Improve Smell👃 and Taste👅 Post COVID-19

Improve Smell👃 and Taste👅 Post COVID-19 Possible mechanisms for loss of smell and taste post COVID-19 1. SARS-CoV-2 impacts the Sustentacular Cells of the nasal epithelium which breakdown the olfactory epithelium reducing the thickness of the epithelium. The olfactory epithelium is invaded by immune cells 2. The respiratory epithelium can also replace the olfactory epithelium following the inflammatory response 3. Vascular-vasoconstriction is also possible mechanism 4. Inflammation, in particular high IL-6 Decreased appetite and weight loss. Eating stimulates pleasure centers of the brain and if not stimulated there is increased risk for depression. SMELL is Cranial Nerve 1(olfactory nerve) TASTE is Cranial Nerve VII(facial nerve)-provides anterior 2/3 of the tongue, CN IX (glossopharyngeal nerve)-sensation to the posterior 1/3 of tongue, Cranial Nerve X-Vagus nerve provides fibers to the epiglottis region. Cascade effect of lack of stimulation: **Decrease immune response in the GI and spleen **Decreased production of HCL and digestive enzymes and decrease motility leading to constipation. Which can lead to worsening food sensitivities, bloating and constipation. Treatment options 1. Olfactory training: Lemon, eucalyptus, rose, cloves, peppermint etc. Essential oils. Coffee, anise, peanut butter. 1 min at least 3 times per day 2. Taste training with sour or bitter tastes 3. Deep diaphragmatic breathing 4. Chewing every mouth full of food and singing out loud-drives CN V which will activate CN VII, CN IX and CN X Basic target areas of nutritional therapy. 1. Restore mucosal epithelial integrity-Glutamine, NAC, Perrilla and astragalus-decrease TH2 dominance. 2. Improve nerve function-Lion’s mane mushroom, melatonin-BDNF 3. Support vasculature-vinpocetine, gingko, butcher’s broom 4. Reduce inflammation-baicalin down regulates IL-6, improves mucosal tissue 5. Inhibit fibrosis-glutathione for ROS and epithelial repair Credit Dr. Yanuck and https://cogenceimmunology.com/ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/... https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32786... https://hms.harvard.edu/news/how-covi...
