The Influence of Scents on Our Subconscious

The Power of Scents: How the Limbic System Controls Our Emotions

Many people underestimate our olfactory system and what it is capable of. After all, we breathe in and out 25,000 times a day, we suck more than 12 cubic meters of air into our lungs, and with every breath millions of scent molecules flow into our noses.

The odor molecules are absorbed through the nose. Here they attach themselves to the hairs of the olfactory cells that protrude into the nasal mucosa. Our nose can distinguish up to 10,000 different odors. In comparison, the human sense of taste with its five tastes is almost underdeveloped.

The odor molecule immediately triggers an electrical impulse at the olfactory cells. This is transmitted to the brain via the olfactory bulb, which is located directly above the root of the nose. Firstly, to the limbic system, a very old area of ​​the brain. Here, the impulse immediately triggers a feeling, depending on the smell, excitement, fear or disgust. At the same time, the scent conjures up images from long ago. Secondly, the impulse goes to the olfactory brain in the cerebral cortex. An invigorating scent can have a stimulating effect and, for example, increase the ability to concentrate. We think rationally about what we see, hear, feel and touch. Smell is the only sensory stimulus that is directly linked to the limbic system of the human brain. Scientifically defined, essential oils can trigger emotional reactions in the brain directly via the sense of smell (olfaction). So why shouldn't we also use this potential in special moments during sport or in everyday life?
