Collaboration between Aimée de Mars and Asetys
We are delighted to collaborate with Asetys on our "1,2,3 SMELL – Olfactory Rehabilitation Kit" program, a natural treatment for loss of smell. This collaboration offers the possibility of reimbursement for olfactory rehabilitation kit programs. Indeed, Asetys, as a responsible supplemental health insurance provider, covers expenses related to natural therapies.
Asetys offers a platform dedicated to supplemental health insurance and natural prevention. Their mission is to optimize reimbursements related to health, natural therapies, and wellness practices. The Asetys network brings together practitioners and laboratories throughout France, exclusively reimbursing services and purchases of natural products through the Asetys Nature contract. Accessible to individuals aged 18 to 85 with no medical questionnaire or waiting period, it reimburses up to 50% of expenses incurred for 48 natural therapy disciplines and 12 categories of natural products.
In collaboration with Asetys, we are delighted to present our innovative natural treatment, "1,2,3 SENTEZ – Olfactory Re-education Kit." Discover how this collaboration offers a complete solution thanks to Asetys Nature.

1, 2, 3 SMELL – Olfactory Re-education Kit, a natural treatment for loss of smell and anosmia
Aimée de Mars has developed two olfactory rehabilitation kit programs designed to gradually retrain the sense of smell in cases of loss of smell or anosmia. The protocol to follow: smell one scent per day for six days, to be repeated over a period of six weeks.
Program 1 – SMELL: A gradual approach to recognizing everyday scents, with familiar essences such as Mint, Lemon, Coffee, Rose, Eucalyptus, and Orange Blossom. Use the bottle, breathe deeply, and associate the scent with its corresponding number to stimulate your sense of smell.
Program 2 - DEEPER: For those who wish to deepen olfactory re-education, the second kit offers a selection of six more subtle scents: Coconut, Anise, Lavender, Vanilla, Almond, and Clove.

What is loss of smell or anosmia?
Anosmia, the main symptom of nasal polyposis, is the loss of smell due to cell destruction and impaired transmission of information to the olfactory bulb. According to a study by the CNRS-INSERM (National Institute of Health and Medical Research), 1 in 10 French people suffers from olfactory disorders, reaching an extreme situation where the nose can no longer perceive odors.
In the case of Covid-19 as well, there are forms of anosmia, with manifestations varying depending on the duration and intensity of the infection. Acute Covid infection causes olfactory disturbances in 80% of patients, while in cases of long Covid, the persistence of the loss of smell is around 20%, according to Dr. Georges Dib.
For patients with nasal polyps and loss of smell due to Covid-19, recovery occurs in 90% of cases within one month, but some may experience a slower recovery. Olfactory rehabilitation is recommended, based on research demonstrating that olfactory stimulation helps regenerate olfactory receptor neurons. These rehabilitation programs begin with strong odors and then gradually decrease in intensity.
Two researchers, Professors Hummel and Gurden, demonstrated 10 years ago that stimulating the sense of smell helped to regenerate the neurons of olfactory receptors; it is on the basis of their work that we created olfactory rehabilitation programs.
The effect of essential oils: cognitive enhancement
More recently, a 2023 study published by the University of California also investigated this phenomenon using essential oils: Continuous and prolonged use has a direct effect on cognitive abilities. Participants in this study received six months of nightly inhalation of essential oils while they slept. For two hours each night, an essential oil was diffused in their bedroom. A total of seven different essential oils were used, including rose, orange, and rosemary. Their cognitive abilities increased by 226% compared to the control group.
Not only did their memory improve, but medical examinations also showed positive physical changes in their brains, strengthening a region often weakened with age. The results: improved sleep, enhanced memory, and better concentration for the participants in the test group! The study demonstrates that olfactory enrichment is an effective and non-invasive way to boost our brain health and potentially combat diseases like Alzheimer's.
Olfactory rehabilitation: concentration and relaxation in children.
Olfactory rehabilitation, which has become an essential tool for speech therapists working with children with ADHD or hyperactivity, shows consistent results in improving concentration and promoting relaxation. Children with ADHD, sensitive to sensory stimuli, benefit from olfactory stimulation to modulate their attention span. The olfactory rehabilitation kit, used in conjunction with conventional therapies, offers the relaxing and rebalancing properties of essential oils, promoting calmness, concentration, and cognitive function. Lavender and orange essential oils are associated with tranquility, while peppermint, known to stimulate concentration in adults, and lemon peel essential oil, which stimulates intellectual activity, offer suitable alternatives for young children.
