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.

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?

went to a health museum and collected some interesting information, but I'm still digesting them - people used to use food, drinks, herbs, sound, and smell to heal during the Ottoman time.
