What is it about?
A number of recent studies have shown that a specifically designed odor inhaler containing various scent compositions has the ability to decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Similar results were found for the reduction of chronic pain or the enhancement of selective attention and concentration. This paper follows up on these findings and investigates whether a specially designed inhaler (‘Energy’) is capable of temporarily increasing blood oxygenation.
