Naturopath tip: This blend is also a useful mindfulness aid. Practicing mindfulness involves focusing your awareness on the present moment, while calmly accepting feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations in a non-judgemental way. Focusing our attention on the physical senses helps bring our mind back to the present moment. Our sense of smell helps keep our minds running away from us and aromatherapy is a great tool for this. Research shows that mindfulness practice helps the body regulate itself for healthy stress response. This has short-term and long-term benefits for the body.
