So a week ago, I posted that I was suffering with parosmia. Parosmia is the receptors in the brain growing back but in a different way from before so that you forget what stuff smells like. Stuff like bacon, beef, pork etc. smells like swamp. So. I bought a bunch of essential oils and started huffing that shit. "Sir, you're going to have to leave my store" is such an annoying phrase! Anyway, I got about 20 bottles of clinky clanky juice and take that crap to my house. I start out opening each bottle and inhaling. I feel like I could speed this up somehow. I fill a spray bottle with some stank ass rubbing alcohol (the worst smell of them all!) and a capfull of essential oil. I start spritzing the mixture on my shirt so that the fumes can waft up in tendrils up to my nostrils. Swamp, mixed with rose petals, cool.
I do this every 30 or so minutes for a couple days, concentrating on rose petals. Son of a monkey, it worked! I no longer smell swamp when I smell alcohol! And get this; My roommate just popped up some popcorn. How do I know besides the distinctive sound? From the distinctive smell of course!!!! Oh my GOD it smells amazing!! Not swampy at all!
Essential oils are as good as gold. Glad you can smell nice smells again.
Apparently, it doesn't matter what the smell is, as long as it is pleasant.
