🌿 Your Nose Knows: The Limbic System Connection
Scent molecules travel directly to your amygdala and hippocampus—the brain centers controlling emotion and memory—bypassing your logical mind entirely. This is why aromatherapy can shift your mood in seconds.
The neuroscience of scent:
✔️ Lavender increases GABA production, your brain's natural sedative
✔️ Peppermint activates the trigeminal nerve, increasing alertness by 15%
✔️ Frankincense crosses the blood-brain barrier, reducing anxiety
✔️ Your scent memories are processed 10,000x faster than visual memories
Pure, therapeutic-grade oils are medicine—synthetic fragrances are neurotoxins.
