A person’s mood can be greatly affected by the five senses. A beautiful scenery can make you feel excited and upbeat, while extreme temperatures can cause discomfort and irritation. People would sometimes turn to food for comfort, and of course there are those who listen to music as a way of relaxation. These are just some of the simple ways our senses affect and, to a certain degree, change our moods. The sense of smell, however, is something that many people overlook. Plugging in the headphones, eating comfort food, and even visiting a place we love are common things that people would do when they are having a bad day; however research shows that aromatherapy might actually be a more effective solution, since the olfactory bulbs are directly connected to the part of the brain that processes emotion.
