Smell Training Kit, Pure Essential Oils 4pcs
Essential oil kit for olfactory training and olfactory education. If you have lost your sense of smell and taste after a respiratory infection, don't despair. Olfactory training can help you to recover your impaired function faster.
The Clinical Olfactory Working Group (COWG) has issued a consensus that recommends olfactory training as the first approach in such cases.
The benefits of olfactory education and training were first reported in the scientific literature in 2009 (Hummel et al) - subjects sniffed 4 essential oils - lemon, eucalyptus, rose and clove - for 12 weeks; the essential oils were chosen for their aromatherapeutic properties rather than for the fact that they are from different fragrance groups. The results of this and subsequent similar studies were positive, i.e. the subjects' sense of smell improved.

- Take 4 paper or cloth handkerchiefs and apply a fresh daily drop (2-3 drops each) of essential oils: lemon, eucalyptus, rose and clove
- Sniff each scented handkerchief for 30 seconds, taking small breaks between each scent
- Smell consciously, analysing what you feel. You can write the names of the scents next to the handkerchiefs; sometimes read them before sniffing and sometimes try to guess which scent you are smelling
- Practice twice a day for at least 12 weeks or until your sense of smell has recovered. You can intuitively change the number of drops, the duration of use, even the scents themselves
