How to Use Aromatherapy to Reduce Daily Stress | Tembo Natural

Stress is a constant in modern life. But what if there were a simple, natural, and sensorial way to soften its impact? Aromatherapy is an ancient practice that uses the scents of essential oils to influence our emotions, energy, and physical well-being. Today, we'll tell you how to integrate it into your daily routine to regain calm and reconnect with yourself.

What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils extracted from plants, flowers, leaves, seeds, peels, or fruits. When inhaled or applied, these natural essences interact with the limbic system—the part of the brain that manages emotions—activating sensations of peace, joy, clarity, creativity, and relaxation.

Aromas that help reduce stress

Some essential oils have proven effects on calming the nervous system. Here are our favorites from Tembo:

  • Lavender: Deep, floral, and balancing. Helps calm the mind and improve sleep.

  • Ylang Ylang: sweet and exotic, it balances emotions and is the essential oil of femininity and sensuality par excellence and a very powerful anxiolytic.

  • Incense: ideal for meditation, provides clarity and spiritual depth.

  • Sweet orange: citrusy and bright, it stimulates joy and lightness, relaxing us with happiness.

  • Geranium: floral and harmonious, regulates emotions and reduces anxiety.

3 ways to use aromatherapy at home

  1. With scented candles
    Light a candle with essential oils and let the aroma fill the space. Breathe deeply and take at least 5 minutes to unwind. You can do this at the end of the day or before bed.

  2. With mists or natural sprays
    Spray a mist with essential oils in your room, on your pillows, or even on your body. It's ideal for creating a wellness ritual before an important meeting or a restful night.

  3. During a self-care ritual
    Accompany your journaling, meditation, or a warm bath with a scent that resonates with you emotionally. Intentionally set the moment and let the aroma anchor you in calm.
