The scents you sniff play a strong role in how you are feeling. It’s a neurological thing. How do you feel about lemon and sage scents? Find out below.
Lemon’s zesty scent purportedly uplifts mood, reduces stress, and boosts cognitive performance by increasing norepinephrine (a chemical in your body that regulates stress and stuff) and stimulating the limbic system (the part of the brain that involves emotion, behavior, long-term memory, and your sense of smell). Whiff some lemon scent for enhanced mental energy and positivity.
Sage scent has also been reported to reduce stress and anxiety and enhance memory and cognition by stimulating the limbic system in the brain.
I don’t claim to understand exactly how this scent-brain-benefit works, but I am all for sniffing some lemon and sage if it could lead to an improved mood and cognitive function; you too?
You can find lemon sage tea blends if sipping is your bag. If you’re more of a coffee gal, then perhaps you’d like these lemon and sage scented candles and air fresheners.
Unrelated, but fun: Lemon in Spanish is limón; and Sage en Espanol es salvia. Are you impressed that I’m on level 24 in Duolingo?
