Sense of smell and taste returned after 3.5 years

Congratulations!
Please tell me more. I lost my sense of smell and taste in March. I had actually lost it a year prior but got it back after 10 months. But lost it again when I got sick again. I’ve tried the olfactory training (smelling essential oils) but I’ve got nothing this time around. I’m also taking supplements but nothing. If you have any suggestions, anything you’ve done that you can share, I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much!

@lilal Hello! Sorry to hear you lost you senses again. I tried everything you mentioned. Since mine returned, one thing that seems to have helped is sitting in a sauna with peppermint oil heated over the rocks. Seems that improved my smell/taste senses more after they returned. I hope that helps. I tried everything for years and had zero luck. I believe whatever the mechanism was that caused me to lose my taste/smell corrected itself over time.
