Wednesday PSA
For the nerdy inclined , here’s an interesting study: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00226-023-01490-6 (Title: Utilization of essential oils mainly from Cupressaceae trees in the work environment creates a psychophysiological stress-relieving effect. )
Recap:
Study results suggest that certain conifer tree oils may help calm the crazy.
Inhaling our “fir” friends may be beneficial in helping the body’s relaxation response. (We live way too often in the fight, flight, or freeze state of mind.)
Pro Tip: If the rest of your office (or home) tends to lean toward the cray cray meter, consider diffusing the situation.
