Die Lust am Duft (EPUB)

Nothing works without the nose! We breathe, smell and taste with it. Smells warn us of danger and scents can evoke memories and feelings. Completely without the mind. The nose decides who we find seductive or who we just can’t smell. We often only realize how important smelling is when diseases like Corona rob us of this sense. Everyone’s scent preferences are individual. Just like your own scent, which sends out messages and helps us to choose a partner. The exciting thing: We don’t just perceive these messages with our noses, but fragrances have an effect on the whole body. They can speed up wound healing, change the heartbeat, and improve hair growth and digestion. They also affect the brain: we become calmer or more active. Recent scientific research has shown: Even tumor cells react to scents and reduce their growth. Conversely, tumor cells themselves emit odors. Trained dogs can recognize them.
