We all know about aromatherapy, and how it can help soothe people's nerves. But what if their nerves got a little too soothed and they fall into a stupor? Well, fear not, that's why there is the miracle treatment: aroma shock therapy. Here's how it works: whereas pleasant scents can help calm one's nerves, awful stenches can fray the nerves, and this leads to a therapeutic shock to the system. It's the olfactory version of shock treatment.
So, with this therapeutic goal of a stimulating jolt to the senses in mind, what kinds of scents are used? Well, therapists have studied this and have found the strongest, most pungent scents to be the most effective. There's ammonia, sulfur, feces, putrefaction, etc. Any strong, acrid aroma will do, shocking the system back to life. It's really just a boutique version of smelling salts turned into oils and scented candles for the hoity-toity crowd.
