Individuals often associate visits to the doctor with a somewhat fearful, unpleasant stigma, especially if the smell of the doctor's office or hospital is not welcoming. Introducing a customized scent in the office and waiting room can help to subtly influence the patients’ perception and can cultivate a feeling of trust and well-being. Diffusing essential oils into the air via a scent diffuser can help soothe feelings of anxiety or stress and can make the tense and rigid environment more relaxing.
