"Shower Habits and Scent Therapy Linked to Dementia Risk and Memory Improvement"
A study at the University of California, Irvine, found that seniors who used scent diffusers with a variety of essential oils in their bedrooms at night showed a 226 percent improvement in cognitive performance after six months. The scent exposure also led to better sleep quality and increased integrity in a brain pathway associated with memory and aging. This non-invasive method could potentially help in preventing dementia, with a related product expected to be released in fall 2024.
