Aromatherapy for your shower
At Lavande de Bois we make a variety of handcrafted
soaps and bath essentials all created to transform your bathing routine
into an experience of renewal and refreshment.
Fragrance matters! The sense
of smell, one of our earliest developed senses, is amazing!
Aroma passes through the nose, past the cerebral cortex right to
the limbic system, the innermost control center of the brain.
Aroma stimuli in the limbic system release powerful
neurotransmitters that provide inspiration, feelings of well being,
relaxation, and so on. That’s why
each product is replete with essential oil combinations intended to
uplift, inspire, or relax; you pick what you need.
See brief essential oil descriptions below to help you determine
essential oils that will nurture a unique you.
