Aromatherapy Solutions to Help You Wake Up

Smell is the least understood of our five senses, but perhaps the most powerful. The olfactory membrane inside the nose is the only place in the human body where the central nervous system is exposed and in direct contact with the environment. Studies have shown that the receptors in this membrane send signals to the limbic portion of the brain where memory, hunger, and emotion are evoked. Before even knowing we have come in contact with an aroma, our subconscious mind has already reacted to it.

In practical terms, this means that smell has a unique ability to influence our feelings and moods. Using aromatherapy during your morning routine may help you feel more awake, energized and ready to start your day.

The essential oils in our Erbabiva Synergies Blends are made from the purest organic and wild fruits, leaves, spices, roots, and woods. These essence molecules protect the plants from parasites and disease, play an important role in fertilization and assist the plant's adaptation to its environment. Erbaviva’s Awaken product line contains Melissa, Lemongrass and Rose extracts that will invigorate your body and stimulate your mind for the day ahead. Whether you are using oil distilled through a diffuser, or a body wash or lotion, never underestimate the power of aromatherapy.

ZiaSleep Tip: If properly cared for, essential oils can have a shelf life up to seven years. Direct sunlight and exposure to air are most damaging to essential oils. Try to keep your oils out of the sun, in a cool, dry place and make sure the caps are tightly secured.
