Sniffing Others' Body Odor May Ease Social Anxiety: Study

A new study from Sweden suggests that exposure to body odor could be an alternative therapy for those suffering from social anxiety. The study found that sweat produced with emotion has an anxiety-reducing effect. The researchers collected sweat from volunteers who watched clips from movies to induce emotions. Next, 48 women who were experiencing social anxiety were exposed to different odors, some of which included the sweat samples, along with mindfulness therapy. The researchers plan to do additional study to confirm these findings.

Sniffing Others' Sweat May Ease Social Anxiety, Study Shows

Mindfulness therapy combined with exposure to chemo-signals from other people's sweat could be an effective treatment for social anxiety, according to a study presented at the European congress of psychiatry in Paris. The study involved collecting sweat from volunteers and exposing patients being treated for social anxiety to chemo-signals extracted from those samples. The results showed that patients who were exposed to the odour samples responded better to the therapy, with a 39% reduction in anxiety scores after one treatment session.

Study suggests sniffing body odor can reduce social anxiety.

A study by researchers from Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found that exposure to human "chemo-signals" in body odour can reduce social anxiety by nearly 40% when combined with mindfulness therapy. The researchers asked 48 women with social anxiety to sniff some of the armpit sweat samples alongside receiving mindfulness therapy. Those who sniffed body odour appeared to do better with the therapy. The study suggests that human body odour can even tell our emotional state- happy or anxious.

Sweat from others may ease social anxiety: research

A new study from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found that exposure to other people's body odor, or "chemo-signals," can reduce social anxiety by nearly 40% when combined with mindfulness therapy. The study used sweat samples from volunteers to extract chemo-signals and expose participants to them. The team found that after undergoing one session of mindfulness therapy with the chemo-signals, social anxiety was reduced by about 39%. The researchers are hopeful that their findings could increase the effectiveness of standalone e-health interventions, such as meditation apps.
