The article reports on a study examining whether inhaling a specific essential oil blend called Genius can boost cognitive performance in healthy adults. It uses a double-blind design with three conditions (Genius blend, sage essential oil, and no aroma) and measures cognitive performance with memory and attention tasks while monitoring brain metabolism with near-infrared spectroscopy. Results show improvements in memory and executive function for the Genius condition, greater alertness, and less fatigue, though the increased brain activity did not directly account for the performance gains.
This study is of interest to psychology readers because it investigates how olfactory stimuli can influence cognition and mood, and it uses neuroimaging to explore possible mechanisms beyond subjective experience. It also discusses the idea of synergy in aroma blends and highlights methodological challenges in delivering standardized aromas.

Congestion relief protocol: 20-minute walk + cool morning air + #aromatherapy. Nature’s diffuser never fails. #PatAndCharlie
When it comes to #aromatherapy for congestion, nothing beats a 20-minute walk on a brisk, cool morning. Nature clears more than airways. #PatAndCharlie
Just a reminder... Especially when making gifts for those with cats!
ASPCA List of Toxic #EssentialOils for Cats You Should Avoid
Author Becky Murray
Posted Aug 20, 2025
Excerpt: "If you're a cat owner who loves aromatherapy, be aware that some essential oils can be toxic to your feline friends. The ASPCA has a list of oils to avoid, and it's essential to check it out.
Peppermint oil is one of the oils on the list, and it can cause vomiting and diarrhea in cats if ingested.
Some oils, like tea tree oil, can cause more severe symptoms, including tremors, seizures, and even liver failure in cats.
Eucalyptus oil is another oil to steer clear of, as it can cause respiratory problems and other issues in cats.
Other common toxic essential oils to cats and dogs include cinnamon, citrus, clove, peppermint, sweet birch, thyme, and YlangYlang.
If your pet comes into contact with any of these oils, immediately contact your vet, the ASPCA Poison Control Center, or visit the nearest veterinary emergency hospital.
Some essential oils that are particularly toxic to cats include:
Lavender oil (especially toxic to cats)
Oregano oil (especially toxic to cats)
Pine oil
Sweet Birch oil
Tea Tree oil
Thyme oil
Wintergreen oil
Ylang Ylang oil
Remember, even if an essential oil is natural, it's not inherently safe for your cat. Always keep essential oils out of reach of your pets and consult with your veterinarian if you're unsure about the safety of any product."

1. I boiled a pot with a sweet satchel a friend and her coven put together for me. It made me feel loved. And made my apartment smell so good.
2. The sun came out today. So I welcomed it in.
3. That in spite of my grief, I can still feel other things. Like compassion and love.
