Aromas and mood

Laboratory researchers exploring human olfaction have found that:

A faint trace of lemon significantly increases people's perception of their own health.

Lavender incense contributes to a pleasant mood--but it lowers volunteers' mathematical abilities.

A whiff of lavender and eucalyptus increases people's respiratory rate and alertness.
The scent of phenethyl alcohol (a constituent of rose oil) reduces blood pressure.

From another oil diffuser website:

A drop or two of Eucalyptus essential oil can help clear your sinuses when you are slightly congested or clear your mind when you need to focus.

A drop or two of Lavender essential oil (French or Bulgarian) can help calm your nerves when you're feeling anxious or you feel a headache coming on.

A drop or two of Neroli, Tangerine, or Jasmine Absolute essential oil will lift your spirits when you're feeling blue

A drop or two of Frankincense can help you open up when you're having dificulty communicating with someone

A drop or two of Bitter Orange can help suppress your appetite when you're trying to control eating habit
