What is parosmia, exactly?
Parosmia is a change in the normal perception of odors, like when the smell of something familiar is distorted, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Parosmia can also cause something that normally smells nice to smell bad.

What do you smell when you have parosmia?
It depends. Everyone seems to have a somewhat unique experience, but in many cases, itās not pleasant.
Some people with parosmia will experience the same unpleasant scent for a variety of things (so, lemons andĀ coffeeĀ may both smell like garbage) while others will experience unique scents for different objects.

What causes Parosmia?
More than halfĀ of people who lose their sense of smell due to a virus will go on to have parosmia.
Although the exact reason parosmia occurs is unclear, the prevailing theory is that when the olfactory nerves (which connect your nose toĀ your brain) are damaged by a virus, head injury, the connection between your nose and brain is broken.
When the nerves start to regrow, they may go to a different spot in the brain than before, resulting in a distorted sense of smell.

How is parosmia treated?
Parosmia is typically treated with something known as olfactory training or scent training, which involvesĀ inhaling a particular scentĀ and thinking about what that scentĀ shouldĀ smell like. So, if you were inhaling the scent of lemon, you would try to remember what lemon smells like at the same time.
People who did scent training for six months showed āclinically relevant improvementsā in their ability to accurately smell scents by the end of the trial.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
