- Scents are used to stimulate olifactory senses, and relax the body. Believe
- it or not, scents have strong physiological responses. There is actually a
- science of Aromatherapy. Scents are added to everything from shampoo to
- massage oil to help relax the body yet envigorate the psyche. I don't know
- how much I believe in it, but I can tell you that I recently started using a
- conditioner in my hair that uses aromatherapy, and I can't wait to opent he
- bottle in the shower because the scent is truly relaxing, and it seems to work
- to reduce tension and headaches. Just my 2 cents worth.
