Those who experience ASMR are sometimes also more sensitive in their other senses - particularly smell and touch.
'Touch' is a combination of several senses actually - temperature, pressure and pain are the biggest factors. Yes, pain! Tasting something very hot like a yummy buffalo wing actually is enjoyable in part to out pain receptors reacting to its molecules and giving us a bit of a rush. Similarly, hopping in a cool lake on a hot day is so refreshing in part because of a small 'pain' reaction to the jarring temperature shift. Our senses are very complicated!
Smell is the sense most attached to our memories and to physical places. It is one of the first senses babies develop and use to identify people and whether they feel safe, confused or scared. Even a fleeting scent of bread from a neighbour bringing in groceries can activate memories of a grandmother baking bread and wash your mind with feelings of comfort, love and nostalgia.
To compliment the sensory body experience of ASMR, the incorporation of soothing and specific touch and smell sense reactions, we recommend purchasing some of these products.
