They are investigating the effects of certain odours on the following physiological parameters: heart rate respiration rate EEG activity blood oxygen skin resistance blood pressure Smell has the ability to affect our physiological and psychological state via two mechanisms; (1) the instrinsic pharmacological properties of the odour molecule itself and (2) contextual association and memory. Tim Jacobs' site is fascinating and also links to other information about olfaction research <a href="http://www.cf.ac.uk/biosi/staffinfo/jacob/teaching/sensory/olfact1.html#Mood" rel="nofollow">http://www.cf.ac.uk/biosi/staffinfo/jacob/teaching/sensory/olfact1.html#Mood</a> For example : Smell and dreams A recent study in Germany has shown that smell can influence the quality and emotional tone of dreams. Researchers wafted the smell of roses under the noses of sleeping volunteers in the REM phase of their sleep (dreaming phase). They then woke them up and asked them to report on the content and quality of their dreams. While the subjects did not report actually smelling anything during their dreams, the emotional tone of their dream did change depending upon the stimulation. The smell of roses evoked pleasant emotions and the smell of rotting eggs had the opposite effect. BBC News online Sept 2008 Lindsay on "Research links" http://www.aromatherapywales.org/forum/topic/research-links#post-14 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:00:41 +0000 Lindsay 14@http://www.aromatherapywales.org/forum/ It is commonly said that there is not enough research completed to prove that aromatherapy is clinically effective. However there is more out there than many of us realise. If you know of any research that can be accessed can you write and very brief explanation - one sentence could be enough - of the work and post up the link to it. We could build a good resource centre this way.
