Not everyone believes in aromatherapy, but everyone could stand to relax a little. Essential oils have been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. These days, it’s easy to be skeptical about their benefits when their biggest proponents seem to be hipsters and soulless, money-hungry wellness brands; but they have proven benefits. From anxiety relief and sleep aid to killing certain types of harmful bacteria better than antibiotics (as one study at John Hopkins found), essential oils can bring relief where no other treatment can.

“Aromatherapy has been used for centuries,” says Harpreet Gujral, program director of integrative medicine at Sibley Memorial Hospital. “When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.”

Since essential oils are plant extracts, inhaling their vapors can’t hurt you, while applying oils directly to the skin can cause irritation or a severe reaction if you happen to be allergic to their plant of origin. So use common sense if you have plant allergies or sensitive skin. Gujral adds, “Essential oils don’t work for everyone, but there’s no harm in trying them as long as you use them in a safe way, Even if they just boost your mood, it can make a positive impact on your health and well-being.”

If you’re still skeptical, why not give aromatherapy a try while also accessorizing with one of these diffuser necklaces:
