A tonic not to be sniffed at!
Aromatherapy really is good for your health!
According to a study by Japanese scientists, sniffing Lavender or Rosemary oil for just five minutes a day can reduce levels of a harmful hormone called cortisol.
It is known to cause oxidative stress, a destructive process that damages healthy cells. In the latest study, researchers at Meikal University, Japan recruited 22 healthy volunteers and took saliva samples to test for a range of substances including cortisol.
Each one had to spend five minutes inhalaing lavender or rosemary oil before the tests were repeated. The results in the Journal of Psychiatry Research showed a sharp drop in cortisol levels after sniffing the oil.

STRESS CAN LEAD TO IRREGULAR OR MISSED PERIODS.
The stresses of everyday life can cause women to become infertile.
A build up of tension can prevent a woman from having her period and therefore from conceiving a baby, US scientists have found.
But relaxation therapies can help women become pregnant in up to 80% of cases!
The US research team found that it's not only traumatic life events, but the gradual drip drip accumulation of small stresses and pressures allowed to build up without giving vent to them that can cause a lack of monthly periods and ovulation which was previously linked to under nutrition and excessive exercise.
"In fact the collection of small stresses can be worse for fertility than one big stress" says Professor Sarah Berga from Emory University in Atlanta.
In her studies, she found that relaxation therapy was a good way to reduce stress.
A staggering 80% of the women studied, suffering infertility for more than six months and receiving Cognitive Behaviour Therapy consisting of coaching on nutrition, exercise and ways to reduce stress over a 20 week period , started ovulating again!
Learning to manage stress better using a vast range of available therapies can help restore ovulation in up to four out of five cases of stress related infertility! These include relaxing baths, aromatherapy, massage, music therapy, colour therapy, better breathing, meditation and yoga, natural supplements, room ionisers, mood lighting, reflexology and self help CD's.
