Overview

OLFACTORY TRAINING What is olfactory training. Olfactory training is a non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatment option for people experiencing olfactory (or smell) dysfunction that can occur after an infection, trauma event, or Parkinson’s disease. Typically, patients expose themselves to 4 different odors twice daily for at least 24 weeks. Each odor is sniffed for at least 20-30 seconds without a break. Each odor should ideally represent a different category of smells, including a fruity or sweet smell (ex, lemon), flowery smell (ex, rose), spicy smell (ex, clove), and resinous smell (ex, eucalyptus).2 Olfactory training can also be done for up to 12 odors, which may demonstrate better symptom improvement.1 It is more effective in younger individuals and those with more severe olfactory dysfunction.   How can olfactory training help alleviate certain long COVID symptoms.
