Aromatherapy works best in a calm, comfortable environment where the mind and body can fully relax. Many people enjoy diffusing essential oils outdoors — in gardens, patios, balconies, or open relaxation spaces.
However, strong sunlight and heat can sometimes reduce comfort during outdoor relaxation. Creating a shaded outdoor space can help maintain a soothing atmosphere while still enjoying fresh air and natural surroundings.
Some benefits of shaded outdoor relaxation areas include:
Better comfort during warm weather
Reduced heat and glare
Improved focus during meditation or aromatherapy
A peaceful and balanced environment
I’ve been exploring different ways people design outdoor relaxation spaces using natural shade solutions that allow airflow while reducing direct sunlight.
