AROMATHERAPY

            Benefits of Aromatherapy           

Stress Relief:

Perhaps the most widespread and popular use of aromatherapy is for stress relief. The aromatic compounds from many different essential oils are known as relaxants and can help to soothe your mind and eliminate anxiety.  Aromatherapy is very well-known and widely studied.

Certain studies have shown that lemon oil can improve mood and reduce outbursts of anger.
Studies have also shown that the smell of orange essential oil prior to going into a dental appointment helps to soothe stressed nerves and calm any anxiety associated with the appointment.

In one study, researchers found that not only did the smell of orange essential oil reduce anxiety, but it also elevated the mood in patients.
Even if you’re not the type who gets stressed from the thought of an approaching dental appointment, being in a calmer, better mood during a dental appointment can only help.

The bottom line is, many people avoid the dentist because of a poor or negative association that has developed with these professionals/the chair/the office, etc., and this is a big barrier that can prevent people from having a healthier mouth.
