Smell Training Kits: recommended by CKOS

CKOS recommends smell training as the evidence-based way to support recovery from smell loss. Scent Recover supplies the kits used by the CKOS community, built on Professor Hummel’s classical olfactory training protocol and refined by CKOS founder Chrissi Kelly to incorporate mindfulness and patient experience 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.
