Ever heard of pupcake aroma therapy? Pupcake aroma therapy is the scent that fills your home when those pupcakes baking in the oven. In fact, certain aromas can enhance the mood of your home. Some realtors even advise sellers to use certain scents to heighten the appeal of their home or space to a potential buyer.
Remember how you felt when you smelled your mama baking something in the oven? Why not create the same nostalgic felling for your dog? Especially, since dogs have a sense of smell that is 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than any human. So, here are three of our favorite spices for you to in your pupcake recipes this summer.
VANILLA
Vanilla is a calming aroma. It can also lower blood pressure and can reduce irritability. It also serves as a great deodorizer for your home, which is why so many candles use vanilla as a scent. Vanilla is also soft and alluring, which can also help someone relax.
CINNAMON
Cinnamon is a sweet and spicy aroma. The scent is a great mood booster and has also been proven to alleviate sadness. It also can address the feeling of fatigue and promote easier breathing. Cinnamon also creates a feeling of nostalgia due to a lot of baked goods consisting of cinnamon.
GINGER
Citrus aromas are pleasant, cheerful, and uplifting. They also insight feelings of freshness, cleanliness, and increase focus. However, citrus fruits are not healthy for dogs. So, ginger is a great substitute. Like citrus, the ginger aroma enhances concentration and increases focus. It also reduces feelings of stress, sadness, lethargy, and anxiety.
