4 Scents that Calms Anger & Irritation - According to aromatherapists 

Feel that boiling anger inside you but with no outlet to vent or soothe it? Chamomile, Jasmine, Neroli, and ylang-ylang are scents that are listed in the World Health Net to display abilities that help in this problematic area of our lives.
 More information about them are provided below, feel free to read them to find out more if they are the scent that you would like to go for!
​
Chamomile

A flower which is one of my favourites due to its varied and effective benefits. You may have come across chamomile ingredient in teas, as one of the popular beverages known for its calming effects.
Even as a fragrance, it has been tested and tried and showed positive results in its soothing effects. So, feel free to either gulp a cup of chamomile tea or smell its fragrance to soothe and ease your trembling irritation.

​​
Chamomile fragrance oil can be obtained through steam distillation of its flowers. Its fragrance gives off a sweet, fresh and herbal scent.


Jasmine

Jasmine flowers are so widely known that I would see it as a globalized celebrity of the flowers. It is noted to be used in many cultures, weddings and even in some religious settings.
In the olden days, jasmine fragrance oil has to be extracted manually by hands. 2000 pounds of jasmine fragrance are gathered but only yielded 1 pound of oil. It is no wonder, we had to rely heavily on synthetic jasmine fragrance due to the cost and labour-intensive work.
​

Despite that, jasmine is so highly popular even till now due to its appealing fragrance which are made readily accessible through commercial products like candles, perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products.

These Jasmine fragrance profile can be described to exude a rich, powerful and white flower scent that can be fresher with more green nuances if it is synthesized in the laboratory. Their powerful but soothing properties are also attributed to their characteristic fragrance traits.

Neroli
​​This Neroli scent is often confused with the orange blossom scent as their fragrance is fairly similar to each other. This fragrance similarity is attributed to both Neroli and orange blossom fragrance being extracted from the blossoms of the same blossom tree.

Neroli fragrance smells greener as compared to orange blossom which smells sweeter than Neroli. Their slight difference in scent is contributed by their fragrance extraction method. Neroli is extracted via steam distillation while Orange blossom fragrance is extracted using solvent extraction technique.
Neroli’s rich citrusy-floral overtones is a fragrance that soothes moods and is said to lower blood pressure, and our stress level by reducing the production of cortisol hormones which help take effect on managing our emotional surges.
 
Ylang Ylang
​

​Ylang ylang fragrance is a feminine and heavy floral scent with an interesting mix of sweet florals, wood and fruity-banana nuances. The famous perfume creation Chanel No. 5 and Joy also has ylang ylang as one of its major components.
Using freshly picked yalng ylang blooms, steam distillation method can be applied to obtain its fragrance oil.
Its beautiful fragrance is said alleviate negative moods, lowers blood pressure and soothes heart rate, which helps our minds to soothe anger and annoyance as well.

​Ending Off,
Everyone has periods where we feel angry bitter and even helpless because of these seemingly uncontrollable feelings. It is a necessity to find a suitable outlet for you to release this anger and ease your irritations as it would not be mentally good for your well-being in the long term.
If you would like to integrate fragrances into lifestyle to soothe these bouts of raging emotions, why not give it a try at a Perfume Workshop – personalizing your own perfume that caters to your requirements.

Aroma Therapy of The Three Doshas - Ancient way of living a balanced life

Ayurvedic aromatherapy is an ancient science that gives us a complete paradigm of life. It covers the medicinal aspect, and also touches our consciousness, mind, thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
 
Ayurveda believes that every living being on Earth is made up of five basic elements – fire, earth, water, ether and air. It further believes that these elements will combine in various forms and leave us with at least one of the three doshas. Doshas are functional intelligence within the human body that are responsible for all the physiological and psychological processes. Three doshas are Kapha, Pitta and Vata.

Does aromatherapy help to balance the doshas? Aromatherapy is a very important part of the Vedic holistic treatment system. Ayurveda believes that aromatherapy can restore the balance of the doshas and help us feel strong, healthy and happy with life.​

Ayurvedic doctors use essential oils for treatment of a wide range of illnesses. Some oils help with wound healing as they have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects (such as cedar, pine, fir and chamomile oil). Others increase efficiency, concentration and improve memory (such as fir, ginger, tea tree, lemon, basil, verbena, rose).

Aromas can be experienced as spray, essential oil rubs, incense, soaps, sachets or even massages. Irrespective of the delivery method, they have similar benefits. Irrespective of the delivery method, each oil used in Ayurveda has special properties that help us relax, concentrate, restore strength, balance our emotional state and fight off various health issues.
 
