Aromatic fall crunching leaves, charred wood smoke and the last crushed sprigs from the herb garden infuse our senses as the earth begins the demise of the year and the smell of fall is intense. Scent has been a therapeutic remedy for centuries and medieval monks were fascinated by the power of scent in their private gardens. Today, the study of aromas has been bolstered by some interesting discoveries on the medicinal power of scent. A professor at the University of Arizona has revealed that the scent of spiced apples reduced blood pressure of his test subjects. At New York University Medical Center, postoperative patients reported better pain control when the smell of lavender suffused the recovery room. An Oncology Journal noted that cancer patients exhibited less distress and depression when offered massages with a variety of aromatic oils. Although these revelations are interesting, I am thinking about how scent can become another design accessory to use in our style palette to add comfort to our homes. Fall seems the perfect time to accent our living spaces with calming aromas. Let’s look at a few tricks to “spice or sweeten up” our favorite places.<\/p>\n
