Gardenias,
pristine white,
poking like night stars
from a dark green bush.
One flower
is enough
to lift the mood
with its divine fragrance.
It’s aromatherapy
in the truest sense.
Even when shriveled,
it emits pleasant scent—
no chemicals,
just natural phytochemicals.
Our immune system approves these.
Just an idea:
don’t spend money
buying those poison cocktails—
deodorants, perfumes,
cleaning agents,
and room fresheners.
They’re hormone disruptors.
Will ravage your nerves
and curdle your blood
Slowly, but surely.
Buy a pot of gardenia—
nurture it,
bask in its fragrance,
stay healthy.
Note: Artficial scents are hormone disrupters.
