How I Regained My Sense of Smell by Smell Training

[@officialamygalper]

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

[@gretadickerson8711]

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

[@officialamygalper]

This is huge news! Please continue to keep me posted!!

[@lisashereika8146]

I also lost mine after a sinus infection since Jan 1st. Lost it all after the intranasal gel injections of Flouroquinolone antibiotic . Sinuses are fine. But zero taste and smell. Are you still tasting?🙏

[@lilyjade4738]

How are you two months later?

[@opalwilliamson222]

I have been 2 years without sense of smell and taste. And this is the best video I have seen. I will definitely try it. Thank you

[@officialamygalper]

please let me know if this helps! I want to hear from you!

[@Macario-Armas-de-Montero]

you're kidding me, wow I will pray for you, have faith it will come back, wherever you are in the name of Jesus your smell will return

[@ccash3290]

Did it work?

[@lisashereika8146]

I also lost all sense of taste and smell from a Levaquin gel injection into my sinuses. Hope you have healed. I'm praying as it awful

[@samcad-ho3ze]

@@lisashereika8146I’m there too. Everything smells like burnt bin juice with mould. It’s distressing but I’m trying this and I’m taking zinc which is supposed to help.

[@AmySapola]

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.

[@officialamygalper]

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!

[@debranovak3434]

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 🙏🏻

[@officialamygalper]

Oh my gosh....please keep me posted.

[@faithopeloveful]

I have had zero taste or smell for 12 years following a virus that kept me in my home for 3 months! I will try this therapy! Thank-you!

[@officialamygalper]

Oh my goodness. Wow, not sure if this will work! Your situations is serious. But it defintely can't hurt...keep me posted?

[@sew-n-love]

Did you try Amy's treatment? Let us know if this worked for you

[@micheleharris1614]

I have let others know about this technique. A few tried it and was successful. I'm going to do it to refine my sense of smell. Thanks.

[@officialamygalper]

Perfect. Let me know how it goes and if you need help!

[@teachrkimmy2898]

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]

this is amazing. Congrats! We need to share more stories like this.

[@opalwilliamson222]

WOW!! He's happy I bet..

[@michellefrolick1879]

Loss of smell, due to Menopause. Will definitely try these exercises & hope I’ll regain it. Thank you so much🙏🏼

[@officialamygalper]

ok...let me know if you have questions

[@Bris650]

Going to try this today. Thank you for this informative video😊

[@officialamygalper]

Sure thing! Let me know if you have any more questions about it

[@laurenw2446]

Going to start this today! I lost my smell from Covid almost 10 months ago :(

[@officialamygalper]

let me know if you have more questions and how best I can support you!

[@michellecromartie8434]

I'm going to try this. I lost my sense of smell from Sinisitis. I'm going to try this

[@officialamygalper]

Ok...let me know how it goes?

[@gothope77]

I regained by sense of smell in ten days without using any assistance but I now started smell smoke periodically a year later.

[@officialamygalper]

hmmm. I'd try doing some smell training to help with that....

[@angielilliank.1109]

Thank you for this excellent video, Amy.

[@officialamygalper]

Thanks for watching Angie - would you mind sharing your biggest take away?

[@angielilliank.1109]

@@officialamygalper I loved learning how you set up the scent training in glass jars with cotton pads and hearing about your instructions to remember the sight or taste of the botanicals.

[@SandraStatz]

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.

[@valeriefierro4433]

I have 3 weeks

[@valeriefierro4433]

How is it going

[@officialamygalper]

ok please keep me posted

[@SandraStatz]

@@officialamygalper Hello Amy. I just ordered the items to make the kit. I don’t have my full sense of smell and taste back and will reply in time. Thanks kindly for such an informative, well done video.

[@SandraStatz]

@@valeriefierro4433 I finally ordered and received the items for my smell kit. I’ll reply in time. Thanks for asking :)

[@everetttriplett2340]

Thank you! You're so sweet!

[@officialamygalper]

you are welcome

[@damattice23]

Just lost my smell, have been struggling since last Friday with Covid. I keep thinking it’s all in my head, but then I grab a coffee jar or Vicks and smell NOTHING. It is so bizarre! If this persists, I will absolutely try this. Thank you.

