Oils Nose Your Brain

More and more medical evidence now suggests that our brains’ health can somewhat be defined by our sense of smell. In general terms, the better your sense of smell the better your brain health. Abilities of the brain such as being able to seek or experience pleasure, understand or experience emotion, and having a good or poor  memory are all areas that can signpost whether our brain is in good working order. Having a good sense of smell is directly linked to parts of the brain such as these.

In one scientific study, researchers went to 2,900 peoples’ homes between the ages of 57 to 85 to examine their recognition of smell. Odors such as leather, orange, fish, peppermint, and rose were tested on the individuals. Five years after this initial set of tests the researchers returned. It was discovered that those that were unable to recognize at least 4 of the 5 odors ( since the first test) were two times more likely to developed dementia by that second round of testing. Other forms of memory loss including Lewy body, Dementia, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease have been shown similar findings in studies also.

Other neurodegenerative diseases have displayed that a decline in the sense of smell can also be related to greater brain health. With the buildup of higher pollutions in cities and cities getting bigger there is a greater possibility of viruses, bacteria and overall pollutants affecting our children and the population at large. Studies have shown that this can have adverse effects on overall brain health.

Also, younger people and children need to be aware that if the olfactory nerve is compromised in some way through the inability of their sense of smell then there is less information and stimulus going towards their brain. Therefore, the importance of natural aromas being used is central for overall brain health.
