This sampler pack contains six samples of essential oils meant to be sniffed to train your nose to recognize scents. Sniffing aromas from several different scent families has shown promise in helping people with anosmia and parosmia.
Each day, you sniff each scent for a few minutes. Take your time. Linger over each scent, whether you can actually perceive it or not. Do this twice a day for 6 weeks. After that time, switch to Nose Training Two. These two samplers can also be used to help train your nose to recognize scents from different aroma families.
