Scent Diffusers Improve Memory in Seniors

[Hekate]

18. I also like scents, but since I don't use diffusers I don't know exactly what's involved...

I stayed in a friend’s guest room for a week, and she had those plug-in air fresheners right next to the head of the bed. What I could sense was how oily it was — and as I use a Bi-Pap I didn’t want oil clogging up the machinery. I also have asthma, so likewise for my airways. It turned out to be awkward to unplug, and spilled its contents … argh. Not the most successful visit.

I’m fine with the occasional scented candle. I can’t stand Febreze room “freshener” spray.

Funny the article should mention forgetfulness as a reason to not assign an oldster to unscrew 80 vials of scent per day — geez, people, haven’t you ever heard about arthritis of the hands?!

Anyway, depending on the delivery method, I’d love to try this out.
