Our Philosophy
ScentAssist is based on the belief that prioritizing set and setting is essential for a comfortable and fully integrative psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT) experience. Scent is a purposeful enhancement of the setting that can quickly and easily relax the inner climate in a PAT session, thereby intentionally relaxing the nervous system in preparation for the deep work. ScentAssist blends are based on in-depth research on the specific organic compounds in each oil used and their evidence supported effects in the brain. Scent is an external way to tap into internal experience thereby amplifying any therapeutic experience. Smell is the only sense that is active in all states of consciousness, even while asleep or in an altered state, such as during PAT.
Ascent gently supports internal reflection, tapping into areas of the brain that are inextricably linked to the most primal areas of our brains—the amygdala, the limbic system and the hippocampus—which are responsible for emotional processing. Descent promotes stomach-ease at the end of a psychedelic experience where nausea can be a concern. Clearing ceremoniously clears the energetic body and physical space with its antiseptic and ritualistic assets. We created ScentAssist blends to help create the most meaningful experience for you on your journey to wellness.
