Problems with Smell
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is our sense of smell?
Smell is part of our chemical sensing system. Our sense of smell is
the ability to detect odors in our environment through our nose,
like the fragrance of flowers or the smell of baking bread. Smell
is also the ability to detect food odors or aromas released in our
mouths when we chew, which then flow from the roof of the throat
region to the nose. Congestion blocks this flow and impacts our
appreciation of the flavor of food.
