Scented Biofabrics for Anxiety-reducing
In our modern, fast-paced society, where anxiety and psychological disorders are on the rise, this concept explores the use of botanical scents as a novel method of stress relief. This innovative system design aims to enhance the soothing properties of rosemary by leveraging chromatography mass spectrometry to manipulate its ultraviolet spectra. This involves extracting the herb’s essence and embedding it into bio-fabrics via microencapsulation technology. This approach also facilitates the the way for customizable personal scents.
