The power of the Christmas fragrances: experience emotions from childhood!
Erlangen, Deutschland - The Christmas season unfolds its magical fragrance and not only enchants the senses, but also the memories. A survey in Wasserburg am Inn shows that cinnamon, cloves and oranges are inextricably linked to the fixed time for most people. Jessica Freiherr, professor of neurosciences at the Clinic for Psychiatry in Erlangen-Nuremberg, explains that aromas can arouse emotions. In this way, special smells can activate memories that are deeply anchored in our memory. These flavors get into the brain directly via smell receptors and influence the emotions and memories that we connect with them. The origin, childhood and cultural environment play a crucial role, such as Deutschlandfunk.
The power of smells
By combining smells with memories and emotions, so many Christmas fragrances become part of our personal history. These strong connections can also have an impact on our body; Studies even show that the fragrance sensors are present not only in the nose, but also in other areas of the body such as stomach and intestines. For example, spices and pleasant aromas can stimulate digestion, while soothing scents such as sandalwood promote wound healing. This means that the Christmas fragrances are not only a pleasure for the senses, but also a holistic experience for body and mind.
