Anyone have any experience with essential oil or other methods of getting back your smell?

There is a protocol in the article on getting scent back. Helped me.

Olfactory Training by Dr. Zara Patel, assistant professor of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery at Stanford University.

-4 (30ml/1 oz) amber glass jars
-watercolor paper
-rose, clove, eucalyptus & lemon essential oils

(The above are all available on Amazon.)

Cut the heavy watercolor paper to fit the bottom of each jar. Insert the cut paper to line the bottom of the jars. Place 5 drops of one essential oil into the first jar. Label jar & lid and cover so you know what's in the jar; seal tightly. Repeat with remaining 3 essential oils and jars.

2 times a day, take small mindful sniffs of each scent (around 3 sniffs of each), being curious about the smell, and conjuring up in your mind what that scent smells like. Continue to the next.

Meant to be done for around 4 months.

Wish I had any useful advice. I am curious what you are experiencing: you don't smell anything in your environment? Like totally lost your sense of smell? This is so sad for me to hear 😓
