Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Sorry with my late reply to this as I have been off the group for a few weeks. I would urge anyone interested in aromatherapy to read this abstract as it is critically important to how this therapy works. For years I have been saying that I suspected native trackers were unknowingly using their nose to follow scents, as well as visible factors. Anyone who attended my past lectures in the USA would attest to this. The reason it is so critical is because it proves once and for all that the human nose can detect minute volumes of odour molecules and in turn the brain responds. Forget the hogwash on skin absorption, this is the way the olfactory part of the therapy works.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 This is no surprise to me, either. Years ago, living in northern Michigan, the month of May was devoted to hunting morel mushrooms in the local woods. One day my (then) husband walked into the woods and said " I know they're in here. I can smell 'em. " His parents told him he was imagining things, but I took a couple of sniffs and said, " I believe you're right! " And we hit the jackpot! Thereafter, we always approached an area with our noses first, and got so we could tell instantly if a particular area of the woods had morels in it.
