My best guess is a mix of bad translation and weird concept.
The fact that only Makuhita & Hariyama learn it naturally leads me to suspect it's a reference to sumo salt purification, especially since Makushita is traditionally the lowest rank where salt purification is widely used. There's also a grain of sense for it purifying paralysis, though this not affecting anything else, like Curse or Poison is strange. This ending up translated as smelling salt makes a weird sort of sense, since this IS a salt used by athletes, though that's about the extent of relationship between the two. But then the paralysis cure makes more sense as a smelling salt, though sleep makes more sense than paralysis.
Of course, I don't actually know any Japanese, so have no idea if there's anything to be scraped from the Japanese name.
