And perhaps also the most powerful. In this extraordinary program, we delve into a world we are hardly aware of in everyday life – the world of fragrances and their effects on our brains. Together with neuroscientist Damir del Monte, we discuss findings that can fundamentally change our understanding of human nature. Because scents don't just affect our noses – they act directly on the brain. And from there, on emotions, behavior, hormones, and even our immune system. A famous professor even says: Perfume should never be applied to the skin. Why? Because fragrances are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin and can thus have an immediate impact on our bodies. Lavender, for example, increases the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain and therefore has a calming effect. Lily of the valley fragrances, in turn, play a surprising role in reproductive biology: They can influence sperm motility. The scent of a breastfeeding mother instinctively leads a newborn to the breast. And, astonishingly, we can even smell fear. But that's not all: Medications like the birth control pill also alter our body's odor—and thus potentially even our choice of partner. What becomes visible here is a largely unexplored world: The world of chemical communication between people. Fragrances are messages. Messages from our bodies. Perhaps they hold a key to understanding health, emotions, and human relationships. This program opens the door to one of the most fascinating fields of research of our time. Because the treasure trove of odorants could contain far more than we can currently imagine. ▬ Guest ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Dr. phil.
