Maple sugaring season has already come and gone! We visited the beautiful sugar shack at nearby Northfield Mount Herman this week and got to walk through the billowing clouds of sweet steam. Talk about aromatherapy! Being surrounded by the warm delicious maple-flavored mist brought back of all years of early spring sap bubbling. One of my favorite things about scent is how evocative it is, powerfully bringing back memories. We can use that to our advantage in aromatherapy, using the same scent as a trigger to relax, wake us up or settle into sleep.
