Aromatic Pathways in the Brain;
How Smell effects the Mind and Body
This teleconference with Joie Power, Ph.D. explores the olfactory system and the routes that odors travel as they move from the olfactory receptors in the nose and into the brain. Dr. Power will discuss the neurological basis of the connection between odors and memory and will explain how odors affect mood and mental states through the brain’s limbic system as well as the impact that aromas have on endocrine and immune system function. Nothing affects the brain more rapidly than an inhaled aroma and understanding the mechanisms of this action reveals the unique power of aromatherapy as a therapeutic modality.
Joie Power, Ph.D. is a retired board-certified neuropsychologist and former Asst. Professor of Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Georgia with training in clinical neuropsychology, olfaction, psychoneuroimmunology, mind/body medicine, Chinese Medicine (Five Phase Theory), traditional herbal medicine, and aromatherapy.
She is the founder and former owner of Dreaming Earth Botanicals/Somatherapy Essential Oils and founder and owner of The Aromatherapy School.
Dr. Power also teaches at the Botanologos School of Herbal Studies in Clayton, Georgia and at the Appalachia School of Holistic Herbalism in Asheville, North Carolina. She is the author of The Quick Study Guide to Aromatherapy and numerous published articles on aromatherapy and other topics.
