Rosemary Aromatherapy Lifts Mood, Performance

You are what you eat, so the old buzz phrase goes. But new research looking at people's moods and smarts may have us one day saying you feel as well as what you smell.

Researchers in Great Britain have concluded that sniffing rosemary aromatherapy oil makes a person feel more content and gives a slight boost to performance.

The researchers exposed 20 study participants in their 20's to the scent of rosemary aromatherapy oil anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.

Those who smelled the rosemary oil for less time were less likely to report feeling "content".

"Thriving Through Touch" Massage in the Media

"The woman - in her 80's- hadn't spoken in months.  The nursing home staff figured she had lost the ability.  But after six silent months of regular massage sessions, massage therapist Dawn Nelson heard a soft voice utter: "That feels good." 
Nelson, author of "From the Heart Through the Hands" and creator of the program "Compassionate Touch For Those in Later Life Stages," says massage has improved quality of life for many older, not so mobile clients.  In addition to boosting circulation, easing stress and relieving aches and pains...massage bestows a basic human need the elderly often go without: touch."