[@officialamygalper]

I've been there! Keep at it!

[@colynweaver1848]

Going to try this 🤞, thank you 😊

[@officialamygalper]

SOory for my very very long delay in answering you. So...how did it go? Did you make it?

[@StephanieD2]

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.

[@officialamygalper]

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 !

[@livecalm2246]

Did the coffee taste/smell improve? Four months post Covid coffee still smells like acetone to me. Onions and garlic are also not right.

[@wayneharris7058]

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]

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.

[@MichaelCalabrese-pn4nu]

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

[@officialamygalper]

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

[@JevanJevandelossantos]

I dont know how to smell.even what smell is that.hope you give me an idea😢

[@officialamygalper]

what do you mean? You can't smell anything at all?

[@deborahnewry2387]

I have been 2yrs 10😮 months maybe about 5 percent of both back. I have the oils today I am going to commit doing 3 times a day. I got so frustrated and stopped.This is horrible state to be in 😢

[@officialamygalper]

practice - how did you lose your sense of smell?

[@shirinmamujee1780]

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?

[@officialamygalper]

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]

Why did u pick these particular oils

[@officialamygalper]

@@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?

[@tanisha_tlc]

Thanks for sharing!!!! 🙏🏽❤️😇🙏🏽

[@officialamygalper]

You are so welcome

[@farooqakmal7496]

I don't smell from my childhood. Will this experiment help.

[@officialamygalper]

Sorry to hear you can't smell. Did your loss of smell have something to do with a childhood illness?

[@falindamcc2534]

It worked for me after 4 weeks of this therapy but once I stopped smell training, sense of smell eventually went away again. Sense of taste too

[@officialamygalper]

hmmmm...that is weird....I'm not a DR, so not sure why this happened?

[@maureenharris-coyle3801]

I'm wondering if this smell training would help with diminished sense of smell from smelling straight essential oils over many years.

[@officialamygalper]

It might! I'd give it a try. But make sure to take plenty of breaks. keep me posted! thanks for watching

[@FahimehMoghimi]

I don't regain my smell sense and taste sense for three years after covid, what should I do?

[@officialamygalper]

I'm not a DR...so maybe see a physician? Otherwise doing smelling exercises can help?

[@AnnaDaugherty-xn1fu]

My mother in law lost smell and taste. Any results with that?

[@officialamygalper]

how did she lose it?

[@shannonbates714]

4 years no smell/taste. Not covid related. Head injury. I hope this works for people, sadly it didn't work for me.😢

[@officialamygalper]

oh no! Head injury? How terrible. Very sorry to hear this. From what I've learned when it is an injury that causes structural issues, I don't think this kind of training can help. I am not a dr. You can certainly try,...I wish I could help

[@lisashereika8146]

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's lonely & frustrating, I have no taste or smell either. Have you been to U of PA in Philadelphia Taste Clinic?

[@marklivas990]

Why not smell the oils directly from their original containers

[@officialamygalper]

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.

[@jt8498]

Over three years with no smell and a little lost of taste from Covid-19.

[@officialamygalper]

UGH that is the worst....let me know if you give this a try?

[@cpr2go]

3.5 years later still gone after Covid - I can smell all oils on right side of my nose at close range , left side is zero , but come to food and edible food , zero - all meats no smell - nothing at all - I’ll give up oils for food

[@officialamygalper]

Hmmm...how can I help?

[@nodrogytsirk]

I’ve been losing my sense of smell over the past few years….fell face first and broke my nose…..it’s disconcerting. Just found this video. Maybe this will help? I can still smell some bad things

[@officialamygalper]

Give it a try and keep me posted. Sorry to hear about your accident!

[@dmartins21]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@officialamygalper]

thanks!

[@sprinkleoflight]

Ok lost my smell sinus infection 🤧

[@officialamygalper]

ugh that is terrible! If you commit to an exercise like I explain in this video you might see some progress! I can't promise, I am not a dr, but its worth giving a try!

[@sprinkleoflight]

@officialamygalper I got my smell back thank goodness I never been so happy smelling essential oils and food in my life 😀💕
