Lotte: nothing is more memorable than scent. A specific smell can immediately evoke deep emotional memories.
But what if you suddenly lose your sense of smell? This happened to me when I tested positive for COVID-19 over a year ago. My sense of smell and taste have been completely distorted ever since. Everything stinks. This is not only physically unpleasant because the foul odors are nauseating, but it is also emotionally difficult. Over the past year, I haven't smelled scents that I associate with happy emotions: the sea on vacation, the fireworks during New Year's Eve, and my grandmother's perfume. My emotions became flatter, as if I was partially numb.
I tried all the remedies I found online, but nothing helped.
Until recently, I came across articles recommending a daily ginger shot. There was no scientific evidence to support this, but there were many positive results worldwide. So I followed the advice and have been taking ginger shots for a few weeks now. And to my great surprise, there has indeed been some improvement in my taste and smell. I suddenly smelled the plastic of the Albert Heijn bag, the playdough and crayons of my nanny children, and the cheese fondue during Sinterklaas. And as the icing on the cake, I smelled the Christmas tree again during Christmas, and the marzipan of the Christmas bread. I got my Christmas spirit back. It was as if the numbness partially wore off and everything became a bit more colorful.
The ginger shots have been bright spots lately, and every improvement is a bonus! The shots will certainly be my best friend for the foreseeable future.
Paulie's Pourer is the perfect accessory to take a delicious ginger shot every day and enjoy the benefits it can offer, such as improving your taste and smell, as described in our customer Lotte's testimonial.
