Smell therapy

Smell therapy, also known as olfactory training, involves using specific scents to stimulate and enhance the sense of smell. It can help improve odor detection and discrimination, especially after loss due to illness or injury. The process typically includes regularly smelling a set of essential oils or fragrances to retrain the olfactory system. This therapy can promote neural regeneration and improve sensory function by reinforcing neural pathways associated with smell. It is a safe, non-invasive approach often used alongside other treatments for conditions like anosmia or hyposmia.
