think about that well known brand of eucalyptus rub! Please remember though, if you plan to use them do consult with someone as to what is most suitable for you. This booklet is not suggesting essential oils as a replacement for any medical treatment.
