🔬 Scientific Literature

“It has been proved that mint compound essential oil sniffing therapy can improve the cognitive function of patients with mild cognitive impairment by reducing the content of serum AchE [13]… The decline in learning and memory ability is directly related to the decrease in the activity of acetylcholinergic neurons (Lv et al., 2022)”

NCBI
