loss of smell -any txment ideas?

[Guest guest]

Pat,

 

 

 

As far as I know, primary role in senses of taste and smell belongs to

svadhisthana and muladhara chacrams. Smell is also tightly related to ajna

chacram. It seems that because of sinus infection nerve ending in the nose of

your patient were blocked and this was the reason of no-smelling.

 

 

 

To restore the normal activity of nerve endings, it is necessary to " clean "

them. For that I would suggest to activate (actually restore) the natural flow

of energy in the channels which connect svadhisthana, muladhara and ajna. They

are Urinary Bladder, Large Intestine, and Governing Vessel. These channels are

working in cooperation with Spleen and Kidney channels. By the way, does your

patient have problems in urogenital sphere?

 

 

 

I would say that Urinary Bladder, and Governing Vessel are pushing energy to

nose. Through other channels energy is pooled to nose and tongue while

breathing-in and then brings information about smell and taste to correspondent

centers when breathing-out.

 

 

 

So, I think that when you restore the natural flow of energy in the mentioned

above channels, at least some part of smell and taste senses should come back.

 

 

 

Please take into account that I did not talk about stimulating or inhibiting of

channels.

 

Best regards,

Mikhail.

Any ideas on this case:

 

A client came in for shoulder/neck pain due to stress and 2 whiplash

tramas (5 and 20yrs ago). However his greater concern was loss of

smell. 3 years ago he had a horrible sinus infection in which he loss

much of his sense of smell and consequently his sense of taste. This

has caused such a great loss of joy in his life - food is tasteless,

he used to be the cook in his family, he can't smell the flowers in

his garden.

 

He can smell bitter, acrid sents and they may linger in his nostrils

for days. After one acupuncture sessions he was suprised to be able to

smell popcorn. Obviously his olfactory nerve has been damaged but

that he has some smell gives him hope.

 

An Idea: The 'nose " in a perfume business is educated and trained to

recognize sents and their qualities. Perhap - could his nose be

retrained? Any ideas or experience treating olafactory loss would be

appreciated.

 

Thanks so much - Pat

Hi Pat,

Whenever a patient comes in complaining of lingering effects from a past

illness I generally treat for a Shao Yang disharmony the first week or so

before moving to the specific problem. Lingering symptoms means that the

pathogen si stuck half interoir and half exterior, even if there are no

classic symptoms of Shao yang. Xiao Chai Hu Tang has worked wonders for me.

Good Luck, Jasmine
