The aroma of roses has a beneficial effect on human memory. This conclusion was recently reached by German scientists. It turned out that this floral scent during sleep revitalizes memories. Thus, everything that a person has learned earlier, is fixed at a time when the brain is at rest, as the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net According to scientists, the memories of what a person did during the day, asleep, seem to pop up. In order for the accumulated information to remain in memory, an additional stimulant. At least, to achieve the best effect, this is exactly necessary. Studies have shown that the smell of roses helps to consolidate the knowledge.

Several experiments were carried out. In one of them, the room where students were preparing for the exam was filled with the fragrance of flowers. And then the participants of the experiment slept in a room with the same smell. As a result, students passed the exam better than their peers. And this confirmed the hypothesis of scientists. Another experiment was that 74 volunteers had to memorize pairs of cards and objects for a while. During this task, some participants inhaled the aroma of roses. Then the scientists observed the different stages of sleep of these "experimental". Periodically, they sprayed the floral scent next to the sleeping ones. As a result, the next day, those who helped the roses, remembered about 97% of pairs of cards and objects. The remaining participants in the experiment were able to name only 86% of subjects.

In the mechanisms of the formation of emotions in humans and the consolidation of memory, that is, in the process when short-term memory becomes long-term, the hippocamus. This part of the brain, which during the sleep is activated and becomes more sensitive.

The aroma of roses promotes the passage of complex biochemical processes in the gray matter. Therefore, the results of scientific research were not unexpected for many. This is just confirmation of long-known things. It should be noted that people quickly get used to various smells, so the effectiveness of their effects over time decreases. So use the aroma of roses to memorize important things should not be too often. Only in cases of special need.
