OlFACTION TRAINING

Why Olfaction Training is so important?
How many times a day do we take the time to consciously smell these scents surrounding us? Fragrances, being very ephemeral, are today very quickly overwhelmed by sound and visual inputs. The sense of smell, ancestrally the first sense, has become the last sense we use.
​The olfactory sense, one of the first senses developed in newborns as an instinctive sense, has been considered as too animal-like and nearly cast off by our society. In our present environment sight prevails over the other senses. Humans have mostly lost their olfactory sense and must relearn to smell. Olfaction is a very important sense in the wellbeing of humans.
To be healthy, we need the balance of each of our senses.
Moreover, strong and unhealthy odors of past centuries have obliged humans to block their noses from the outside world. Indeed, bad odors block the development of the olfactory sense. If we consider the importance of olfaction and its dangers in breathing bad substances, we also should consider the opposite effect. If certain cocktails of molecules are toxic, others have a completely beneficial action on human health.
Olfaction could therefore become a new therapeutic tool in the near future.
To really appreciate the scents of flowers and the curative properties of plants, we must reeducate our olfactory sense.

For the ancient Egyptians, the sense of smell was considered as the most important sense. They believed that the sense of smell and ability to detect odours was the most important of our sensory abilities. They considered the sense of smell far more important than sight or even the ability to think.
Each day, we breathe about 23,040 times and move around 438 cubic feet of air. It takes us about five seconds to breathe — two seconds to inhale and three seconds to exhale — and, in that time, molecules of odour flood through our systems. Inhaling and exhaling, we smell odours. Smells coat us, swirl around us, enter our bodies, emanate from us. We live in a constant wash of them but to benefit of them we need to train our olfactory sense.
