Aromatherapy helps

And the season for potted Hyacinths started for me. 

I have been talking to you guys for a while about a smell I can feel in my nostrils, much like burnt stuff...The car was first to blame, since it was not detailed or replaced since I quit smoking. But it follows me wherever I go, not only while driving.

You all gave me all kind of suggestions, thank you, but the smell I can feel now almost all the time, it only grew heavier.

Honestly, not sure yet if I need to see an ENT doctor or not.

But there is one more thing I need to disclose: while meditating, I added incense to my morning sessions.  What I am using was purchased in India, sandalwood.  Doing some research, it seems as the Indian origins contain the most chemicals. Needless to say I will not be using incense until the Japanese sourced ordered today will arrive.

Meanwhile, only stronger smells can cover what I smell, so my nose is in the newly blooming hyacinth sitting on my desk!  It helps!

My apologies if this seems trivial, but it upsets me more and more.

Here is an article about it, just hoping I am not developing more craziness than I already have!

Apparently I suffer of Phantosmia!!!
