Placebo fragrance therapy?

Hmm, for some people asthma is, in part, psychosomatic so the cure might be...
...psychosomatic!
An article from NPR about the potential of using odor to treat asthma.

Gosh, I remember when that Monell study about a possible psychosomatic factor in asthma attacks was first published and a similar article made the rounds in the Facebook groups. A few people dismissed the study because it was conducted on a small scale, so hopefully broader research is in the pipeline. Thanks for the interesting link, Grey.
