Appreciating the Power of Smell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Due to the recent pandemic, we have all come to better appreciate our noses. This is because many people lost their ability to smell. In fact, statistics show about \u00a026%<\/a> of people who had the infection for longer than four weeks experienced an absence of olfactory function. Of the overall population in 2021, it was estimated that about 3%<\/a> suffer from anosmia<\/a>, the complete loss of smell, or hyposomia (minimal smell).<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there is hope for those who have olfaction dysfunction. In the latest episode of the Essential Oil Revolution<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Hana Tisserand joins us to discuss the topic of olfactory training,<\/a> a technique used to recover smell. She also highlights the important work that she is doing at the Tisserand Institute, a global leader in online science-based essential oils education.<\/p>\n

In this episode<\/a>, you will come to appreciate Hana\u2019s incredible ability to synthesize complex studies and provide detailed and scientific information in a manner that is concise, accurate, comprehensive, and understandable.<\/p>\n
