Improve the effect of aromatherapy: Five strategies for managers in everyday working life
Improving the effect of aromatherapy can be achieved through simple strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into the daily work routine of managers. The targeted use of essential oils helps to reduce stress, increase concentration and create a positive atmosphere. This not only promotes personal well-being, but also teamwork.
Select and dose high-quality essential oils specifically
An important prerequisite for improving the effect of aromatherapy is choosing the right oils. Natural and high-quality products without synthetic additives have the best effect. Fragrances such as lavender, camomile and bergamot have proved particularly effective. These oils can be used gently in small doses to create a calm and balanced atmosphere.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) A diffuser with carefully selected, high-quality essential oils was used in the break rooms. The regular rotation of the fragrances created a pleasant room climate, which was experienced as supportive by employees. This allowed the aromatherapy effect to be improved and harmoniously integrated into everyday office life.
Use regular breaks with aromatherapy support
Managers are often under a lot of stress. Taking short breaks with the conscious use of essential oils can help to reduce this stress. Fragrances such as lavender or camomile contribute to relaxation, while citrus scents such as orange or bergamot stimulate and lift the mood. These fragrances can be used specifically in meetings or during breaks to strengthen inner balance.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) In a start-up, lavender oil was nebulised in the meeting room during intensive work phases. The improved aromatherapy effect was noticeable, as the team became calmer and meetings were more focussed. This led to a more relaxed atmosphere in discussions and improved decision-making processes.
Integrate aromatherapy while travelling and working from home
Improving the aromatherapy effect is not only possible in the office, but also when travelling or working from home. Mobile diffusers, fragrance rollers or scented sprays are practical companions. This allows the desired atmosphere to be created flexibly to support concentration and well-being outside the company.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) Executives used scent rollers with bergamot and lavender during important conference calls. This simple aromatherapy application helped to maintain focus and inner calm, which promoted clear communication and thus had a positive impact on everyday working life.
Integration into team meetings and workspaces
In order to improve the effect of aromatherapy, it can also be integrated into team settings. The targeted use of essential oils creates an open, harmonious atmosphere. This promotes cooperation and dialogue. Depending on the objective, it can be used in a relaxing or stimulating way to support creativity and communication.
Using a diffuser in meeting rooms, relaxing fragrances can create a pleasant working environment. The deliberate use of such scent accents can also help to lift the mood and strengthen team spirit.
Combination with conscious mindfulness and breathing
Aromatherapy effects can also be improved through conscious breathing exercises and mindfulness. Consciously inhaling the essential oils can enhance the calming or revitalising effects. Small mindfulness exercises can be incorporated into everyday management life to help you stay emotionally balanced and tackle challenging situations more calmly.
This combination supports emotional balance and can promote concentration without causing time-consuming interruptions.
My analysis
Improving the effects of aromatherapy is a clever way for managers to better cope with the demands of working life. By consciously selecting and dosing essential oils, integrating them into breaks and using mobile applications, mental performance can be supported. Mindfulness and a targeted atmosphere in the team also promote a more pleasant working environment. The focus here is on supporting well-being, without aromatherapy being a substitute for therapy.
