Smell Retraining Kit

Olfactory dysfunction has many causes, and spans several levels of loss-of-smell perception.
Research [1997 to date] has shown that regular smell training/olfactory training [OT] is effective for many olfactory disorders. OT assists and supports the neuroplasticity of the olfactory system.
OT is a safe procedure and appears to be particularly useful in patients who start OT within 12 months after the onset of the disorder. OT is the first successful therapy regime in patients with loss of smell after infections, such as Covid 19.

The smell training kits consist of 4 nasal inhalers, which are used 2-3 x daily, in 3-month cycles.
Each inhaler is used for 10-20 seconds at a time, which constitutes one smell training session.
Each inhaler contains specific natural essential oil synergies in the 4 basic olfactory training
pathways: Floral, Spice, Herbal, Citrus. The formulations are based on scientific research, with the
objective being to regenerate neural pathways in the olfactory system, for those experiencing various
smell-disturbance conditions.

Instructions for use: Unscrew the inhaler cap, close one nostril with a finger, and hold the open end of the inner tube just below the other nostril. With mouth closed, inhale calmly and gently, using short ‘bunny’ sniffs for 10 -20 seconds. Exhale and repeat the procedure on the opposite nostril. Do this with each of the 4 inhalers in turn, for each session. Do not insert the inhaler into the nostril. Inhalers require replacing every 3 months, or sooner if required, until symptoms improve. Formulations may be adjusted every 3 months, relative to smell training progress.

Orders: Kits are individually made on order for optimal potency.

Lead time: 1-3 weeks.
