Aromas that enhance the wood element include chamomile, lavender, bergamot. They contribute to self-development, strengthening of optimism.
The lack or excess of items of any element can also be compensated for by fragrances.
For example, too much fire causes fatigue and irritation. This element can be weakened by aromas related to the element of wood (grapefruit, fennel).
An excess of land interferes with the achievement of the goal. You can compensate for it with the aromas of cypress, juniper, yarrow.
The strong influence of the metal provokes secrecy and distrust. Smells of geranium, lemon, cypress, thyme will help smooth it.
Too much water takes away good luck. The aromas of marjoram, cardamom, coriander will help.
An excess of wood causes forgetfulness, anxiety, irascibility. This element will weaken the smells of ginger, pine, tea tree, jasmine.
In any case, you need to use a scent that is pleasant to you, you should not use a scent you do not like.
