Black Pepper Essential Oil and Dysphagia

I stumbled upon this interesting article the other day. The study is a few years old but I found it fascinating. I studied Nutrition in college and dysphagia, the inability to swallow, is a common problem affecting people who have suffered from strokes or suffering from Alheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia or other types of brain injuries. Saying you can forget how to swallow may sound incomprehensible but that's basically what happens. The danger is the risk of aspiration pneumonia which can be fatal.

It was found that olfactory stimulation using BPO significantly improved the sensory and reflexive motor movement of swallowing, presumably via activation of the right insular cortex, the function of which is reported to be impaired in patients with dysphagia. It was previously reported that patients with depressed swallowing reflex over 5 seconds were at high risk for the development of pneumonia. This function was impaired in the present patients, suggesting dysphagia and a high risk of pneumonia. Therefore, olfactory stimulation using BPO is a possible new remedy for treatment of elderly patients at high risk of pneumonia. http://www.dent.niigata-u.ac.jp/dysphagia/education/readings/7tani.pdf
