The research shows that exposing the brain to dozens of different scents improves memory. But how likely is it that someone is actually going to do this every day? This is where Memory Air comes in. In this blog, we'll share how this brain-changing device works and what you can expect when trying it.
How Memory Air Works
The device holds a belt of forty small pouches, each containing a different natural, pleasant essential oil. It works by delivering one scent at a time.
-
One pouch is gently warmed so it releases its scent.
-
A large, silent fan carries that scent across to you for roughly 20 to 30 seconds.
-
Then the fan stops, and the air clears before the next pouch is warmed.
-
Each scent gets about a four-minute cycle, which is what keeps one scent from bleeding into the next.
-
Over the night, it works through all forty scents twice, resulting in eighty exposures.
How to Use It
You put the device on your nightstand, on the side of the bed you face while you sleep. Memory Air is about five and a half inches square and nine inches tall; it plugs into the wall, and it has no battery. The first night that you use the Memory Air device, you slide in the scent belt and press the start button once. The scents start to flow about 40 minutes after you press the button, and you never have to press the button again.
The scents are designed to reach your nose, which is why the smells don’t spread across the room and turn your bedroom into a fragrance mixture.
A bonus: if two people share the bed, one device can serve both, though each person needs their own account. Many people prefer to have one for each person in bed.
What Happens Over Months of Memory Air
The first night. Most people report feeling more rested because they have better quality sleep.
Six months. The research trial behind this work ran for six months, and that is when the memory improvement will be most evident.
Your membership includes a memory test. You can take it as a baseline before you start and then retake it every few months to track what has changed.
A New Scent Belt Delivered Every Month
After about thirty days, the active ingredients in the pouches diminish, and a depleted belt provides a weaker stimulus. For the device to stay effective, the scents need to be changed every month. You will receive a belt of new scents each month, and it is easy to change: open the door, take out the old one, and put the new one in.
