Features: All the recipes introduced in this book are related to natural spices. Even if you, as a reader, have not yet noticed this fact, I must emphasize one point: "Scent" does not equal "fragrance." In many of the items we use daily, there are a large number of synthetic spices: such as in toothpaste, food, and leisure products; in room air fresheners and cleaning agents for the kitchen and bathroom; in clothing, textiles, and many other items, all containing synthetic spices. Perhaps people have become so accustomed to this that it no longer attracts special attention. This specialized work opens up various new avenues for consciously utilizing scent in our lives and work, far beyond the traditional general principle of using spices as a primary therapeutic means. It presents a new theoretical perspective on aromatic substances, revealing the diverse functions of natural aromatic substances and how they can be purposefully applied. The main content of this book includes the effects of fragrance on the brain, nerves, and emotions; the differences and special characteristics between natural spices and synthetic spices; new methods and tools for purifying air with spices; the special effects of natural spices and examples of their applications and recipes; as well as various natural spices.
