variety of health benefits
to the body. Now, our
olfactory equipment has
been transformed into a
powerful weapon to fight
various complaints on
the body, say, stress,
insomnia, physical and
mental health
complaints, until the
weight loss. So, how did
this happen? Actually,
this complex process
starting from the
hundreds of types of
smells receptors in our
bodies that contain
millions of cells and
associated with our
respiratory tract. When,
a single cell detects
smells the information
sent directly to the
olfactory bulb, the room
for bean seeds in the
brain that contains
nerve. This signal will
then be selected and
sent to the limbic system
associated with various
types of memories and
emotions, such as basic
behaviors (eating and
responding), pleasure,
sexual desire, and
possibly addiction.Due to a variety of these
behaviors have in
common, then the
neurological control
often intertwined with
each other. For example,
romantic dinner can be
the first step to increase
our desire for sex. Here
are some of the power of
scent in our bodies: 1.
Lose weight. Giving
satisfaction associated
with smell and taste to
the receptor, it can play
an important role in
weight loss programs,

founder of the Smell &
Taste Treatment and
Research Foundation in

work that has
accumulated.
3. Face new challenges
with rosemary.
Sometimes the job
requires us to be able to
learn and do new things

before, resolve the
precarious situation with

Northumbria in England
is also at finding the
smell of this one can
enlighten our minds,
make us quick and
responsive. Always keep

when his new challenge.
4. Relieve cramps during
menstruation. Research
in Korea in 2006, found
the massage to the
abdomen for 15 minutes
every day with essential
oils can relieve cramps
menstrusasi up to 50%.
Often in trouble with
cramps during
menstruation? Time for
us to try "magic oil" from
a mixture of two drops of
lavender oil, one drop of
clary sage flower oil, and
one drop of rose oil with
aromatic almond oil

do the massage once a
day for a week before
our menstrual schedule.

romantic dinner with
your partner, pumpkin
pie served as healthy
snacks and do not forget
to tuck a cucumber-
