The cleaning professionals at Honolulu’s Maid Brigade are experts at using green home cleaning techniques to make your house look and feel its best. They say aromatherapy is all the rage, and with just a few drops of an essential oil, you can reap some major benefits. Getting a seasonal deep cleaning from a professional cleaning company is a great way to help reduce winter stress, and aromatherapy is the perfect way to complete the effect.

Below, the team at Maid Brigade shares their favorite winter scents and some of the wellness benefits they afford:

• Vanilla: Nothing says cozy like the scent of vanilla wafting past your nose. A bit of vanilla makes you feel like you’re eating dessert all day long, and it’s a great way to make it feel like the holidays year-round. A bit of vanilla aromatherapy can calm the mind, soothe the soul, and warm the heart.
• Cinnamon: Another great dessert scent, cinnamon essential oils are a great way to remind you of the holidays. Studies show that the odor of cinnamon can help with memory and attention span, so in addition to the warm familiarity it brings, it can have real therapeutic effects as well.
• Peppermint: Peppermint essential oils help to curb the appetite, meaning keeping this pleasant scent around a clean home could help with any health-related New Year’s resolutions. It’s also reported to be energizing, so use it to perk up in the morning or during your post-holiday meal fatigue.
• Rosemary: In addition to being pleasant, this scent is also said to be a memory booster. Combine it with cinnamon for an aromatherapy powerhouse!
