More great essential oil (EO) information supported by Pubmed (it just caught up to what the ancients already knew) on how Melissa Oil helps balance out the body via improved brain function!

Melissa EO was evaluated for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties in a preclinical model representing cognitive decline that mimics features of dementia. Melissa EO eased anxiety and significantly improved memory and executive function that is the set of mental skills that help us plan, focus, remember, and control our behaviors.

Further exploration of its mechanism and molecular targets identified that the EO inhibits AChE activity and by inhibiting AChE, essential oils can increase the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, which helps to improve cognitive function, learning, and memory. In many neurodegenerative diseases, there is a decline in cholinergic neuron function and an increase in AChE levels.
Furthermore, it acted as a powerful antioxidant, restoring the body's key defense enzymes and shutting down damaging oxidative stress. Its major constituents, like geranial and neral, showed remarkable ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (many essential oils do like Frankincense). This research suggests that Melissa EO is a promising multi-targeted solution for neurodegenerative conditions.

THIS is why I call essential oils-Ninja Oils! A new rose essential oil and highly intriguing study has shown that women who wore rose essential oil on their clothing for 30 consecutive days exhibited significant increases in gray matter volume across multiple brain regions, as revealed by high-resolution MRI scans! AMAZING!

Researchers propose that this effect begins with the olfactory system, one of the most direct pathways into the brain. When rose scent molecules are inhaled, they bypass the usual sensory relays and travel straight to the olfactory bulb, which has strong neural connections to the limbic system which is the brain’s center for emotion, memory consolidation, and autonomic regulation.

One of the coolest findings was the pronounced response in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), a key hub involved in self-referential processing, autobiographical memory, emotional evaluation, and internal attention networks. The PCC is also part of the default mode network (DMN), which is essential for memory integration and long-term cognitive stability.

The researchers suggest that prolonged olfactory stimulation from the rose scent may trigger continuous encoding and reconsolidation of odor-linked memories. This repeated activation leads to heightened synaptic activity, promoting:
Neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to form new neural connections)
Increased dendritic branching
Greater neuronal density in regions involved in memory and emotional regulation
These structural changes are reflected as increases in gray matter volume on MRI imaging.
Scientifically, increased gray matter in these regions is associated with:
Enhanced cognitive performance (memory, learning, decision-making)
Improved emotional regulation and stress resilience
Reduced neuro-inflammation
Stronger connectivity within the DMN
Lower risk of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, where gray matter loss is a hallmark feature

It’s important to note this study reinforces a growing body of research suggesting that olfactory stimulation is a powerful driver of brain plasticity. Scents, especially those with emotional or soothing properties, may act as non-invasive neuromodulators, capable of influencing neural activity and even altering brain structure when exposure is sustained over time. SO DITCH THE ARTIFICIAL SCENTED CANDLES, TOXIC SPARYS AND PLUG INS.

When at the The Zen Loft this past Saturday many of you wanted the mantra I do for soul retrieval forgiveness . It goes as follows:

" I return to you which was perpetrated against me by you and in return I take back a piece of my soul"

This is fantastic!!!!!!! I myself are on biorhythmic transdermal estradiol and progesterone and have eliminated every menopausal system making my brain healthier, my heart healthier, my joints, …my whole being better. I am going to be a certified functional hormone specialist so I can help women understand that hormones are not the enemy . Allopathic medicine wants women to think that estrogen causes cancer. It is long term estrogen DOMINANCE that does because progesterone is too low and estrogen sources are too present in our food supply, beauty products, supplements, protein powders, condiments, shampoos and everything else . There has to be a new approach to women who are constantly neglected in allopathic medicine because God forbid if allopathic medicine stopped focusing on men's erections for products to sell them and rather focus on creating a new protocol that as soon as a girl is menstruating and now producing hormones that in regular checkups they test to see where her progesterone is at , their estrogen is at -is estradiol lower or higher than estrone as well as other hormones and if estrogen is rising dangerously then you have to then introduce more progesterone and find out where the estrogen sources are coming from and and eliminate them. Plus every year for the rest of her life is tested for this and treated accordingly and this would plummet female cancers . But we are put aside for all the other male bodily functions that are prevalent for priority in allopathic medicine. .Allopathic medicine afs failed women for too long and it's time that we become empowered with our own knowledge and demand a change and how women are treated in allopathic medicine as hormones are an incredible part of it. My God we have estrogen and progesterone receptors in our brain, our heart, our joints, in our gut, skin and throughout our entire body. Our hormones are responsible for immune response, stress response, cardiac function, circadian rhythm function and so much more. I'm ending my rant here but I cannot wait to be certified as a certified functional hormone specialist to start helping women on a grander scale than I do now.

Did you know that humming closed mouthed for over a minute can reduce cortisol by 65%!

Also the vibration in your facial bones stimulates the vagus nerve which creates powerful air resonance in the sinuses, which helps oxygenate the blood and improve communication between cells. That means more energy, sharper focus, and deeper relaxation. Just 10 seconds of humming may boost nitric oxide levels by up to 1,400%! That means better blood flow, oxygen delivery, and even cellular repair!

So the next time you are feeling stressed or need to be more focused- Hum! ~Barbara
