Olfactotherapy or the food of well-being

L’olfactothérapie ou la nourriture du bien-être

Manage your stress and emotions, simply by breathing in aromatic molecules.

Essential oils affect us with their olfactory benevolence. They interfere with our emotions and are capable of positively influencing our negative attitudes.

The many olfactory virtues of essential oils offer us a range of positive effects on our well-being, particularly on our ability to better manage negative emotions such as anxiety attacks or stress. Think of the scent of sweet orange essential oil to instantly trigger an emotion or memory. Thanks to the power of essential oils and their scents that speak directly to our subconscious, the feeling of calm is immediate.

Find the one that connects with you, touches you, and makes you feel good. Simply breathe it into the bottle and remain receptive to the emotions it evokes. Then, to create your ideal fragrance, cut a sheet of blotting paper into strips and apply a drop of each essential oil chosen to the tip of the strip. In a fan-like fashion, breathe in the total and adjust the chosen concentrations, depending on how you feel.

Write down the number of drops of each oil you will be blending together. In a small recycled essential oil container, add your blend (with a feeling of love and gratitude for what they will bring you) and let it sit for a few days.

When your perfume is ready, a few drops on a handkerchief (if the chosen essential oils are dermocaustic), on the wrists, the back of the neck, the solar plexus to benefit from the scent.

NB:

1- This book is intended to be a compilation of personal and professional experiences acquired over 40 years that I share with Maison Jacynthe. No scientific research proves this research and it is shared with you for entertainment purposes only.

2 - Make sure you have no contradictions when using essential oils and always do a test beforehand. Make sure that the essential oils you use are not dermocaustic, photosensitizing, or reactive.

A unique, personal, emotionally transformative olfactory experience…
