How I Regained My Sense of Smell by Smell Training

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.

Have you tried smell training? Got questions? It's a great practice to refine your sense of smell. Let me know what you think?

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

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 🙏🏻

This is SO timely! I am just recovering and lost my smell completely just this week! It’s awful. I’m getting my jars made tonight. 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!

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.

I recently noticed my sense of smell was compromised. I did some research online and found out that this is linked to memory. I have a memory problem as well as sleep issues. I like to sing so I tried to make a connection. Do you think sense of smell could have a positive effect on singing? I imagine it can affect emotions. I am going to try this and see if I can regain my sense of smell and hopefully memory. On a side note, I once had apathetic thoughts towards aromatherapy, but now I see how essential smell is to the human experience. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing this information. I am so grateful as I have been trying to find a way to help others who have lost their sense of smell. Can we use inhalers which are glass instead of glass containers?

thanks so much for watching. Yes, you can try the inhaler..I think the jars are more focuses for both nostrils to experience though...but give it a try and let me know!

@robinsresinsplus 2 жыл бұрын

Why did u pick these particular oils

@officialamygalper 2 жыл бұрын

@@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?

Hi. I lost my sense of taste and smell a month ago. I tested negative twice for COVID. I think I had bad tests. Anyhow my senses are returning but not to my satisfaction. Thank you for sharing this. I am going to try this as soon as I get the items/oils you suggested.

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.

gosh so sorry to hear you are dealing with this! But good to hear that smell training has provided some improvement. Thanks for sharing! I'm not a DR !

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

@officialamygalper 3 ай бұрын

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!

@officialamygalper 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.
