I’ve been waiting since 2021 for my sense of smell and taste to come back :(

Apologies if you've already tried this or something similar, it doesn't work for everyone, but I got mine back by using essential oils to retrain [edited as my phone autocorrected to 'restrain'] my olfactory system. After over a year of my food tasting like trash, or like it was off, and a dangerous incident (with a trip to A&E) where my brain fog meant I left an unlit gas oven on all night and couldn't smell it until I'd already got carbon monoxide poisoning (thankfully mild and temporary), I regained my smell and taste in about a week. Here's an article about it, it links to a charity that works in the field of loss of smell : https://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/health-wellbeing/treatments/smell-training-for-anosmia

Edit: if the down votes are because people think this is alternative medicine or woo, it isn't, it's a technique used in conventional medicine clinics. Try reading before you down vote.

Sharon Amos has written about gardening for Saga Magazine and The Guardian, among others. She is the author of Plants for Free and Great Plants for Tough Places.

Sure buddy.

Oh no, someone who writes about gardening!! In a magazine for the elderly!!Look, it was just the first article I could find while I was in the middle of baking, that wasn't an American health and wellbeing website. I'm not American so I don't know those websites and I don't know what they all are. I just wanted to help the person I was replying to. The article links to the charity that has done loads of research into it. Yes I could have found a better link and fucking hell I wish I hadn't bothered even commenting now.

Try linking them instead of some mom-blogger. They are your claims. Source them better.

No. Descriptions are not sexist. Feel free to actually link to any of that very real scientific documentation anytime you like.
