Yes, I believe so. I haven’t smelled anything for almost 2 years and bought one of the Smell Training Kits. It didn’t work for me, it just gave me a headache from trying to smell things I can’t.

Sort of….I’m no expert, but I tried smelling different smells in various ways. I went by what my Primary said and what I read online.

I did purchase an essential oil kit that I wasn’t wild about. I used some of the oils for my therapy. I also utilized actual food like oranges, bananas, garlic, etc. I would smell it with my eyes closed, imagining what it was.

I can’t say it was what helped me recover, but it didn’t hurt. I understand how frustrating it may be if you smell nothing to try this treatment.

Most of the time I think I could smell a little, though not much. (Although my tests say I didn’t.)

I ate a piece of cake at a family gathering and told my niece it was Lemon cake with icing. My mom had cooked it. Later I discovered it was Vanilla cake! I felt pretty silly. There were plenty of times that I ate food thinking it was something other than what it was.
