Olfactory therapy

Olfactory therapy involves using smell-based exercises to help improve the sense of smell or aid recovery after damage. Typically, it includes repeatedly smelling specific strong scents, like rose, lemon, or eucalyptus, to stimulate and reset the olfactory system. This therapy can support individuals with smell loss due to injury, illness, or aging, and may also help with conditions like depression or anxiety by engaging the brain’s smell centers. It's a non-invasive approach that leverages the brain's plasticity, promoting sensory recovery through targeted exposure to different odors.
