Wellness professionals have long been using the soothing scents of flowers and lavender to relax their clients, but now research is proving how the natural scents reduce stress. According to the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, in a study with rats, inhaling certain fragrances can alter gene activity and blood chemistry in ways that can reduce stress levels. The researchers hypothesize that the same could be true for humans.

For as far back as I can remember, I have repeatedly told to "stop to smell the roses."
I am glad that someone finally is now giving me permission to smell other kinds of flowers as well because I don't always have access to roses.
And yes, I have noticed that stopping to smell a flower does put a smile on my face.
Hi
You are absolutely right.
Scientists now have proof that inhaling certain fragrances alters gene activity and blood chemistry in ways that can reduce stress levels. Research has been carried out and it has been found out that people have inhaled the scent of certain plants since ancient times to help lessen strain, fight swelling, and depression, and induce sleep.

Aromatherapy has been recognized as a stress reducer for many years, and modern vaporizers provide a great way to 'smell the flowers (or roses)' So you can enjoy a pot pourri in the comfort of your own room, whenever you wish.