Vata (or Vayu): Vata is predominated by the space (ether) and air elements and governs movement, transportation, drying and separating functions of the body. This dosha is characterized by coldness, lightness, agility and dryness. People with this type of constitution often suffer from insomnia, constipation, headaches, dry skin, have nutrition problems and anxiety.
To restore Vata dosha’s balance, sweet, soothing and warm essential oils are used. Some of these are- cinnamon, camphor, eucalyptus, bergamot, sandalwood, rose and jasmine.
Other oils that are also suitable for balancing Vata dosha are vanilla, lavender, lemongrass, lemon, ginger and ylang ylang.

Pitta: Pitta represents fire and some air and water elements, and it governs all metabolic processes.
People with Pitta dosha have a hot and intense character and often suffer from ulcers and inflammation of the skin.
To balance the Pitta apply oils that stimulate sweating and have a cooling effect. Such oils are jasmine, gardenia, rose, mint and chamomile and yarrow

​Kapha.: Kapha or Kapa is made up of the earth and water elements and governs structure, liquidity, growth and cohesiveness. People with this type of constitution are prone to cold and respiratory diseases and therefore the right oils for them are warming, stimulating oils such as basil, cedar, myrrh, sage, anise, laurel, birch, ginger.
One main issue faced by people with Kapha dosha is lymph stagnation, accumulation of mucus and other body fluids that delay metabolic processes. To solve these problems Ayurveda uses essential oils that activate metabolism and strength the body like parsley, dill, cinnamon, coriander, lemon grass.
Once the metabolism is activated, essential oils such as cardamom, coriander, chamomile, juniper, sage, eucalyptus and others that combat pathogens must be used.

Positivity, like negativity, can be influenced and held as a powerful weapon of choice to lead the team to greater heights.
However, how to use it may be tricky as we are dealing with the complex psychological part of humans.
These are the 3 methods that can help to boost up the team’s positivity which can simultaneously bring about positive benefits to your team; such as having better working relationships, culture, workplace satisfaction, performance and productivity! So, let’s dive in, and find out more!
​

1. Having a Positive Team Leader

​A leader is a prominent and influential figure of the team who guides and gives direction to the team. Likewise, since a leader is holding such a pivotal position, he/she can also very likely sway the positivity of the team.
Positive leaders believe in the growing potential of their team members, no matter how dire the circumstance the team may be in. They shine through the dark clouds of disappointments and discouragement the team encounters, and have the capability to motivate, persuade and drive the team out of the spiral of uncertainties and distress by utilizing positivity deftly.
Emotions strongly motivates a team. Whether the team’s growth potential is snuff out due to the negative and discouraging words of their leaders, or grow through the positive and nurturing words of a leader can make a big difference to the team’s success.
Therefore, it is important for the team leader to take note of their working and communication style – whether they are spreading positivity or negativity.
 
2. Replacing Positivity Roadblocks with Motivators

Frederick Herzberg, a psychologist, have ascertained that just by identifying and removing the negativity causes is not sufficient to boost team’s satisfaction.
For example, is a team member is not satisfied with the current team’s culture, by just removing the people that causes this culture will not increase the satisfaction. Only by developing a change to the culture, that it will produce positive exponential effect.
Allow open-minded discussion on improvements to such area of concerns that saps away the team positivity. It may be the dissatisfaction to the policies of the company, the lack of learning exposure, the team dynamics or their salary paid.
Therefore, we have to not only identify the team’s causes in its positivity roadblocks but replace these roadblocks with “motivators” that drives and motivates the team positively.
 
3. Implement and Reinforce Positivit

​Now that we have identified the possible roadblocks to the team’s positivity and the feasible ways to make improvements, these improvements will need to be implemented and reinforced.
These are the few possible methods of improvement that can be implemented:
Figure out the Team’s Vision: This is to help team gain clarity of their team’s goals and purpose, to become unified which enhances commitment and efficiency in the team.
Issue Clear Roles & Responsibilities: Every individual should know what their work entitles and what they are required of to contribute to their team. If these boundaries are unclear, a lot of miscommunication and misunderstandings may unnecessarily encounter. Hence, by implementing this, it could help increase the team’s performance.
Develop Effective Communication: Many times, social relationships get strained due to miscommunications. Therefore, non-judgmental working culture should be nurtured, encouraging differing and diverse viewpoints. It is also important to keep everyone up-to-date of what’s happening and how they will be affected. All these adds up to aid the relationship among team members and potentially reaps significant benefits to the team in the long term.
 
Lastly,
Every team have different causes that limits the positivity of the team. But once you have recognized, implement positive changes and reinforce them, these changes will lead your team to gain not only the joy of working, but also the joy of working together as a team!
