Our sense of smell is one of our oldest, yet least understood senses in the human body.

We know so much more about our sense of taste and sight and hearing and touch than we do about our sense of smell.

This makes it extraordinarily difficult to find good research on the impact of aroma

on the formation of memories, on the healing of trauma, on simply how essential oils engage with our brain and with our body at large.

Today I'm very excited to be interviewing Dr. Eric Zelensky because he and I talk about what does the research actually have to say about essential oils

and how can we stop trying to make essential oils prescriptive and instead make them intuitive

and a piece, a stepping stone, one thing that we do each day that is a joyful

part of our self-care, healing, and wellness journey. Let's get to the show. Welcome to the Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast that

helps you find fulfillment amidst chaos. On this show, I interview thought leaders, doctors,

creatives, spiritual gurus, and game changers who inspire you to pursue your dreams, overcome

obstacles, and leave your mark.

Thank you. dreams, overcome obstacles, and leave your mark. Dr. Eric Zelensky is the author of two national best-selling books, the healing power of

education and his background is quite varied. He started as an aromatherapist and is also a public

family, his website and blog, with his wife, to help everyday people learn how to use essential

oils safely and effectively. His website now reaches more than 3 million

health seekers every single year. Natural Living family has become a wonderful resource for essential oil

education as well as education that is focused on
