-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Does the smell of pine make you smarter?
URL: https://www.psypost.org/does-the-smell-of-pine-make-you-smarter/
Short-term exposure to essential oils from two tree species — the Douglas fir and the Hinoki cypress — produced no significant effects on mood, psychological stress, or cognitive performance in a well-designed laboratory study. Researchers noted that most participants could not reliably identify the scent they were smelling, according to research published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.
Research consistently shows that being outdoors — especially in forests — improves mood, reduces stress, and sharpens mental performance. But as cities grow and green spaces shrink, scientists are increasingly interested in whether the specific elements of nature that drive these benefits can be recreated indoors.
One underexplored candidate is smell. Forests are rich with airborne molecules released by trees, including substances called terpenes, which have been linked to reduced stress and improved immune function in prior studies. However, those earlier studies exploring cognitive performance were very small and produced inconsistent results.
The researchers behind this new study wanted to test the effects of tree scents more rigorously and in a larger sample, while also exploring whether the familiarity of a scent matters.
Led by Djo Juliette Fischer of the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf, together with Simone Kühn of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the team conducted two linked studies in Germany. In the first study, 68 participants (mean age 28.2 years, 53% female) were randomly assigned to either a Douglas fir group or a Hinoki cypress group.
Each participant completed the same tests on two separate days — once with the tree oil diffusing into the room, and once with plain water as a placebo — in a randomised order. Because the Douglas fir is a scent common to German forests while the Hinoki cypress is native to Japan, the design allowed researchers to test whether odour familiarity mattered.
When the first study produced a marginal hint of an effect on one vigilance measure in the Douglas fir group, a second study added 34 more Douglas fir participants to boost statistical power. Across both studies, participants completed seven cognitive tasks spanning working memory, attention control, task-switching, inhibition, vigilance, and executive control, alongside mood and stress questionnaires.
Neither tree scent produced any significant effects on any outcome. The initial hint of a vigilance benefit from the Douglas fir vanished once the larger combined sample was analysed. Crucially, additional statistical testing did not merely fail to find an effect — it provided strong evidence that no meaningful effect existed.
One potentially telling finding came from a small subgroup. Only around 15% of the participants in the second Douglas fir study correctly identified the scent as coming from a tree or forest. When looking at the 14 participants across both studies who correctly identified the origin of the scent, the researchers found tentative hints of reduced fatigue and sharper inhibition performance. This suggests that consciously recognising a smell as nature-related may be necessary for it to trigger psychological benefits.
As the researchers note, “most participants could not reliably identify the odour, suggesting limited conscious awareness and/or semantic associations.” Indeed, most participants in the second study who noticed any smell at all described it as citrusy, floral, or like a cleaning product.
Several aspects of the study design may have limited the chances of detecting an effect. For example, the researchers did not explicitly tell the participants the study involved scents, introducing the diffuser simply as a humidifier. Additionally, the 75-minute cognitive battery likely induced mental fatigue that could have masked subtle benefits. Previous studies showing stress-relief effects typically had participants sit and inhale the oil for a short period without any mental demands.
The researchers also note that individual tree essential oils cannot replicate the full chemical richness of real forest air, and the plain laboratory setting offered none of the visual or contextual cues that might help people associate a scent with nature.
The study, “Scent of trees: Investigating the short-term effects of two tree essential oils on mood, psychological stress, and cognition,” was authored by Djo Juliette Fischer and Simone Kühn.

