The Power of Scent & Memory – How Fragrances Affect Emotions and Recall

Have you ever caught a whiff of something and suddenly been transported back in time? In this episode of Green Earth Essentials, we explore the powerful connection between scent, memory, and emotion. Discover how your sense of smell is directly wired to your brain’s emotional center, why certain aromas can instantly trigger vivid memories, and how essential oils are being used in modern therapy, grief support, and even sleep care. We’ll also dive into the science behind fragrance, the cultural roots of aromatic healing, and how you can use scent intentionally to support your mental and emotional wellness.
