  • Lost your sense of smell? Here is how I got it back in just 10 days by smell training. In this video I walk you through the details of how I set up my smell training kit, and the exercises I did every day to get my sense of smell back. Smell training to recover from smell loss is one of the best and most powerful ways to get smelling again. Smell training is also known as olfactory training, and it’s easy to do at home. All you need are 4 essential oils to create your own smell training kit and get your sense of smell back. It’s a powerful loss of smell treatment.
    This is what you will need to create your own smell training kit:
    4 (2 oz) glass jars preferably dark glass: amzn.to/3s2RwfB
    Labels
    Cotton pads: amzn.to/3MSx8G7
    or water color blotter paper: amzn.to/38q0dde
    4 essential oils; I recommend the following scents:
    Lime or Lemon
    Cinnamon Leaf of Bark
    Eucalyptus (any species)
    Jasmine, Rose or Ylang Ylang
    To prepare your smell training kit:
    1. Insert cotton pad, or watercolor blotter paper into jar (you’ll have to cut the paper into circles for it to fit correctly)
    2. Add about 10 drops of essential oils to each jar and let the cotton pad or paper soak it up.
    3. Cap your jar.
    4. Label each jar so you can tell which jar has which scent.

    I have not been able to smell or taste since March due to sinus infection. I tried your smell training and Day 4 and I am beginning to regain my sense of smell. I pray this continues. Thank you

      Amy! Oh dear...yes, keep practicing. I have no doubt you'll be able to exercise it back. Please keep me posted. Once I was able to distinguish the differences between these 4 aromas I started practicing on groups of oils - like: confiders, resins, blue oils, flower oils - to further hone and refine. Try that as well!

    I too have lost my sense of smell for 5 months now... I have been doing smell therapy for 2-1/2mos now. Not as intense as your technique but 2 times a day with 4 oils. Some days I get slight whiff but then other days I have none. I am going to try your way with 3 times a day with the meditative imagination perhaps it is this strong brain focus that will finally restart my olfactory senses. I have a passion for food, and wine and aromas and this loss is very disheartening at times

    Olfactory retraining...my son contracted Covid and lost his sense of smell and taste...I quickly headed to the store and got oils of nutmeg/cinnamon (spice), lemon/orange(citrus), rose(floral), and eucalyptus - smell returned within 3 days!He did this in the morning and at dinnertime.

    • @officialamygalper

      Why did u pick these particular oils

    • @officialamygalper
      @officialamygalper  Před 2 lety +2

      @@robinsresinsplus I wanted an aromatically diverse set, and after researching other olfactory trainings, it seemed like a range was: floral, citrus, spice and "airy" or medicinal... I did experiment and try essential oils that were all conifers fro example, or flowers or citruses - but I found that in the beginning it was more challenges to distinguish. However, once I was able to clearly detect the difference between these 4 groups, I started to refine, and grouped together different conifers, or florals, or seed oils, etc. ..to further hone. Hope this answers?

    Dealing with parosmia (distorted sense of smell and taste), I’ve been doing scent retraining for about a week and notice improvements! I can smell (accurately) oregano, cinnamon, lemon, lavender, peanut butter. However coffee, garlic powder, onion powder and most hot foods smell very foul & pungent. They smell the same & taste the same. Laundry detergent, soap, deodorant, shampoo etc all smells like the same strong chemical, identical smell. It’s so bizarre!! I see my ENT on Friday.

    When you repeat the exercise the following day, do you replace the cotton pad, or use the same pad. Thanks!

    • @officialamygalper
      @officialamygalper  Před 2 měsíci +2

      I'd change the pad 4-6 weeks, and add more oil every week, just a drop or two!

    Hi can you tell me if this would help me? I hit a deer on my harley june of 2021 and lost my since of smell from a skull fracture. If there is a strong smell around me i can tell that there is a adore of some sort but can not identify it at all. Thank you!

      Wayne. I am so sorry to hear about your accident...how horrible, but Thank G-d you are alive and OK! Losing your sense of smell due to injury is tough - and harder to recover - because there was structural damage...I'd recommend checking out abscent.org - I mention that site in the video. They are truly the pioneers in olfactory disorder research - maybe they may know of something that I am. not aware of. I wish I could help - please keep me posted if you need any other recommendations or support.

    Why not smell the oils directly from their original containers

    • @officialamygalper
      @officialamygalper  Před 3 měsíci

      great question. I like to keep my bottles closed so they don't oxidize. As oxygen can cause the molecules in essential oils to deteriorate more quickly.
