The charm of aroma that colors the long autumn nights
Autumn is when cool winds begin to blow and the nights gradually get longer. It’s easy to get tired from the summer heat and air conditioning, and it’s also a time when it’s easy to lose your mental and physical balance as the seasons change. Aromatherapy using essential oils is a great way to relax during those long autumn nights.
Fragrance ingredients act directly from the nose to the part of the brain that controls autonomic nerves and emotions (the limbic system). Therefore, just smelling a pleasant scent can instantly relieve tension and lead you into a deep state of relaxation. Would you like to add an aromatic scent to accompany you while reading, watching movies, or doing nothing?
Essential oil blend recommended for autumn nights
To relax and enjoy the long autumn nights, we recommend scents that calm the mind and make you feel warm.
Lavender × Sweet Orange Lavender, a classic aroma, supports quality sleep with its excellent sedative effect. By blending the friendly and warm sweet orange, it relieves anxiety and tension and makes you feel bright and calm. This is the most recommended combination for beginners.
Geranium x Frankincense The gorgeous scent of geranium, which is said to help balance hormones, is complemented by the deep and mysterious frankincense, which has been used for meditation since ancient times. It’s perfect for nights when you’re feeling anxious or when you want to refresh yourself by taking deep breaths.
Sandalwood x Bergamot The deep, sweet woody sandalwood, like incense, will lead your mind to peace. By combining the refreshing and elegant citrus scent of bergamot, it creates a sophisticated relaxing space that is not too heavy.
Easy way to enjoy aroma
You can easily enjoy aroma even without a dedicated aroma diffuser. An ``fragrant bath’’ involves simply filling a mug with hot water and adding 1 to 2 drops of essential oil, and the aroma gently spreads as the steam rises.
It is also effective to put a drop of essential oil on a tissue or cotton and place it next to your pillow while you sleep. When you take a bath, add a few drops to your bathtub (if you have sensitive skin, mix it with bath salts or carrier oil) for an aromatic bath, and the synergistic effect of the scent and the hot bath effect will help you feel the fatigue of the day melting away to your core. Find your favorite scent and enjoy the long autumn nights to your heart’s content.
