I have found some natural flavors to have interesting effects on the senses. Like peppermint, for example, was in legends used by micronesian sorcerers to lift stone columns with their minds an build Nan- Madol (an artificial pacific island). I think it is a cumulative psychic growth stimulant. So is anise and especially fennel, they seem to sharpen the intellect. I tried mixing peppermint and cinnamon and found that they do not mix and have unpleasant effects together. Also of interest is this wonderful chinese spice called "Hua Jiao" (Szechuan Pepper)-- when burnt it expands a room and makes it seem bigger. Out of curiousity when I was much younger I burnt cayenne and found it to be a strong "anti spirit" agent. It sure exorcised me! Anywho, if anyone has some natural flavors to add to this list or personal experiences, they are welcome!
