Frequently asked questions
Scents are the fastest way to trigger our brain. Thanks to the «direct connection» between nose and brain, scents are processed within milliseconds. And they have the ability to trigger feelings and emotions: a whiff of roses takes us back to the family garden or the smell of pine needles reminds us of a camping trip many years ago.
Scents consist of hundreds of different molecules. They act via the limbic system of the brain which is responsible for memory, homeostasis, mood and emotions. Depending on their exact composition, scents can influence mind and body in specific ways.
With the Aromastick inhaler, the scent molecules reach the nose directly and
without loss. Their influence on the body is thus three times more effective than conventional aromatherapy (Schneider 2016). Aromastick inhalers are now used by professional athletes, clinics and in hospitals across the globe.
Three things control the effectiveness of scents:
- amount of odour molecules
that reach the nose: the higher the concentration of odour molecules,
the greater the number and type of receptors that are stimulated. - exposure time: the longer the exposure to a scent, the weaker the effect due to habituation.
- the sniff:
sniffing transports scent molecules to olfactory receptors and,
together with airflow-driven mechanical signals, enhances odour
perception.
The Aromastick is exceptional because it addresses these three essential factors for scents to be effective.
The patented technology of our Aromastick inhaler, developed in
Switzerland, has several advantages over conventional nasal inhalers.
- the centrally held filter inside the tube guarantees perfect airflow around
it for maximum scent uptake with every sniff you take. - the suspended filter prevents the oils from coming into contact with the
tube. This prevents the diffusion of the oils into the plastic and
ensures their quality with every sniff. - the patented technology enables contamination-free filling.
We have an obligation to know what our products do. That's why we do research. The specially developed blends are subjected to safety and efficacy studies and we published the results. People who use Aromastick inhalers can be confident that the products deliver what they promise.
