Studies have shown that smells can have strong impacts on wellbeing with pleasing scents often providing mental relief or comfort and repulsive odors bringing about stress or psychological instability. In this experiment, ammonia gas was used as an odor stressor to apply smell stress to mice. Changes in behavior, such as development of aggressive or depressive tendencies, were observed. Results showed that ammonia gas caused significant amounts of stress on mice and eventually made them depressed. In order to investigate the positive effects of smell, DendropanaxMorbiferusH.Lev.(DMHL), known as a cure for cancer and immune system diseases, was used through diet and fumigation methods to mitigate the stress of the mouse. Observation of changes in cortisol level, AST, ALT, etc. in the mice showed that DMHL leaves actually relieved the stress of the mice and increased their perceptive ability, suggesting that odors like that from DMHL can be used in different applications to help people overcome depression and relieve stress. Overall, smell greatly influences people and mice both positively and negatively, depending on its use and type. The conclusions from this study have important implications for aromatherapy that could be used for curing people mentally influenced or developed further to create better environments for people.
