Bangalore: The influence of house hold aroma can add extra benefits to our health. The natural scents can fight different types of health problems like stress, depression, inflammation, migraine pain, and many more.

"Smell becomes ingrained in your memory and it is associated with emotion," explains Dr. Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, according to an article by Julie Beun, Canadian Living.

On this context, Luke Vorstermans, CEO of Kelowna, B.C.'s Sense of Smell Lab, where scents are custom-blended, cited that "It's a highly underrated sense that influences our lives more than we think, because it operates on an unconscious level."

Below are some of the household aromas that can enhance your health.

Floral scents

The aroma of flowers creates positive feeling. The floral aroma acts like a catalyst to regain balance between the body and mind. According to Vorstermans, "floral smells are embedded within the human psyche as something natural, so we automatically respond to them”.  The floral aroma act as a powerful tool to fight inflation, stress and depression and it aids to the refreshment of our body and mind. The aroma also triggers the brain’s limbic system that deals with emotions, motivation and memory.
