--Diffuser users performed better than control subjects on a test of verbal and recognition memory.
--A product for at-home use based on the trial is expected to be available in fall 2024.

This sounds like a fun way to work on memory. I love scents and I have these essential oils: Lime, orange, anise, oregano, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, spearmint, and one called "Breathe In (don't know what that is, but it might be a eucalyptus-mint combo)"

Now I will just need an essential oil diffuser. They are not expensive; only around $20 I think.
