One of the most frustrating after-effects of COVID-19 is the loss of smell (anosmia) and taste. For some people, this clears up quickly, but for others, it lingers for weeks or even months — affecting appetite, enjoyment of food, and overall well-being.
Research as shown that this is often caused by lingering inflammation in the olfactory system, which disrupts the nerves that carry smell signals to the brain. When the inflammation subsides, smell and taste are more likely to return.
That’s where Smart Relief Patches — designed to help reduce inflammation in the body — may offer support.
🌿 Inflammation & Smart Relief Patches
The plant-based actives in Smart Relief Patches are thought to work through CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system. These receptors help regulate immune activity and calm inflammation in tissues.
By reducing inflammation, Smart Relief Patches may help with:
-
Muscle aches and soreness
-
Joint pain and stiffness
-
Neck and shoulder tension
-
Stress-related headaches and migraines
-
Nerve sensitivity
-
Post-viral recovery
🪄 Simple Routine for Smell & Taste Recovery
Here’s a simple routine some people have tried with Smart Relief Patches to support recovery of smell and taste after illness:
1. Patch Preparation & Placement
-
Cut one Smart Relief Patch into four equal pieces.
-
Place a quarter patch just behind your ear.
-
Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from hair for optimal absorption.
2. Timing & Frequency
-
Keep the quarter patch on for 8–24 hours.
-
Replace with a fresh quarter patch every 24 hours until smell and taste return.
3. Testing Recovery
-
Keep a small bottle of essential oil (such as peppermint, clove, lemon, or eucalyptus) handy.
-
Smell it once or twice a day to check your progress.
-
If you can smell it, you’ll also notice your taste improving — because taste relies heavily on smell.
