Maharishi AyurVeda looks at you as an entire human. It understands that the mind and body are integrated systems. And that we are all individuals. Most of us value modern western medicine. It’s particularly good at diagnosing conditions. However, have you ever been to the doctor and felt that they are only looking at a small part of the picture?

A scent goes to the part of the brain associated with learning, emotion and memory. If the hypo-campus (where we store memories) decides that a memory is important enough it can file it away forever. This means that when you smell that scent again you remember your emotional state when the smell happened.
There’s a direct superhighway from the smelling area to the emotional centre of your brain . So it’s primed to make these connections. There is research showing that our ability to smell and determine smell is associated with mental welbeing research. Other research suggests that this is particularly important as we age.
