Smell Training Kits for the AbScent Community

Scent Recover is where you can now buy smell training kits, recommended to the AbScent community since AbScent closed.

The kits are built on the same evidence base AbScent always used: Professor Hummel’s classical olfactory training protocol, refined by Chrissi Kelly of AbScent and CKOS, incorporating mindfulness and patient feedback into the practice.

What is smell training?
Smell training is the practice of deliberately sniffing four scents, twice a day, for a minimum of four months. It is the only evidence-based intervention for post-viral smell loss and is recommended by the British Rhinological Society.

It works by stimulating the olfactory nerve and supporting the brain’s ability to relearn and recognise scents. It takes time and consistency, but the evidence is clear: it helps.

Which kit?
If you’re new to smell training, start with the Classic Kit: rose, eucalyptus, lemon, and clove. These are the four scents used in Professor Hummel’s original protocol.

If you’ve been training for three months or more, the Relax Kit and Trees Kit give you a new set of scents to continue with, supporting the extended training approach recommended by subsequent research.