Dedico bona part de la meva tasca educativa a desmuntar mites, modes absurdes i fal·làcies entorn de la remeieria.
Una d'elles és la fal·lera injustificada pels olis essencials perquè:
- És molt poc sostenible: l'obtenció d'olis essencials requereix gran quantitat de planta, aigua i energia. Tot plegat per obtenir una substància ultra concentrada que en la gran major part dels casos caldrà diluïr per aplicar.
- Va en contra d'un dels principis fonamentals de la remeieria tradicional: empra el remei més suau capaç de fer la feina requerida. En molts casos recórrer directament als olis essencials és allò de "matar moscas a cañonazos". Fina i tot, són bastant perillosos. Especialment en ús intern.
- Son extractes molt limitats: la major part dels principis curatius de la planta quedaran dins l'alambic. A l'oli essencial només hi haurà els principis actius volàtils.
Hi ha formes remeieres més respectuoses amb la nostra Natura interna i amb l'externa, que ens permeten gaudir dels olis essencials per via interna, com els oleats, les tintures, els melats... Remeis fets amb solvents que no només tenen la capacitat d'extreure els compostos volàtils sinó molts d'altres, mostrant un perfil químic més fidel al de l'herba. I en aplicació externa, tant com per aromatitzar, desinfectar, purificar (o el qué sigui) espais, tenim els bafs i l'encens en les seves diferents formes.
D'aquestes preparacions senzilles però eficients, en parlarem🐍el 2 de maig al Taller Encens: perfum, remei, esperit de Poboleda 10:30- 17:30h 40€
I pots aprofitar i quedar-te a la sortida etnobotanica del dia següent.

#EssentialOils to Avoid Using Around Your Dog
By Organic Aromas
December 24, 2023- Exercise caution when using essential oils around pets to avoid toxicity and health risks.
- Certain essential oils such as tea tree oil, cinnamon, citrus oils, wintergreen and sweet birch are harmful to dogs and should be avoided.
- Consult a veterinarian before use for safe practices with alternative non-toxic remedies available.
"Certain essential oils can pose risks to dogs, causing skin irritation, respiratory issues, and even toxicity if ingested or applied topically. Used improperly, some essential oils may cause changes in behavior, adverse central nervous system effects, and respiratory difficulties. Being cautious and knowledgeable about the potential hazards linked to essential oils for your dog is necessary.
Dr. Janet Roark, a veterinarian, emphasizes the importance of safety guidelines when using essential oils around pets. Cats, for example, are significantly more sensitive to the effects of essential oils than dogs, including rosemary essential oil. The same caution should be exercised when using essential oils around dogs, as they can also experience negative effects."

"Certain essential oils can pose risks to dogs, causing skin irritation, respiratory issues, and even toxicity if ingested or applied topically. Used improperly, some essential oils may cause changes in behavior, adverse central nervous system effects, and respiratory difficulties. Being cautious and knowledgeable about the potential hazards linked to essential oils for your dog is necessary.
Dr. Janet Roark, a veterinarian, emphasizes the importance of safety guidelines when using essential oils around pets. Cats, for example, are significantly more sensitive to the effects of essential oils than dogs, including rosemary essential oil. The same caution should be exercised when using essential oils around dogs, as they can also experience negative effects."

DIY Natural Essential Oil Tick Repellent
By Erika in Essential Oils
"Ticks can be a real issue when you’re enjoying the great outdoors. But why rely on chemical-filled repellents when you can make a natural alternative at home? In this post, I’ll show you how to create your own natural tick repellent spray as well as a handy roll-on that fits easily in your pocket.
Essential Oil Tick Repellent Spray Ingredients
This simple DIY combines all 4 powerhouse oils for an ultra-effective spray! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 oz (or larger) spray bottle
- apple cider vinegar
- water (distilled, filtered, or spring water is best)
- geranium essential oil
- cedarwood essential oil
- citronella essential oil
- lemongrass essential oilYou can also make a roll-on bottle. You’ll need 10ml glass roller bottles for that.
You may have noticed that this recipe does not recommend a carrier oil, like fractionated coconut oil like many other essential oil recipes do. I wanted to be able to spray this on my children’s clothes, socks, shoes, etc., without worrying about oil stains.
How to Make a Natural Tick Repellent Spray
First, fill your spray bottle about 1/3 of the way with apple cider vinegar. You don’t have to measure or be exact. Apple cider vinegar may help keep mosquitoes away too so that is an added benefit!
I recommend using 30-40 drops total of essential oils for a 4oz spray bottle. This amount has worked well to keep the ticks away for my family.
Add 10 drops each geranium, cedarwood, citronella, and lemongrass essential oils.
adding drops of best essential oils for tick repellentFill the rest of the bottle with water. That’s it!"
