Facts:
The scent of the earth has been found to have a calming effect on humans, and researchers have suggested that this may be due to the presence of geosmin, a chemical compound produced by soil-dwelling bacteria that gives the earth its distinctive smell. Geosmin is also responsible for the earthy taste of beets and some other vegetables.
