Why is Scent Therapy So Powerful?

Why is Scent Therapy So Powerful?

As refreshing as our unscented towels can be, nothing beats the boost you get from one of our scented towels.

But why?  What's so powerful about scent therapy?

-  It can relieve depression

Scientists believe that the right scents activate the "happy" parts of your brain, so that you don't fall victim to the blues.  Plus, your brain associates some scents with happy memories -- like, for example, smelling lemons may evoke memories of eating lemon meringue pie at your Grandma's house over the summer when you were little.  The more happy memories you brain can tap into, the less likely you are to be depressed!

-  It's relaxing

Some midwives actually turn to certain scents to relieve women's fears and anxieties as they give birth.  Some scents can even relieve the nausea that accompanies labor.  Amazingly, many women have reported needing fewer pain medications during childbirth, simply because of the scents they breathed in!

If pregnant women can see all of these benefits, imagine the relaxing you could do with one of our scented towels after a long day at the office!

-  It can make you healthier

On our products pages, we've talked about how lemon essential oil can fight off the symptoms of a cold, and that lavender essential oil has antibacterial properties.  These are just some of the health benefits you'll get from taking in the right scents!

-  It works quickly

When you rub our scented towels on your skin, you'll feel better almost immediately.  Oh sure, the moisture itself will cool you down and refresh you.  However, research shows that the essential oils in our scented towels will be fully absorbed by your cells in about 20 minutes.  That way, you can get a boost from the inside out!
