The hack to emotional regulation. 

If you’re looking for a quick and simple way to get the effects of emotional regulation without a 150-page self-help book and 4 flash cards you keep in your pocket, look no further than aromatherapy! 

Through the action of removing yourself from a situation, spraying some aromatherapy, and smelling, you unlock most of the benefits of emotional regulation. 

Smelling requires you to take deep breaths, which helps slow your heart rate. Scents like lavender and eucalyptus have scientifically proven calming psychological benefits. The strong scent keeps you in the moment and grounded. The benefits are truly endless. Taking that moment for yourself, connecting with your body and your emotions, it provides a space to explore your emotions in a healthy and productive manner.
