Will I Ever Get My Sense of Smell Back?
If you lost your sense of smell after Covid, you know how frustrating it can be. Research is showing that most people recover their sense of smell within 6 weeks, but about 20% of people still have no sense of smell 6 weeks after initial infection.

Based on the most commonly cited study by Dr. Thomas Hummel, olfactory training uses four unique scents designed to cover different fragrance categories using:
Lemon for fruity smells: https://amzn.to/34DU9bH
Rose for a flower fragrances: https://amzn.to/3mKPCuc
Cloves for spicy or bitter smells: https://amzn.to/3nYwD05
And Eucalyptus for ethereal odors or resinous smells similar to fresh cleaning solutions: https://amzn.to/3hkuREL
How to Perform Smell Training:
Step 1: Find at least 4 familiar fragrances such as Lemon, Rose, Cloves, and Eucalyptus (see above). Place 5-6 drops of oil on a piece of absorbent paper like watercolor paper and place into an amber glass jar: https://amzn.to/2M3Q2zq
Step 2: Twice a day, smell each container for about 10 to 15 seconds, taking just take a couple small sniffs of the fragrance. Try to keep the smell at the top of your nasal cavity instead of taking a giant whiff of the jar.
Step 3: Track Your Progress
Keep track of your progress each day by rating how strong you find each smell with each attempt.
