In this episode of Aromatherapy Moments, Danielle Sade, certified aromatherapist, explores how our body’s natural scent changes as we age due to shifts in body chemistry and health factors. Instead of masking these changes with synthetic perfumes, Danielle highlights how essential oils like lavender, geranium, and petitgrain offer a gentler approach to managing body odor while supporting emotional well-being and preserving the skin’s natural microbiome.
Danielle also shares easy, natural bath and shower formulations for a refreshing, aromatic experience. Tune in to discover how essential oils can help you embrace the aging journey with grace and a balanced aroma.
