My husband used to think I was crazy...
We'd come in the house after being away for awhile
and I'd say, “What smells?” And he'd say... “Nothin'.”
Or, after putting on a shirt he thought was clean,
I'd say, “That smells dirty”…and he'd give me a look
like, “Whaaaat?”
Or... he'd try to give me a kiss, and I'd duck because
of the garlic bread
he had for dinner – two nights
before.
I started to worry the poor guy might think I was
out to get him or something...
But I was just responding to what I really smelled.
And there's evidence to prove it!
Did you know women have a greater sense of smell
than men?
Women outperform men on odor-sensing
tests.
On average, they have at least 43% more olfactory
neurons than men.
And, during ovulation, a woman's sense of smell for
some aromas increases 10,000 times!
Women are also more inclined to feel ill from common
chemicals... like paint or perfume.
From this, it's not hard to realize that smells matter more
for women than for
men...
And this male-female difference is worth keeping in
mind...
It can really help create better understanding among
relationships of the opposite sex...
In particular... when men understand this difference,
they won't be so inclined to think the women in their
lives are making it up when they say something smells.
The stronger sense of smell
that women have also
explains something else... they want the aromas around
them be pleasing ones!
In other words... because everything a woman smells
has greater intensity than it does for a man, it just makes
sense that they would want whatever they are smelling
to smell good.
And this is where I've found essential oils can be truly
life
changing!
I use my oils all of the time to freshen up the smell of
my home... and even family members.
When using a room diffuser, the change in aroma that
essential oils can bring to an area can happen very
quickly.
Besides that, essential oils don't just make your living
space smell better – they can make it smell
fabulous...
And there are so many different aromas to choose from,
too.
I also love the fact that when I use the right kind of
essential oils, it's a completely natural experience...
and one that's good for me.
So... if you have an acute sense of smell like I do – or just
want the air around you to be filled with good, fresh smelling
aromas – then
there's definitely a place for essential oils in
your life.
For you best health,
