How to
regain sense of smell after Covid
One of the
most common symptoms of Covid 19 is anosmia or potential loss of smell during
the infection. It has been found that some patients are unable to regain the
ability to smell well after covid recovery. This problem takes some bizarre
turn when some patients have false perception like confusing the smell of perfumes with rotten or pungent smell.
At the
moment there is no medication in modern medicine that can help, ‘time’ is the
only cure available.
Looking
through the ayurvedic point of view it has been found that Nasya therapy which
is one among the panchakarmas has been found yielding encouraging results.
Contrary to
popular belief nasya is not a treatment limited to clean the upper
respiratory tract, it is a simple but effective treatment in many neurological
conditions including hemiplegia and facial paralysis. Before the advent of
antivenom treatment in snake bite nasyam had a big role in toxicology too as it
is fast acting due to bypassing the alimentary canal in absorption.
Nasya with
Anu taila, shat bindu or fortified ksheerabala is used for nasya. It is better
to perform the nasay in a clinic or hospital as pre-nasya procedures like oil
massage and sweadana are mandatory.
As an adjuvant
therapy gandoosha can also be done.
