Turf Aromatherapy

Inhale that freshly cut grass; it's good for you ...  Australian researchers have discovered when grass is cut, it releases chemicals that make people feel happy and relaxed. In fact, it can even prevent the mental decline of old age.

The scent works directly on the brain, affecting the regions responsible for emotion and memory, according to Nick Lavidis, a neuroscientist at the University of Queensland. These two areas "are responsible for the flight or fight response and the endocrine system, which controls the releasing of stress hormones like corticosteroids," he says, explaining that the scent of freshly cut grass helps regulate those areas.

So, go ahead. Take a few nice, deep inhales of spring.
