olfactory rehabilitation

Olfactory rehabilitation is a specialized process aimed at restoring or improving the sense of smell after it has been diminished or lost due to injury, illness, or aging. It typically involves smell training, where individuals regularly expose themselves to a variety of familiar scents to stimulate and retrain the olfactory nerves. This practice helps strengthen neural pathways, encouraging recovery of smell function over time. The process can aid in enhancing quality of life, safety, and enjoyment of odors. It’s a gradual, collaborative effort guided by healthcare professionals for optimal results.
