TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Jul 2026
Olfactory training, also known as smell training, is the practice of regularly sniffing robust aromas to stimulate and rehabilitate the sense of smell. It typically involves exposing oneself to distinct scent categories—such as flowery, fruity, spicy, and resinous—for at least 20 seconds twice daily over several months. This technique is commonly used as a therapeutic intervention for individuals experiencing olfactory dysfunction or loss of smell.
