Fall Smells That Are Good For You

This is the time of year that everyone goes pumpkin and apple crazy.

Everywhere you turn its pumpkin flavored this and apple flavored that.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin anything, except pumpkin pie, but this time of year some of the smells around us are actually really good for us and have some health benefits.

According to the Huffington Post, these are four smells that we usually associate with this time of year that can actually have health benefits:

1. Cinnamon. A recent study found it can improve your motor skills, memory, and attention span.

2. Pumpkin. It's an aphrodisiac for men. A study in 2014 found it worked on about 40% of guys when it was mixed with lavender.

3. Apples. A study in 2008 found the smell of apples can help with minor headaches, and even relieve migraines for some people.

4. Nutmeg. Studies have found that burning nutmeg incense can help you relax and fall asleep. And there's also a compound in it that might block the enzyme that contributes to Alzheimer's disease.
