What is Aromachology?

Aromachology, also known as aroma psychology, is a field that explores the relationship between scents and human behavior, emotions, and well-being.

It examines the psychological and physiological effects of aromas on individuals. Aromachology combines elements of aromatherapy (the use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes) and psychology.

The study of scents and their impact on human psychology and behavior has been ongoing for centuries.

The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were known to use fragrances and aromatic substances for religious rituals, healing practices, and personal adornment.

Aromachologists study how scents interact with the brain's limbic system. When we smell something, like essential oils, we inhale chemicals called esters that give flavors and aromas.

The sense of smell comes from specialized cells in the nose. The scent reaches the olfactory bulb in the brain, part of the limbic system. This system affects emotions, motivation, and memory.

The human nose contains approximately 450 olfactory receptors that detect smells. These receptors send signals to the brain to decode, starting with the olfactory bulb.

This information is then transmitted to the limbic system, a group of brain structures associated with mood and behavior regulation, according to scientific understanding.
