*THE STUDIES:
The Scientific Basis for Aromatherapy Interventions Candles “In 1988, Shizuo Torii, a professor at Toho University, began to research the sense of smell. Through measuring the brain waves of subjects after they smelled a particular fragrance, Torii found that some scents produced a brain-wave pattern that indicated calm, while others produced a pattern that indicated stimulation. It was discovered, for example, that lemon and peppermint have a stimulating effect; nutmeg and lavender reduce stress; a mix of rosemary and lemon will improve concentration; and chamomile and lavender encourage relaxation. Workers are roused and refreshed by a citrus scent early in the morning and after lunch. At midmorning and midafternoon, a floral scent is released to calm the workers and encourage concentration. During lunch and at the end of the day, a woodland scent relaxes the employees and helps them wind down after a full day at work…”
