Deterioration of the sense of smell or hyposmia reduces the quality of life of a person, he ceases to feel various odors. The question of how to improve the sense of smell of the nose becomes paramount for those who are faced with such a violation. For this, a complex of therapeutic measures is used, the action of which is aimed at restoring the functioning of nasal receptors.

Olfactory dysfunction can be congenital or acquired. There are ways to restore the sense of smell, even if a person lost it several years ago. For this, traditional medicine, medicines, special gymnastics are used.

Help of traditional medicine

If the loss or partial loss of odor perception is caused by the formation of mechanical obstacles in the nasal cavity or swelling of the mucous membrane, then alternative medicine recipes will help restore the sense of smell. In addition, they will help get rid of the concomitant runny nose and clear the sinuses. With folk remedies, you can bury your nose and rinse it, do inhalations and compresses.

• 1 tsp salt, sea or ordinary;
• 5 drops of iodine;
• 300 ml of boiled and cooled water.

The solution is prepared as follows: thoroughly stir the salt in hot water until completely dissolved, then add iodine. For rinsing, one nostril is closed with a finger, and the solution is drawn in the other. Then the manipulation is repeated with the other nostril. Thanks to this procedure, the sinuses are cleared of mucus.

To eliminate swelling and inflammation of the nasal mucosa, which interferes with the normal sense of smell, it is recommended to instill drops of celandine. Ready-made tincture of herbs can be purchased at any pharmacy. Recommended dosage: 2 drops in each nostril for 2 weeks. Return normal sense of smell will help inhalation with essential oils. They have a good effect to eliminate the signs of anosmia.

In 400 ml of boiling water pour 15 drops of oil extract of mint, eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon balm. You can add 30 ml of lemon juice and 40 g of chamomile herb. Boil the liquid for 5 minutes. Then go directly to the inhalation procedure. The head is lowered over the container with the solution and covered with a dense cloth. You need to breathe steam for 5-7 minutes. The course of treatment is 15 procedures.

A propolis-based compress will help improve the scent. This beekeeping product helps to destroy pathogenic bacteria and relieve signs of inflammation. To prepare it you will need:

• 50 g butter;
• 3 tsp vegetable oil;
• 15 drops of propolis tincture.

Cotton turundas are well wetted in a medicinal liquid and inserted into the nasal passages for 15-20 minutes. The procedure is repeated 3 times a day.

Folk remedies are effective in worsening the sense of smell

Medicines

The use of drug therapy to eliminate olfactory disorders is carried out under the supervision of a physician. The specialist must find out the causes of such dysfunction and, in accordance with this, prescribe drug therapy. When the loss of smell was the result of exposure to the allergen on the body, antihistamines are prescribed. These include Loratadin, Nasonex, Telfast, Suprastin, Flixonase, Edem.

Also, immunocorrective agents are prescribed to help avoid relapse (Imudon, Echinacea, Likopid, Kagocel). To eliminate the inflammatory process caused by an allergic reaction, anti-inflammatory drugs containing corticosteroids are used - Fludrocortisone, Hydrocortisone, Prednisolone, Dexamethasone.

Restoring the sense of smell will not do without the use of topical agents that are buried in the nose. Their effect is based on the vasoconstrictor and disinfecting action:

• Galazolin.
• Tramazolin.
• Nazol
• Nafazolin.

Treatment with such drugs should not last more than 1 week, as they are addictive, as a result of which their effectiveness is lost. Before using vasoconstrictors, it is recommended to clear the nasal passages of mucus. For this purpose, saline solutions are used, which can be purchased at a pharmacy: Aqualor, Aquamaris, Spleen, Marimer, Humer.

Facial massage and gymnastics

Performing gymnastics for the face and massage helps to improve blood circulation in the nose. The gradual return of the sense of smell occurs due to the normalization of blood circulation in this place. To speed up this process, it is recommended to combine massage and gymnastics at the same time.

