Olfactory dysfunction, often dismissed as a minor inconvenience, may actually be an early sign of various neurological and bodily diseases, as indicated by this research.

"The data are particularly interesting because we had previously found that olfactory enrichment can improve the memory of older adults by 226%," said Leon. "We now know that pleasant scents can decrease inflammation, potentially pointing to the mechanism by which such scents can improve brain health."

This finding, he added, could hold key implications for mitigating symptoms and possibly even reducing the onset of certain diseases through therapeutic olfactory stimulation.
