As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate, many people find themselves under immense pressure from work, family, and social commitments. For women from immigrant backgrounds, the challenge of adapting to a completely new environment can be especially overwhelming, often leading to both physical and emotional exhaustion. To help ease stress and support emotional well-being, aromatherapy—a natural and gentle form of healing—is increasingly becoming a preferred method of relaxation for many. Aromatherapy uses scents and active ingredients of natural plant essences to help regulate the body and mind. Common essential oils such as lavender, ylang-ylang, lemon, and neroli have proven effective in relaxing the body, uplifting mood, boosting immunity, and ultimately releasing built-up stress. For new immigrants, aromatherapy not only helps relieve the pressures of daily life but also supports them in finding a sense of inner balance, fostering well-being and harmony for both body and mind.

The Northern Miaoli New Immigrant Family Service Center will host “Aromatherapy Secrets: Balance and Harmony for Mind, Body, and Spirit” on Saturday, April 19th, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. This event offers more than practical training in essential oil techniques—it’s also a meaningful opportunity for newcomers to receive cultural care and emotional support in a welcoming environment.

Through aromatherapy, participants can learn to relax, build confidence, and explore practical ways to cope with life’s pressures and challenges together, ultimately finding their own balance and inner strength.

Newcomers to Taiwan are warmly invited to join this event and register promptly! Spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, please contact Social Worker Zheng at 037-634428.