Special gymnastics includes the following exercises:

• Through the nose, with the mouth closed, slowly take 5 breaths and exhalations.
• Alternating rapid inhalation and exhalation with a frequency of 10 seconds. The exercise is like sniffing. After 30 seconds of relaxation, the exercise is repeated. It is recommended to perform 5 sets of 3 times.
• Press on the tip of the nose with one finger and at the same time protrude the lower lip.
• It is easy to press your finger on the bridge of your nose and at the same time move your eyebrows as much as possible. The exercise is performed 10 times.

Important! When performing these exercises, all muscles, except for the muscles in the nasolabial zone, should be relaxed.

Massage can improve your sense of smell

Preventive measures

Since the main cause of a decrease or loss of smell is chronic diseases of the nose, in order to prevent a violation of the sense of smell, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

• timely treat diseases of the nose that cause prolonged swelling of the mucous membrane;
• with chronic rhinitis, regularly clean the nasal passages;
• strong unpleasant odors should be avoided;
• avoid contact with an allergen that can provoke nasal congestion;
• strengthen immunity through proper diet and vitamin intake;
• regular wet cleaning of the premises;
• use of protective masks when working with toxic or chemical substances;
• minimize the risk of injury to the nose.
• quit smoking.

To improve the sense of smell, it is important to consume vitamins with a high content of zinc. Its deficiency causes hyposmia. Zinc is found in foods such as pumpkin, sunflower, or sesame seeds, egg yolk, wholemeal wheat flour. To preserve the sense of smell, you should not abuse foods that provoke an increased formation of mucus in the nose. Its accumulation interferes with the perception of odors.

2. Development of the sense of smell

2. Development of the sense of smell

Before developing your sense of smell, you need to do two things that are very important for your further learning: quit smoking (if you smoke, of course) and stop eating meat, fish and other products of “cadaverous” animal origin (unless, of course, you are already a vegetarian).

These two actions alone will sharpen your sense of smell in six months. If everyone knows enough about the benefits of life without cigarettes, then I can tell a little about vegetarianism from my own experience. Personally, it helped me in the following: frequent colds ended, and a rare acute respiratory disease (once a year or two) passes very quickly without medication. Feeling of vivacity and lightness, increased endurance, normalized weight, general sensitivity became aggravated, it became easier to engage in extrasensory viewing of clients.

The question may arise: “What is the relationship between clairvoyance and the development of smell?” The fact is that each energy has not only color, sound, but also a smell. Over time, when you have already trained your perception of the subtle world to a large extent, you will be surprised to find that fear, for example, has its own smell, not very pleasant. Joy has a fragrance, love smells of beautiful overflows of delicate sweet smells, and anger stinks like a corpse ... You will begin to distinguish between ethereal smells, and this will greatly help you in reading information using clairvoyance.

So, the exercises themselves.

Exercise 1. Let's smell it!

Take a break from your affairs for a minute and concentrate your attention on the nose. What smells do you smell in your room? (Or where the desire to do this exercise overtook you.) Try to determine their source, to separate one flavor from another.

This exercise will rebuild your energy flows to the nose, you will activate them, because the directed attention to the nose brings energy and blood there, opens the subtle channels.

Exercise 2. Dog

Now smell something that you never even thought of smelling before. For example, a music center, a carpet, wallpaper, money, your cell phone... Such objects have weaker smells, therefore, in order to feel them, you need to strain your sense of smell more, and therefore develop it.

It is especially interesting to conduct this exercise at a party. There are new scents out there. Smells like someone else's life. And by smell, by the way, you can understand a lot about people. Pay attention to how the “life” of one person and another smells, how the character and manners of behavior correlate with the smells that live in their homes. You will discover a lot of interesting features of the life of different people, as well as the relationship of smells and life circumstances.

Many of you know such a direction of alternative medicine as aromatherapy. It is now so popular that it can be called traditional. Essential oils are a kind of energy concentrated in the smell of certain properties. And now we will take up the initial acquaintance with this very powerful means of healing (the word “etheric” itself means energetic. Ether is the energy of the subtle plane).

