    Sniffing black pepper supposedly lowers anxiety

    So I tried it and it works! does anyone else get a benefit from it?

    Placebo effect? there is a scientific theory behind it on google

    This could boost the economy, sales of snuff boxes up by 1000% since the days of top hats & canes.

    Never heard of this one. What's the mechanism?

    Oh no not Mr google

    i've not tried that i can't really say if it works but it could possibly be a plaebo, i find Cinnamon really helpful(not too sniff though haha) i just sprinkle some in my warm milk at night, i have also have herbal nose inhalers made from natural ingredients and whenever i'm feeling anxious like on the bus i just take a nice whiff and i'm all good x

    Well whatever you try, don't try curry powder on your roids!
