Revealed! Scentsy Scents and Studying

Could one of our unique Scentsy Scents like Grape Granita or Mineral Springs help a college student on an exam? We have all done it, a big test tomorrow and we are cramming in a few extra hours of studying.  This is so common among college kids – students scrambling to get every bit of knowledge they can for exam day, even if it means giving up sleep for a night in order to spend hours with their noses buried in their books. But did you know that if you pulled your nose out from under the textbook, you could put it to use to help you unlock amazing memorizing potential?

Although our sense of smell is weak compared to many other animals like dogs, it is still very sensitive. Not only are we able to detect smells in the smallest of quantities, but it is also directly linked to specific memory centers of the brain.

Our smelling function is carried out by the primary olfactory cortex. This piece of the brain forms a connection with the amygdale and hippocampus. The amygdale is the control center of emotion and emotional memory, which is truly the strongest type of memory. This is the part of the brain that is triggered when you walk by a lilac bush or freshly cut grass and all of a sudden you remember an occasion or a place that you have forgotten for years

Working memory is the intermediate stage between short-term and long-term memory. Scents connected to these parts of the brain indicate that it has the possibility to help you produce powerful memories related with smells. In a recent article in the journal Science, researchers demonstrated that the presence of a scent during the learning process had a major effect on the recall ability of the subject the next day. The researchers found that the smell of roses delivered to people’s nostrils as they studied, improved their performance on a memory test the next day by about 13 percent.

So, how can our Scentsy scents help a college student with their exams? You can make use of this connection by studying with a unique scent under your nose. Achieve this by simply dipping your favorite pencil into one of the wax Scentsy scents, then, on a recurring basis, sniff it as you study. Ideally, the smell of that fragrance will imbed itself in your mind and your brain will retain what you are studying more clearly.

Come exam time, you can take the same scented pen to class and smell it while you respond to the exam questions. The scent ought to help you in your memory recollection. While this technique of studying will by no means take the place of being studious, college students regularly will use any advantage they can to obtain a good grade.  There are over 80 different Scentsy scents to choose from, at least one for each exam during the year.  These are the best wickless candles!