Exercise 3. Smell research

Now I want to send you to the store for smells. Buy a wide variety of essential oils, but don't read their meanings. Do this: try each of the smells you bought to form your own opinion. Record in your Magician's Diary what associations you have when you smell certain essential oils. Associations and sensations in the body - keep track of all your internal changes when in contact with oils.

And only then compare your perception with the standard descriptions of oils - you will be surprised, but much will coincide with what is written in aromatherapy manuals.

Keep oils for yourself for different occasions. Once again I advise you - check everything yourself. Do you remember all the scents of the oils you bought? Sometimes you will want to smell or spray this or that aroma around you; do not run after books with their descriptions, just trust yourself, your intuition. Your body knows what smell, what energy you need at the moment. Believe me, the choice of your body is ideal for you. No professor or academician will be able to optimally select the right oil for you at this very moment. Only on your own you can choose for yourself what you need now.

After an in-depth acquaintance with the smells of the physical plane, we proceed directly to the astral, subtle forms of aromas.

Exercise 4. I came up with a smell

And, as always, we develop our imagination. As you like: close or leave your eyes open. Imagine any object exuding fragrance. Remember all the sensations that you had when you actually smelled it, all the associations that this smell evoked in you. Practice this on several imaginary objects.

And now a more complicated option: imagine the aroma at once, without an object. Let's say that before your inner eye is blackness and nothing else, and at the same time you feel some kind of smell.

As if you went into a dark room and smelled something. Act in this direction.

This exercise will prepare you for the scents of energies and will also develop the area of ​​your brain that is responsible for perceiving very subtle scents. And we train first on imaginary objects.

Having gained some experience in this matter, go directly to the real smells of energies.

Exercise 5. Sniffing the Astral

This exercise will teach you to distinguish already ethereal smells of the subtle plane, the world of energies. You can do it anywhere, at any time. Concentrate your attention on your nose (during concentration, a cloud of energy gathers around what you are concentrating on - in this case, the nose). Hold your attention for as long as you can, and after a while you will smell the subtle scent of energy.

Also try to smell your emotions and feelings. Especially when they are strong. Just imagine, for starters, what they could smell like.

Smells are food for our soul. Even yogis attach great importance to breathing, because together with the air we inhale prana into ourselves - the energy of life. Therefore, it is desirable to be in nature as often as possible, among the living air and life-giving esters of plants. Then you will energize your soul and improve your health.

In order for the perception of smells, and the subtle world in general, to be a simple matter for you, you must clean your energy channels. For this, it is good to use the Prana Breathing exercise (I took this exercise from pranayama yoga and simplified it a bit).

Exercise 6. Prana breathing

It is desirable to perform this exercise in nature, since it is there that there is a lot of energy that supports life. But if it is not possible to often visit nature, you can do it at home, but in no case should you exercise when there are unpleasant technical or other harmful smells around you.

Sit or lie down - your body should be relaxed and your emotional state calm. Pinch one nostril with the pad of your thumb, and rest your index and middle fingers on the point between the eyebrows. Close your eyes and imagine that you are in a space of golden shimmering energy - it is around you, you are swimming in it, like in the ocean. Now inhale slowly through the left (open) nostril, imagining the golden prana entering you through the right nostril. The duration of the breath is as long and slow as you like.

After inhaling, hold your breath for as long as you can (again, until you are comfortable). While holding your breath, imagine how the prana you have absorbed passes inside you along the central energy column down to the solar plexus. Watch as the golden hot stream of energy flows down the throat, down the spine and stops in the stomach, concentrating into a ball. Fix the ball in your mind.

Then exhale slowly, releasing countless rays of golden light from the ball in all directions throughout your body. This radiation will pass through the finest channels of prana in your body and bring the dirty energy out through the pores of the skin.

If you have any health problems, while exhaling, direct the golden light from the ball to the organ that needs it, and you will see how prana pushes dirty energy out of it and heals it.

Do as many inhale-hold-exhale cycles as you want at one time.

