Scented Headache

Got a headache? Skip the scents - they could be making things a LOT worse!

If you get headaches – you might want to stay clear of scented candles and air fresheners. 50% of people who suffer from headaches are actually really sensitive to those artificial scents that affect our central nervous system. This phenomenon gets much worse in the winter time when windows are shut and holiday aromas are practically everywhere. And if you don’t like the scent – it’s even worse. That’s why most of us can get a wicked headache when someone near us is wearing really bad perfume or cologne.
