Clearing Your Nose

If you have been smelling/shopping for essential oils and you want to clear your nose, Kathi Keville, author of Aromatherapy for Dummies, recommends that you:

(1) Walk outside and deeply breath fresh air.

(2) Sniffing coffee beans or hovering over a cup of coffee.

(3) Take several breaths through a wool scarf or cap. There is something about the smell of wool that changes your smell perceptions.

(4) Placing a few grains of salt on the tip of your tongue.

The most common of these tips is sniffing the coffee beans. I normally bring ground coffee in a tupperware for my students to use. I think coffee beans would probably last longer.
