I've wondered for a while if there are health enhancing smells. Basically, are there compounds that are healthy to inhale the way there are compounds that are healthy to eat?
Yes, from what I learned there, people used to burn incense in the hospitals to calm the mind, e.g. jasmine, rose, gillyflower smell, etc. and different smell have different benefits; Food wise, I know that adding rose water to food is a normal practice, even till this day in Turkey, so something in common so far is rose?
Maybe I can try sharing more after I digested my notes.
