Your sense of smell, or what is known as your olfactory system, plays an incredible role in life. It helps us to enjoy the incredible flavours of food and the amazing array of outdoor aromas in nature. It is also used to help recognise dangers (like smoke or spoiled food), to identify pheromones in people we are attracted to, and it is phenomenal in helping us to connect emotionally to memories and experiences.
Losing it – which is known as anosmia – can be distressing, often affecting the quality of life. Whether caused by a respiratory illness, sinus issues, or neurological damage, essential oils offer a wonderful, science-backed way to support recovery.
All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

Essential oil compounds can stimulate the olfactory system.
Exposure to various smells retrains the olfactory nerve pathways.
Aromatic molecules can bind to olfactory receptors, triggering neural responses that encourage the repair and regeneration of damaged smell pathways.
Stress can impair sensory functions, including smell.
Great oils to use for olfactory repair include rose, lemon, eucalyptus, clove, peppermint and lavender.
Follow an olfactory training protocol over 3-6 months to support repair.