It is good to perform this exercise in the morning and in the evening before going to bed, when you are lying in bed.

With the help of this exercise, I once cured my stomach, and in general - many acute pains instantly disappear from such a seemingly simple pranic breathing.

Over time, you will smell the sweet, honey-like smell of prana, and as you begin to collect it into a ball in the solar plexus, you will feel a real heat in your stomach. As you radiate energy from the ball (as you exhale), you will feel warm all over your body, and when you have cleared the prana channels enough, you will begin to sweat more intensely during this task.

Development Another order, or the universal law of the universe for all entities without exception, is the development from simple to complex through love and creation. There are two states that determine our position - this is development and degradation, the third is not given. As soon as we

Lesson 7. Development of the sense of smell (the world of smells - shifting attention to the Smell) Before you start sharpening your sense of smell, you need to do two things that are very important for your further development: quit smoking (if, of course, you smoke) and stop eating meat, fish and the like. cadaveric products

1. Development of touch Touch is not only the ability to feel touch to something with your hands, but also with your whole body. But we will start, of course, with our hands. In the case of clairvoyance and extrasensory perception, the developed sensitivity of the hands, both energetic and physical, helps in such

3. Development of hearing Developed hearing is also quite an important component of the general physical and mental formation of the magician. The world is made up of sounds. It was created by the first sound, remember, as the Bible said: "... In the beginning was the Word, and the word was God." Therefore, the words and sounds in

4. Development of Taste It would seem that taste has nothing to do with magic at all. However, no. It is not that simple. Along with food, we receive various kinds of information. Probably, everyone at least once in their life felt the difference between homemade food and "dining room". Why is that? Everything is simple.

5. Development of vision Vision is perhaps one of the main functions of the magician, which has received the most attention. Vision is directly related to clairvoyance. Before you start working on seeing energies, you must, of course, physically strengthen your eyes. To do this, eat more

The sense of smell It is activated when the concentration of the subtle earth element increases. The strong smell of some substance just speaks of the high activity of the subtle element of earth in it. By understanding the smells of various products, you can identify them.

You will find a list of them at the bottom of the page.

There are many reasons to improve your sense of smell. Thus, the sense of smell is closely related to the sense of taste. Have you ever tried food with a pinched nose? The sense of smell also allows you to determine the aroma of wine, coffee, beer and even tea. With age, the sense of smell weakens, plus there are various disorders of smell that may require treatment. Take steps to improve and maintain your sense of smell.

Steps

Useful actions

Pay more attention to familiar smells. It is generally accepted that the muscles should be in good shape, but the same applies to our feelings. The more you use your sense of smell, the more accurate this sense works! Learn to describe smells. You can even keep a smell diary! As an added exercise, blindfold your eyes and ask a relative or friend to hold various foods and things to your nose to train you to recognize smells.

Do nose exercises. In addition to mindfulness of everyday smells, you can also go further and come up with a workout regimen. First, pick your four favorite scents like fresh coffee, bananas, shampoo, and blue cheese. Take a minute every day to sniff each of these foods individually to stimulate the receptors in your nose. Repeat the procedure 4-6 times a day.

Last year, British resident Joy Milne became world famous for her "supernatural powers". She proved to scientists that she can smell Parkinson's disease. A few years ago, her husband died from this disease. 20 years, eaten side by side with a sick person, forced Mrs. Milne to literally train her sense of smell.

Smell change

When the wife of our heroine was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he was 45 years old. The woman immediately felt the change in his body odor. It is likely that Joy would never need this knowledge again if she had not volunteered for a charity that helps patients with this ailment. Quite by chance, in a conversation with one of the biologists in the laboratory, Mrs. Milne mentioned that she was very familiar with the smell of Parkinson's disease. Then, within the walls of a medical institution, her memory transferred her to those times when her husband was still alive. Biologists became interested in the amazing abilities of the lady and decided to conduct an experiment.

