Lost sense of smell following diagnosis? Smell carrion? Lost taste following regaining sense of smell? Zou Weilun, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, said that 80% of patients who lose their sense of smell can recover within 3 weeks, but 20% of patients may take half a year to recover. It is recommended that people who have lost their sense of smell can improve by pressing the three major acupoints.
BF.7, BA.5 viruses are prone to delayed loss of smell and taste
According to observations, BF.7 and BA.5 viruses are prone to delayed loss of smell and taste, which is likely to appear 2 to 3 weeks following separation. Zou Weilun shared that following a female patient was diagnosed, her family often complained that the cooking was too salty and difficult to eat, but she didn’t feel it, and it was even more outrageous later. The sense of smell came back but the sense of taste was gone. In the end, the sinuses became inflamed. I might smell the smell of dead rats 24 hours a day. Fortunately, it slowly recovered following a month.
3 major acupuncture points to improve the loss of smell
What to do regarding loss of smell? Zou Weilun explained that people can press Shangxing, Yintang and Bitong points for improvement. Bitong acupoint is located on the outer edge of the nose, at the junction of cartilage. You can press it with your fingers to make the acupoint feel sore and swollen, and even make you want to cry. It can also be used with panacea oil, etc.
The other is the Yintang point between the eyes, and the Shangxing point one inch above the hairline. You can use two fingers to push from Yintang point to Shangxing point to stimulate the smooth point, improve nasal congestion, and relieve sinusitis. Zou Weilun explained that these acupoints are not only for the diagnosis of the new crown. If the weather is cold now, if the general nasal congestion is uncomfortable, you can press it to improve it, and immediately wear a mask to improve the smoothness of nose breathing.
