We all know that the placebo effect can have a very strong impact on a person’s health

So can the nocebo effect.

They may not improve my health, but beautiful aromas lift my spirit.

Although I am an eminent Metaproctologist, I am also a specialist in the field of Psychoneuroendocrinology. My studies of digestive aromatherapy have achieved dramatic results. However, my experiments do not use lemon and lavender!

I agree. Nice smells are ... nice. I never imagined they would cure my toothache!

Can you get placebos OTC or do you need an Rx?

As they do mine, and while they may not cure what ails you, you certainly feel more relaxed, and that's always good for you.

My husband swears by Vicks Vapo-rub. That would be considered aroma-therapy, wouldn’t it? It does seem to open up the sinuses.

They even make a Puffs Plus tissue with Vicks scent on it and I swear it makes my nose seem less stuffy after I blow it...more so than just blowing alone.

"Glaser and Malarkey are all members of Ohio State’s Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research."

The name Malarkey caught my eye!! Kind of amusing - considering the type of article this is. :)

Vicks has some powerful chemicals in it - menthol and camphor. They affect the dilation of the bronchia, in addition to the mucus membranes of the nose and sinuses.
