Five Senses
Our sense of smell is closely linked to our sense of taste, so to lose one can mean to lose the other. Many of you will have suffered from anosmia (loss of smell) due to the COVID-19 virus or other viruses. There was previously little Doctors could do to help this condition, but during the COVID-19 pandemic smell testing emerged as a treatment to help retrain your sense of smell with a way to monitor your progress. It has been widely reported that smell training can be a way to help with anosmia, regularly smelling a set of substances and rating your level of smell for each one over several weeks/months. If you live in the Oxfordshire/Berkshire area or surrounding counties and would like to book an appointment to begin a course of "smell training" I'm here to help you, please get in touch.
Help Adapting

Try smell training.
