Have you lost your sense of smell Then it can

Just like any other sense, the sense of smell is important and an obvious part of our lives. Many who have had corona have experienced how it feels to be affected by loss of taste and smell, and probably realized that it is the senses that you take for granted on a daily basis.

Imagine not being able to taste a really good meal, with a suitable glass of wine, your favorite snack, or not being able to smell freshly brewed coffee, or your partner’s perfume. Not so funny huh? But apart from the fact that much of the satisfaction you get from taste and smell, lacking a sense of smell can actually have serious consequences.

This is how you train your sense of smell

According to 1177 are there tricks that can help to train your lost sense of smell. What to do then is to select four to six different smelling objects that have a lasting scent. Examples of this could be:

  • Vanilla powder, honey, jam, peanut butter, coconut oil, minced garlic, ketchup, coffee or boiled egg.
  • Body soap, toothpaste, hand soap or other household products that have a distinct scent.
  • Different spices that have a distinct scent, for example basil, cardamom, cinnamon, oregano or parsley. Do not choose chili pepper or other spice that can irritate the nose.

    • Then follow these steps:

  • Smell each scent for about 10 to 20 seconds.
  • Concentrate on the scent and how you remember it should smell.
  • Smell the fragrance like you would smell a flower. Do not draw in too much air. Also, try to imagine the smells with your thoughts.
  • Repeat the same procedure with the next scent.
  • Make sure you are not disturbed when you practice smelling so that you can concentrate on the scents.

    Therefore, it can be dangerous

    According to the ecology professor Bill S. Hansonwho SVT has spoken to, the consequences of the corona pandemic have led to a wider understanding of the meaning of a lost sense of smell.

    According to him, a lost sense of smell means that you also lose your footing, and this can lead to serious mental illness. Hansson also explains that the scents act as an alarm. For example, you can feel when it smells burnt, something that can be life-changing.

    “People who have lost their sense of smell more often get burned or get food poisoning,” he says SVT.