T-shirt experiment

The researchers gave the woman a sniff of 12 T-shirts, half of which belonged to people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The remaining six samples belonged to healthy people. Ms. Milne correctly identified 11 out of 12 owners, and this was a good result. What was the surprise of scientists when they learned that six months later one of the healthy volunteers was also diagnosed with this disease. It turns out that the patient's body odor changes at the initial stage of the disease, even before obvious symptoms are detected. But this circumstance indicates another important point: our heroine showed a 100% result during the tests.

Animals are better at sniffing out diseases

The ability of the British to identify the disease by smell is by no means unique. Many members of the animal community know how to do this. Scientists have long trained dogs and rats to sniff out cancer and diabetes. However, the news of the woman's abilities quickly spread throughout the scientific community. The researchers began to discuss and find out what it is: a clear anomaly or a common skill that everyone can learn if they wish? As a result, scientific minds came to the conclusion that Joy Milne did not have any superpowers. At one time, she drew attention to characteristic changes, but the brain of most of us prefers to block depressing information.

Let's be honest, when it comes to sniffing out diseases, rats and dogs, which have more olfactory abilities, are much better at this task than humans. Many animals rely on scent as an important tool in their struggle to survive or help their fellows. Nature has endowed humans with other sensory abilities. We can clearly see the world around us through the organs of vision, so we do not need a keen sense of smell to detect potential danger.

Why can't we smell our own home?

Just because we don't need to smell as much as animals do doesn't mean we can't smell subtle odors. It’s just that, unlike sight and hearing, we don’t notice how often we use our nose. Among us there are those who overreact to fragrances, as well as those who are deprived of this ability at all. In most cases, we use the ability to sniff in practice only when we are in real danger. For example, we can easily determine that the milk is sour, and there is a gas leak in the apartment. We need this skill from the point of view of practical application. In other cases, when nothing threatens personal safety, we leave the olfactory possibilities unattended and accept the aroma of a loved one or our own home on an unconscious level.

When does the increase in smell occur?

Strengthening of the sense of smell is noted only when some obvious changes occur. For example, in the case of Mrs. Milne, when she realized that her husband was sick with something. But she paid attention to it, and you may not notice it. Of course, because you are not in direct danger, but the changes can rather be classified as implicit.

As part of her research, psychology professor Alexandra Horowitz entered a class of novice perfumers, where she had to learn to identify different smells without any cues (including visual ones). Gaining new experience, the researcher realized how many opportunities we miss in everyday life: “When people notice things that happen to them on an unconscious level, they will understand how much richer their sensations will become. Never before in 40 years of my conscious life have I noticed how rich in smells the urban world and the surrounding nature are. And now that all these scents have blown my nose, I'm a little discouraged."

Smell is the least understood and studied sense

In our defense, we say: it is difficult to pay attention to what we are not able to describe in words. Briton Joy Milne also could not give an exact definition of the smell of Parkinson's disease. The sense of smell is already the least understood and developed sense of all that are given to a person, and even words that could describe the experience are not enough. In most languages ​​of the world, the vocabulary has a limited number of terms that characterize smells. We evaluate fragrances according to a simple criterion: like or dislike. If we want to describe the smell, we compare it with a phenomenon known to the interlocutor. For example: it smells like a pine cone. Unfortunately, if there are specific definitions for shades and colors in the dictionary, then there are no separate terms for smells.

Professionals in their field

Some people, by the nature of their work, must have a subtle sense of smell. This applies to sommeliers, chefs or perfumers. It seems that a good vocabulary, the ability to express their own feelings and an innate ability to perceive allows people in these professions to feel what other people miss. All of them differ from ordinary people in that they can discover something amazing, and also describe it in words. But since there are no universal terms for smells, it means that each sommelier or perfumer works within his own specific set of terms. This means that other people, if desired, can develop the ability to perceive.

How to develop olfactory abilities?

