Like a lot of people, I am always searching for the best natural cleaning recipes and there are thousands when you start searching online. When choosing a cleaning product or making your own you might come across terms like "acidic" and "alkaline." These refer to the pH level of the product, which affects its cleaning ability and the types of stains or residues it can tackle most effectively. In this weeks newsletter we will explore what each term means and how they impact cleaning! Welcome to this week’s exploration into cedarwood essential oils. With their deep, woody aromas and diverse applications, these essential oils have been valued across cultures and ages.
Let’s focus on the differences between true cedarwoods (Cedrus) and other cedarwood varieties from the Juniperus genus. By understanding these distinctions you can better appreciate their unique properties and select the right oil for your needs. Our sense of smell is a remarkable and often under appreciated aspect of our sensory experience. The olfactory system is directly connected to the brain's limbic system, which plays a crucial role in our emotions and memory. This connection means that smells can evoke powerful memories and emotional responses.
When we inhale a scent, odour molecules bind to receptors in the nose, which then send signals to the olfactory bulb in the brain. From there, the signals travel to areas involved in emotion, memory, and behaviour. This is why a familiar scent can instantly transport us back to a specific time and place or alter our mood.
On a different note another fascinating process that involves several key mechanisms in the olfactory system is the phenomenon of no longer smelling a scent after a few minutes which is known as olfactory adaptation or olfactory fatigue.
Olfactory adaptation is the process by which your sense of smell becomes less sensitive to a continuous or constant odour over time. Let's explore how it works!DIY Natural Cleaning-Acidic vs Alkaline
