Scent Could Counteract Memory Effects of Stress
Monday, August 24th, 2009
A designer scent – SerenaScent - combines three active plant chemicals (mostly trees) into a spray that claims to curb the effects of long-term stress including degraded memory function. It is a new product being marketed by NeuroAuroma Laboratories and received a write-up in Cosmetics Design that includes the following:
“Specifically it greatly reduces the structural changes that occur in the hippocampus [a part of the brain associated with memory and spatial orientation] during prolonged stress thus maintaining normal memory function,”he explained.”
I have not reviewed the publications or tested the product yet. Checking in to see if any readers have.
