At Home Daily

Your sense of smell has powerful effects on your body. Certain aromas can trigger pleasant memories and even relieve stress to help you feel more relaxed. In general, herbal fragrances like lavender and rosemary, and a fresh floral fragrance like ylang ylang, are shown to reduce cortisol levels, promote calm, and reduce stress, says Lauren Lamagna, director of product at Homesick candles. So if you've been feeling stressed lately, try infusing your home with natural scents.
