Smell training is a method used to help retrain the nerves in the nose as they slowly regrow after being damaged. It involves using aromatherapy and essential oils which are slowly inhaled through the nose. This is done two times a day. It is a simple and safe therapy for smell disorders, including anosmia and parosmia.

Finding the right scents for you
The four suggested scents to start with are:
-
lemon
-
clove
-
rose
-
eucalyptus
These particular scents were chosen because they represent smells
from different aroma families:
citrus, spicy, floral and camphoraceous.
However, you can use any scents that you prefer. Try to pick smells from different aroma families.
For me, parosmia doesn't agree with some of the suggested scents. My personal smell training kit includes the four suggested scents along with
vanilla and lavender.
