Smell training, however, is much more involved than the one-off burnt orange trick, explains Javer. Focusing on familiar scents is also similar to a therapy called s mell training, where practitioners will use several different strong scents to help re-develop the senses. The strong smell that comes from attempting to crisp an orange directly on the stove may also be strong enough for those with weakened or recovering senses to pick up, says Dalton. The premise isn’t completely without merit. One Facebook post, for example, tells skeptics to “keep trying until it works.” It is likely that as they slowly recover their ability to taste, this recipe appears to work, Pamela Dalton, a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, told Today. The loss of taste and smell being a temporary side effect for the majority may give some insight into why this “hack” gained traction. More than 82 per cent of patients regain their sense of taste within a month, a study published in the American Journal of Otolaryngology found. Approximately 38.2 of patients who have had COVID-19 experience some form of “ gustatory dysfunction,” according to a meta-review of studies from 13 countries worldwide encompassing 8438 patients.
