This video is excerpted from BBC’s The World’s Most Extraordinary People, a documentary series revealing how rare medical conditions inspire groundbreaking scientific discoveries.
In Treating Parosmia With Smell Training Techniques, learn how smell training can help someone who has lost their sense of smell. Follow Cris Kelly, a person who has experienced a disrupted sense of smell due to parosmia and is using a form of therapy to retrain her olfactory system. The process involves smelling strong scents like lemon, rose, clove, and eucalyptus in a structured way to help the brain reorganize its connections and restore smell. This training shows how neuroplasticity can help retrain the brain after sensory loss. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The World’s Most Extraordinary People, a documentary series revealing how rare medical conditions inspire groundbreaking scientific discoveries.