Start describing smells using as many words as possible. Compare the scent to a place in the past or a specific object in your life. And then, over time, you will be able to more easily identify this smell. Focusing on a smell can really change how you experience it. For each person, this perception is individual, it depends on a combination of genes and circumstances. For example, a chemical called androstenone (a porcine sex hormone) is currently being widely studied. Some people find this scent foul-smelling and intensely unpleasant, others don't smell it at all, and still others perceive it as sweet or vanilla. It is noteworthy that after a series of sniffing trainings, those people who initially did not perceive androstenone were able to distinguish its aroma.

conclusions

It is not yet clear how much potential we are leaving untapped. Even scientists cannot agree on the limits of the human nose. There is a theory that people can detect up to a trillion different scents, and there is a refutation of this theory. So far, only one thing is clear to us: the more efforts we make in training our sense of smell, the brighter we will perceive the world around us. Each thing has its own smell, but we are too lazy to identify it, unless it directly threatens our personal safety.

How to restore the sense of smell? There are various options for overcoming this deviation. The treatment process will depend on the cause of the disease. In most cases, it will be possible to achieve a positive result on your own at home, using effective folk remedies, but consultation with your doctor is required.

The reasons for the loss of smell can be different. In humans, the mucous membrane covering the nasal septum may swell. This is due to the defeat of the body with an acute respiratory viral infection. Other factors:

• sinusitis;
• bacterial rhinitis;
• allergic rhinitis;
• deviated nasal septum;
• nasal polyps.

Anosmia is sometimes caused by negative changes in the mucous membrane, provided that the olfactory cilia are immersed in the secret.

Violations appear with the destruction of the neuroepithelium responsible for the sense of smell. This is due to the progression of acute infections of a viral nature. Other factors are associated with the inhalation of chemicals that have a toxic effect.

In the absence of smell in some patients, the disease can be triggered by a cranial injury, in which there is a fracture of the very base of the cranial fossa (in front). The causes are tumors of a different nature, neurosurgical manipulations, the use of neurotoxic drugs, congenital diseases, for example, Kallmann's syndrome.

The violation is often provoked by damage to the receptors that are located in the organs responsible for smell, in the pathways. This change is a complication of many diseases. The problem is associated with poisoning with toxic substances. These include: nicotine, morphine, atropine.

Deviation can acquire a stable form. It is called hyposmia. Such a transformation is caused by nasal polyps, tumors of a malignant or benign nature, and a deviated nasal septum.

During the diagnosis, it is possible to establish the factors that provoke the problem:

1. The olfactory pathways are not sufficiently developed.
2. Due to bruises, blows, due to a fall on the occipital region of the head, as a result of which the bulbs and olfactory pathways are destroyed.
3. Inflammatory processes affecting the sinuses of the ethmoid bone.
4. Inflammation associated with the soft adjacent cerebral surface, surrounding areas.
5. Tumors are median, other volumetric formations.
6. Smoking.
7. Negative transformations associated with the aging process of the body.
8. Exposure to toxins (meth acrylate, cadmium, acrylate).
9. Parkinson's disease.
10. Dementia with Lewy bodies.
11. Alzheimer's disease.

If you need to return a normal sense of smell after a runny nose, it is enough to turn to traditional medicine recipes that have been tested and give positive results. At home, they do a special exercise, which is associated with variable relaxation and tension of the nasal wings.

Performing such a manipulation, you must strictly adhere to the established methodology. The tension time should not exceed the relaxation period. Manipulation is performed during the day, several times are enough. Exercise is done every day until there is a noticeable improvement and the normal state is restored.

Parallel treatment of colds, loss of smell with a runny nose and restoration of the sense of smell can be carried out by washing.

For the procedure of washing out mucus from the sinuses, along with the infection, salt water is used.

To prepare a solution, it is necessary to dilute 1 tsp in 200 ml of boiled water. sea ​​salt. You can use table salt. During the manipulation, it is necessary to close one of the nostrils with a finger, and slowly draw in salt water with the other. The procedure is carried out carefully, without haste. This therapy is ideal for patients in childhood, it effectively copes with the lack of smell. A few drops of iodine are added to 200 ml of the solution.

