Our Approach to Cognitive Scenting: Strategies for Enhancing Cognitive Health
At CogniScent, we believe that a comprehensive approach is key to enhancing cognitive health and overall well-being through the power of scent. Our strategies are rooted in scientific research, clinical studies, and years of experience in olfactory therapy. Below, you'll find a brief overview of each strategy we employ, designed to target specific cognitive and emotional outcomes. Click on each strategy to learn more about how it can benefit you or your facility.
Reminiscence Therapy
Incorporating scent into Reminiscence Therapy can transform the experience for seniors by tapping into the powerful connection between smell and memory. Scent has the unique ability to evoke vivid memories and deep emotions, enhancing the effectiveness of therapy sessions. When paired with Reminiscence Therapy, which helps seniors recall and share their life stories, scent can boost self-esteem, strengthen a sense of identity, and significantly reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. This combination creates a more immersive and emotionally resonant experience, making it a compelling strategy for facilities dedicated to improving the mental and emotional well-being of their residents.
AM / PM Protocol
Chronobiological Scenting
Experience the benefits of Chronobiological Scenting with our AM/PM strategy, designed to anchor and stabilize circadian rhythms for improved cognitive health. By using invigorating tangerine scents in the morning and calming lavender in the evening, this approach helps residents smoothly transition from day to night, reducing agitation and enhancing sleep quality. Easy to implement and highly effective, this scenting strategy aligns daily routines with natural biological cues, promoting overall well-being and making care more efficient and compassionate.
Zoned Enrichment
In medium to larger facilities, the advantage of having more space is the opportunity to create enriched zones. Residents can benefit from a gently scented environment by passively encountering diverse scents throughout the day. This provides the mental stimulation we need from any of our senses to stay sharp. Olfactory enrichment doesn’t have to be a sit-down smell training session; it can be seamlessly integrated into the architecture of the facility.
