Regaining sense of smell

Loss of sense of smell, a condition known as anosmia, is a common symptom of COVID-19 and also can be caused by aging, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, diabetes, certain viral illnesses and many neurological conditions
   
The olfactory system is highly responsive to training; in one study, a 12-week smell training session significantly increased the sensitivity to detect odors in those with anosmia 

The basis for smell training is that using a neural pathway, such as that used by your olfactory nerve cells, reinforces and strengthens it
   
To try it, all you need is four different fragrances, such as rose, lemon, clove and eucalyptus essential oils
   
Actively sniff each scent for about 20 seconds a couple of times a day, such as immediately after waking up and before going to bed; be sure focus your concentration on the scent while you’re sniffing, trying to recall your experience of the scent
