Scientists have continued their research to better understand the effects of aromatic agents on the human brain. In Chicago, researchers conducted a series of experiments, through which it became clear that aromas of natural origin can cause a rejuvenating effect.
Experts from the Institute of Taste and Smells were able to select natural smells that are characteristic of household and flower crops. Special attention was paid to bananas, mint, lavender and grapefruit.
These fragrances were applied to the skin of experimental women for the purpose of experiment. The men were asked to use these scents to determine the age of the subjects. MIGnews.com reports that the grapefruit scent caused the most active reactions in men. This scent allowed women to create a 6-year rejuvenation effect.
The same experiment was conducted with the age of men. Not a single woman could be fooled. Not a single smell could "rejuvenate" men.
It is worth noting that a little earlier, scientists from South Korea were able to put forward their theory of odors. This time it was about the smells of food. The hypothesis was that different smells of food can affect the human brain. From this, the life of an individual can become shorter or longer.
