And he preferred really hot and spicy food after that, no doubt trying to make up for the missing aroma. |
I have seen two people recover sense of smell. One by putting basil oil (1-2) drops on the back of the tongue each day
Another by clearing his sinus congestion with an oil I make
I have met many people who have lost sense of smell. people (us) don't realise what a loss it is. Firstly all food is "grey" and un-interesting Secondly it can be dangerous- smelling something burning for example. The nose can pick up the slightest smell of burning. I did read the actual amount once but we can pick up the tiniest bit of smoke

Alzheimer's is a disease that terrifies me.
I have been looking at painless ways of taking myself out should I start to have it.
So far without a lot of luck. Most plant poisons are terrible and everything else is painful and/or messy. I guess you need complicit doctor
