🌿 Smart Relief Patches & Post-COVID Smell/Taste Recovery
Smart Relief Patches may help calm inflammation through CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system. Since lingering inflammation is thought to be a key reason why some people lose smell and taste after COVID-19, using the patches behind the ear may support recovery.
