A member asked:
I cannot taste nor can i smell due to the nerves of such senses being severed from my brain. would i still benefit from smells of lavender and such?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very likely.: The benefits of aromatherapy are due partly to the psychological connections that we have with smells. If you are unable to smell, then aromatherapy such as with lavender is not likely to be very helpful.
