Loss of smell (Anosmia/Hyposmia) due to SARS-CoV2 infection & Its Homoeopathic Indications

Abstract

There has been some renewed interest in current situations in disorders of olfaction. Decreased sense of smell can lead to significant impairment of quality of life, including taste disturbance and loss of pleasure from eating with resulting changes in weight and difficulty in avoiding health risks such as spoiled food or leaking natural gas. When validated smell identification or threshold tests are used, its reveal quite a high prevalence of hyposmia and anosmia in certain groups, especially the age group between 20 to 40 years old. As Homoeopaths, we are most likely to see the symptoms similarities in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, and this now appears to be due more to SARS Cov2 Infection.
