"The greatest gift of the Garden is the restoration of the five senses"
Yes, I'm in therapy, aromatherapy.
I enjoy the smells of outside. Plants fragrant oils are mind altering, soothing and healing.
These aromas, fragrances or odors, influence the brain/mind, body and soul
therapeutically in many ways, from relaxation to stimulation.
Rubbing the rosemary or lavender plants to release their fragrant oils on your dirty garden hands
begins the healing process to keep those garden hands in good working order.
Mint and lemon verbena leaves picked, add their beneficial scent into the tea.
Pieces of herbs added to hand milled soaps brings the smells of outside into the shower.
Even smelling the dirt tells you if it is healthy and providing the correct stuff needed to grow healthy plants.
Oriental Lilies blooming fill the air with their sweet loud heavy fragrance.
Aromatherapy: another blessing from the Garden.
