A recent study has demonstrated that continuous exposure to rose essential oil through inhalation can lead to measurable increases in gray matter volume in the human brain.
In this randomized controlled intervention, 50 healthy women participated: 28 in the experimental group applied rose essential oil to their clothing daily for one month, while 22 in the control group used plain water. Before and after the period, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess changes in brain structure. The results indicated a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) across the whole brain, with a particularly notable effect in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC)—a region involved in memory processing, self-referential thinking, and emotional regulation. No significant changes occurred in areas like the amygdala or orbitofrontal cortex.
The olfactory pathway likely explains this effect: aromatic compounds from the rose oil travel directly to the limbic system, providing sustained stimulation that may promote neuroplasticity and help counteract age-related brain atrophy. The authors suggest this could have implications for dementia prevention, as the PCC is among the regions affected early in conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
This appears to be the first evidence that prolonged scent inhalation can induce structural changes in the adult human brain.

I exposed the Islamic takeover of New Jersey. The mayor of Paterson has renamed his city "the capital of Palestine in America." Main Street is now Palestine Way. I went there to ask questions about what they truly want.
I'm kicked out of one of the biggest mosques in America within minutes of asking about a sheikh there who did a sermon for former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Mosque security tails me in a golf cart filming my license plate off the property. I later uncover that the mosque has 3 connections to Hamas.
In the video, I go into a barbershop and immediately am asked "are you a Jew? Are you a Zionist?" before being slammed out the door under a window with a t shirt that says "Jews Did 9/11" and a photo of Sinwar, the architect of October 7th, 1200 people were killed that day including 46 Americans and Saleem honors him.
I try to interview more people but most can't speak English. A man tells me "if you walk down Main Street it's like Ramallah."
The mayor has declared Paterson the sister city of Ramallah. The streets are empty at 1:30pm on a Friday because everyone is at the mosque.
This is a 30 min drive from NYC.
🚨ANOTHER CITY FALLS: DOWNTOWN CHICAGO SEIZED FOR ISLAM
While our leaders obsess over Europe’s slow death, Chicago is being captured right now.
On June 25, 2026, thousands of Shia Muslims took over downtown Chicago streets for their annual Ashura procession.
Not inside their mosques.
They seized public streets in the heart of the city a sea of burqas, black flags, and men rhythmically beating their chests in mourning for their prophet.
This is not quiet prayer.
This is a public show of force and total commitment to their ideology.
Chicago already has over 100 mosques.
Yet they still flood downtown, shut down streets, and perform their rituals openly in the name of “justice”, the same “justice” that ultimately means Sharia.
This is the exact same pattern we just saw in Dearborn: public dominance, demographic replacement, and zero interest in assimilation.
Chicago’s streets now belong to them for the day.
Soon it will be permanent.
We are losing one American city after another to Islamic supremacism while our politicians and media pretend it’s only happening across the ocean.
Dearborn.
Chicago.
Minneapolis
Patterson
Hamtramck
Houston
Detroit...
Next? Wake up! This is not immigration.
This is conquest by inches, and they are no longer hiding it.
J.B. Pritzker says officials estimated ~120,000–150,000 people in Illinois are at risk of losing SNAP benefits because they didn't meet the work requirements or they didn't provide documentation
I think that's another way of saying fraud was removed isn't it?
Pritzker is the anti-Harry Truman. The buck DOESN’T stop here. He’s blaming the Bears for leaving when it’s his job to protect the interests of the people of Illinois. Pritzker will spend $2.5 billion to keep illegal immigrants here, but not a penny to keep the Bears.
@Metra why oh why do we all stand on the platform every damn day at Ogilvie for way too long to board our trains.
No air movement and people are getting fed up with this crap.
10 years. 10 years. I’ve listened to every Dem & never Trump pundit call Trump, Elon and anyone else who voted Republican a Nazi. And now they line up behind Platner, with an actual Nazi tattoo. Unbelievable.
Just remember: if you had to spend money burying a loved one because they were hit by an illegal immigrant, or if you were involved in a car accident and your insurance rates went up while the driver fled the scene, remember that Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias @Giannoulias supported issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.
Now he’s running for mayor, with $18 million in campaign funds. Instead of Prison . Meanwhile, Rhymefest Rhymefest is campaigning alongside him on the South Side.
Shame Shame
In a crowded field of expected Dem. presidential candidates, you are polling at 4%.
Across the nation, you have 14% name recognition.
In Illinois, you have a 52% approval rating, and 48% say you should not run for president.
You will never be president.
Alexander "Xander" Kazanowski was beaten to death 2 months ago by these four people, who's faces are clearly shown, and not one of them has been arrested. If @ChicagosMayor could stop being racist for one day and help get this mans wife and kids some justice that would be great.
FYI!!!
“The death of the American beef industry”??
NO!!
Absolutely NOT!
Ivermectin treats screw worm for one thing.
We’ve beat it before and we will again.
These fear mongering people need to sit down! They forgot one thing. The American Rancher!! We check and care for our herds! Screw worm only get in an open wound or a new calf navel. They don’t just eat flesh without an injury.
We will monitor, treat and move on!
CALM DOWN!!!
The reason ID is banned in California (and New York) elections is to enable large-scale fraud.
When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized.
Brandon Johnson is using $21 MILLION from his $1.25 BILLION housing bond to fund homebuyer grants, yet many working-class Chicago families can’t qualify because of strict debt-to-income requirements.
Meanwhile, the city allows migrant borrowers to participate with ITIN loans.
But a teacher. A CTA driver. A city worker. A Black family trying to buy their first home won’t qualify with a 38% DTI.
Who is this program really designed for? I’m JUST saying.. this how they keep you out.
"Imagine your child-40 feet running for their life--and never coming home and then tell me why you're voting for these (sanctuary) policies."
Sheridan Gorman's mom's challenge should be put to every sanctuary pol--and their voters--in Illinois.
