What does smell training do?  

Smell training is useful for loss of smell. It is a process of trying to improve or restore your sense of smell.  

During olfactory training, the olfactory nerves are stimulated. This encourages these nerves to heal. You immediately train the brain to recognize odors (correctly) again.  

Please note: smell training does not guarantee that the sense of smell will (partially) return.  

Why are there different smell training sets?  

Dos Medical's smell training contains several sets. This is because smell training must be continued for at least 24 weeks. After 12 weeks you switch from set 1 to set 2, which contains four new scents. If further training is required, other sets are available.  

In the instructions for use you can read which steps a smell training consists of and how to carry it out.

Who benefits from smell training?  

You can use smell training for both a disturbed sense of smell and a complete loss of smell. Research shows that smell training can be especially effective in patients with loss of smell due to an upper respiratory infection, loss of smell after a wound to the head or loss of smell due to an unknown cause.  

So smell training is not useful for every cause. Read more about it on the blog page: What is an olfactory disorder?