It will be possible to restore normal sense of smell thanks to the use of essential oil. It is necessary to pour water into an enameled container (200 ml will be needed), then it must be boiled. 3 tablespoons are added to the resulting liquid. freshly squeezed lemon juice and 5 drops of essential oil. For these purposes, use lemon balm, mint or lavender oil. The resulting therapeutic composition is ready for inhalation.

Above the container, you need to lower your head and inhale the steam through your nose. A positive result can be achieved by performing the procedure within 2-3 days. So the patient not only gets rid of the problem that has arisen, but also treats rhinitis. Inhalations should not be stopped as soon as the condition improves. Be sure to carry out additional 1-2 manipulations to consolidate the effect.

If there is no sense of smell, aroma lamps should be used. They need to be combined with various essential oils. Suitable oils are lavender, orange, mint, rosemary, lemon balm, tangerine. Oils that evaporate can be easily inhaled, so the action happens at a rapid pace.

Before starting a therapeutic effect, you need to consult a doctor. Some essential oils can trigger allergies in people.

You can perfectly restore your sense of smell and get rid of progressive rhinitis with freshly squeezed lemon juice or cyclamen. It is allowed to use the tool in several ways. Juice should be instilled with a pipette 4 times a day. Another option is to draw in the juice through the nostrils. It is necessary to be treated every day without passes. The therapeutic course is 2-3 days.

With a cold, menthol oil is characterized by a high degree of effectiveness. It is instilled into each of the nasal passages. It is possible to significantly increase the level of effectiveness and accelerate the onset of positive changes due to the lubrication of the outer side of the nose.

In practice, a high benefit from the treatment of rhinitis with propolis has been proven. It is easy to make an ointment for lubricating the nasal passages from it at home. For this you need:

• propolis (1 tsp);
• butter (3 tsp);
• olive oil (3 tsp).

These ingredients are placed in a convenient container and thoroughly mixed in a water bath until a homogeneous consistency of the composition is achieved. It is permissible to use cotton swabs for restorative purposes. They are dipped in ointment and put into the nasal cavity. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes. Such a therapeutic event should be carried out 2 times a day.

If the sense of smell is lost, the patient will be able to return it at no extra cost. You will need sugar beet juice and natural honey. Freshly squeezed beetroot juice is diluted with a small amount of liquid honey, the components are thoroughly mixed.

The composition is used for instillation into the nasal cavity. It is necessary to be treated until a significant improvement in the condition occurs. To achieve the effect as soon as possible, the number of procedures is increased to 5. If necessary, you can use cotton pads or small pieces of cotton, which, together with the product, are placed in the nostrils for 10-15 minutes.

After a runny nose, fresh celandine is often used for restorative purposes, from which juice is squeezed. It must be instilled in both nostrils, a few drops. The time interval between procedures can be 2 hours.

Garlic juice will help get rid of anosmia. It has a positive effect when there is a loss of smell with a cold. Juice must be diluted in water. For this, 10 servings of water are taken for 1 serving of juice. Cotton swabs are impregnated with the composition. They are injected into each of the nasal passages for 15 minutes. The number of procedures is 2-3 per day. To feel the smell again and overcome rhinitis allows the bactericidal action of garlic.

Whether a decrease in smell has occurred, a person will be able to check on his own. To do this, you need to inhale the aroma of any soap. If there are no problems, then the person feels it well. If there is no smell, then it cannot be felt. The development of hypoxia is evidenced by the inability to smell the vinegar smell of varying degrees of strength.

If there are any suspicions, you need to consult a doctor who can provide the necessary assistance in a timely manner, preventing the development of a deterioration in the condition. Correct diagnosis of the causes of negative changes is important for patients at any age. The method and features of therapy will depend on this.

In some cases, it is possible to cope with the deviation with folk remedies. A good recipe is a mixture of carefully washed river sand and table salt. The ingredients are taken in the same amount. The resulting mass is laid out in a pan, then the container is placed on the stove.

First, the mixture is dried, then its temperature is brought to 50°C. After that, you need to pour the composition into a specially prepared fabric bag, which is then tied.
