Comment on Smelling Salts: Are They Dangerous To Use? by Threreed

Hi, Angel Haze:
Smelling salts are ammonia. They smell a little like very strong Windex, but I mean *very* strong.
If you hold it too close to your nose and breathe in too deeply, your head jerks back involuntarily and your sinuses sting.
It’s great.
It makes you wake up if you’re drowsy, because of elevated circulation brought on, I believe, by accelerated heart rate.
Some (the weaker kind) are scented with lemon and, I think, thyme; it adds to the overall effect, but I like the strong straight-ammonia kind.
Mind you, this is not the ammonia used to clean floors. It’s a much purer form, without the detergent in cleaning ammonia. Do not use cleaning ammonia or you will harm yourself.
I hope this helps!

That’s true. If you’ve got any existing blood pressure issues you’d probably want to be careful (not that you shouldn’t anyways). The increased blood pressure comes along with the increased blood circulation and would be temporary. As long as you aren’t using them a couple times an hour all day though, it wouldn’t chronically increase your BP (Unless someone can find something saying otherwise). Just my 2 cents.

It might be prudent to mention that they can cause an elevation in blood pressure. I know you gym guys love ‘em, and more power to you, but the reality is the increased blood pressure can be dangerous for some.

Well, it smells like bleach, because that’s basically what it is. When you inhale it smells terrible and the best way I can describe the reaction is if you were sleeping at night and someone blew up a balloon right next to your head (the jerking you out of your sleep feeling). The reaction I’ve usually gotten when I let someone try it that doesn’t know what it is is that they breathe in too hard and basically choke on the smell. Never actually used it to be woken up though so I can’t give any more specific details on that experience

I’m doing some research for my fantasy book and I’m looking around to see what smelling salts are like, but am only finding vague answers. What does it smell like? What does it feel like once you inhale? My main character is drugged and kidnapped and we were thinking of using smelling salts to rouse him but I need to know what it would be like from his point of view to wake up to that. Any details would be greatly appreciated.

I use them myself and its pretty much the equivalent of smacking yourself across the face (A little easier logistically :))
It’s not going to be any “double your 1RM” magic, but I find it’s a great option especially on the days I’m laggin nehind for whatever reason. Just don’t need to be hitting it every rep. I use it to get started after my warm up or just before big lifts.
