My health
Sabine de Tscharner, 44, perfumer with international company Firmenich
My work is to create fragrances, but as a child I could smell 事実上 nothing. I had continuous sinus 感染s, so my nose was always 封鎖するd.
When I was 13, a doctor recommended 外科 to 訂正する a congenitally 狭くする passage between my sinuses and my nose. I had the 操作／手術 just before 復活祭 and afterwards I remember smelling the 早期に spring flowers for the first time and thinking, ‘I’ve been 行方不明の out!’?
I had always been a creative child, but I couldn’t draw, play music or sing. When my mother told me I now had a good sense of smell, I had this ‘aha!’ moment. At dinner one night, I 宣言するd that I 手配中の，お尋ね者 to be a perfumer ? although, at 14, I didn’t really know what that meant. I just knew I 手配中の，お尋ね者 to create smells: I already dreamed of mixing different 公式文書，認めるs and would wake up and tell my mother, ‘If you 追加する cinnamon to this or that, it would be 利益／興味ing.’ Later I undertook the five-year training to become a ‘nose’.
Taste is intimately connected to smell and like most perfumers I love food and ワイン. But I 避ける spicy foods and red ワイン during the week because they 干渉する with my sense of smell.
逮捕（する） the scent
You can train your brain to recognise and 蓄える／店 different smells. But people 機能（する）／行事 異なって: I have a 広大な／多数の／重要な olfactive memory but a poor auditory one ? tell me something and I forget it すぐに.
I don’t get sinus 感染s now and the 時折の 冷淡な goes away quickly. I have a flu 発射 to 避ける getting bugs passed on by my two young daughters. Chinese doctors use smell to 診断する illness and I certainly know when one of my children doesn’t smell 権利.
I can’t wear scent at work but I 実験 with new fragrances at 週末s. I prefer citrus and green 公式文書，認めるs. I also love the Italian bergamot and ginger scent I created for Liz Earle’s Indulgent Bath & 団体／死体 Collection ? it’s soft, sensual and 静めるing.

Q I am 21 and を煩う extreme facial 紅潮／摘発するing and swelling. I have seen さまざまな doctors and tried different 治療s in vain. Can you help?
A? The underlying problem in such 条件s is chronic inflammation. Naturopathic doctor Nigma Talib (healthydoc.com) recommends:
- An anti-inflammatory diet, 有機の if possible, with oily fish, 有望な-coloured vegetables and fruit, olive oil, ginger and turmeric; drink digestion-上げるing aloe vera juice and use filtered water.
- Food sensitivities may 悪化させる the problem, so do check if the 紅潮／摘発するing is worse after 確かな foods or drinks. (Rosacea is 悪名高くも susceptible to alcohol, for instance.)
- An 不均衡 of gut flora ? the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria ? is ありふれた.
