We all love putting vanilla in desserts for an added flavor and scent, why not also use it to alleviate anxiety?

A study was conducted at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in which a group of patients breathed vanilla-scented air for a specified time during an MRI and the other group didn’t. The results showed anxiety levels reduced by 63 percent in the subjects who breathed the scented air than the ones who didn’t.
