Most people understand they need to drink water throughout the day. Not just when they feel thirsty, but as a constant habit to keep their body working well. If you wait until you are dehydrated, you are already behind.
Your nervous system works the same way.
If you wait until stress is high before you try to calm down, you are already playing catch-up and the damage has already been done.
Smelling the right scent throughout the day can be like hydration for your mind. With Pause, the blend of hinoki and yuzu works on your nervous system to help regulate stress and cortisol levels before they spike. The calming compounds in hinoki, like bornyl acetate and α-pinene, signal your body to shift into a more balanced state. Yuzu’s limonene and linalool quiet the “fight-or-flight” system so your stress response stays lower in the first place.
A calm mind is a better operating mind. You think clearly, you respond instead of react, and when it is time to wind down at night, your body doesn't have to immediately shift gears. It's already closer to a restful state since you maintained that mindset throughout the day.
Drinking water keeps your body running smoothly. Scent keeps your nervous system steady, promotes calm and even helps you fall asleep fast. Both work best when they are habits, not afterthoughts.
