‘Relax’ Smell Training Kit

Description

Our ‘Relax’ smell training kit evokes comfort and relaxation, with scents including lavender, clary sage, orange, and ylang ylang. These contrasting scents are great for smell training as they are familiar and evocative, but they’re also great for relaxation.

• Lavender: A soothing floral scent that often brings to mind peaceful fields and calming herbal tea, known for its relaxing properties. As one of the several essential oils with anxiolytic, or anti-anxiety, properties, lavender can create an overall calming effect.
• Clary Sage: An earthy, herbal scent with a slightly floral quality, reminiscent of sun-dried grasses and rustic countryside landscapes. This is often used to address stress because it can affect cortisol, the stress hormone. According to a 2014 study, clary sage was effective at decreasing cortisol levels and produced an antidepressant-like effect for menopausal women when inhaled.
• Orange: A bright, cheerful scent that evokes the aroma of fresh oranges, bringing to mind sunny days and refreshing beverages. Another essential oil with anxiolytic properties, orange essential oil is a citrus-based oil that can create a relaxing state. A 2012 study found that participants who inhaled sweet orange essential oil didn’t have an increase in anxiety or tension during an anxiety-inducing situation, unlike those who inhaled a control aroma (tea tree oil) or a placebo.
• Ylang Ylang: A sweet, exotic fragrance with hints of floral and fruity notes, reminiscent of tropical gardens and warm summer evenings. Derived from the ylang ylang flower, preliminary research from 2006 suggested that ylang ylang can help decrease blood pressure and create a relaxing effect. The sweet floral aroma is great for when you need to rest and relax, but you aren’t seeking a sedative effect.
