Does your perfume affect your brain?

Are scents making you feel bad?

Are you aware of the amount of synthetic scents and perfumes there are out there and what they are doing to your health? The growing trend for plug in diffusers, reed diffusers, scented candles or aerosol sprays doesn't look like it is going to go away any time soon. No doubt you feel compelled to make sure that your home not only looks good, but smells good too. Clever marketing encourages you to use scents 24/7 with sprays for different rooms of your home. Synthetic scents are even finding their way into public buildings and not just lavatories taking away any choice you may like on the matter. Conscious of the health issues associated with tobacco people are now trying vaping and e-cigarettes, which all use synthetic flavours. And what about the things you use in and around your home on a daily basis? If you love a daily shower there could be a whole array of products that you use to keep yourself smelling and feeling fresh.

Does the inside of your nose ever feel sore or itchy? Do you ever feel tired, run down, headachy and lethargic for no apparent reason? All this and more could be down to a very simple thing. Scent. The perfume industry is huge and scent is everywhere. It isn't just in your perfume or favourite scent. It finds its way into the everyday products you love to use.
