I guess I'm one of those people. These days I notice that my sense of smell wasn't as strong as it was in the past. I could not no longer detect heavy odor and it came to my surprise that on one particular day, I couldn't even detect the cooking gas leakage until my sister highlighted to me. I guess not only is this bad but it might be dangerous in the long run. At the moment, I'm not going to seek medical advice as my worst fear is having to undergo operation. If anybody has any clue or advice, I would appreciate it. So far, my search in the internet did not really offer any lead. What I need maybe is herbal treatment or cure.

 

thanks in advance guys.

I think you are more likely to benefit from a zinc supplement than from any herb.

In any event, you should ask your doctor because anosmia may be a symptom of some underlying problem that needs to be sorted out.

After discussing with my family members and based on feedback that I have from friends, I think it is best that I seek medical advice. It's not really cheap here for a mere 15 minutes consultation fee. And thanks also to John. Cheers

Arteriosclerosis can cause this problem as part of the aging process, so it is best to have the exact cause determined. I remember having to drive a considerable distance with a car full of people and a dog who had a terrible, foul-smelling eye infection, and only my mother-in-law was able to hold it on her lap because she "didn't notice what everyone else was complaining about."
