COVID-19-Linked Loss of Smell and Taste- Case study and Discussion
Dr. Tianjun Wang • November 1, 2020
Increasing evidence indicates that loss of smell and taste are key symptoms
of COVID-19. This paper discusses the aetiology, pathology and
mechanism of loss of smell and taste from the perspective of traditional
Chinese medicine (TCM). The primary Chinese medicine patterns of dampcold
and damp-heat with toxin are described, along with an explanation
of the main zang-fu organs involved (the Lungs and Spleen), and how the
mind and brain may be involved. A confirmed COVID-19 case in which
the patient lost their sense of smell and taste is also reported, including
symptoms, pattern identification and treatment with Chinese herbal
medicine and acupressure.

The handbook is a condensed version of the basic scalp acupuncture (SA) knowledge and skills. It covers all the SA stimulation areas, location and indication, SA needling techniques and cautions, SA treatment plan for sample diseases and symptoms, etc. There are in total 44 A5 pages with all the colourful illustrations. It is easy to carry and suitable for day-to-day practice. This is a subtitle for your new post
Four days, from Friday to Monday, with Monday being the Queen's Birthday holiday. The trainees are mainly from all over Australia, with a small number from Malaysia and Singapore. It is conceivable that they have overcome many difficulties and spent time and money to study. Some of the intended applicants gave up because the epidemic has not yet completely ended. As a lecturer, I can only do my best to impart what I know, clinical perception, experience, etc. to the students without reservation, and guide the students in location, needling, techniques, etc. The on-site demonstration, consultation, and treatment are as detailed, comprehensive, and practical as possible. All the students persisted until the end of the course at 5:00 pm on the last day, and none of them left early. Even at the last minute, they were reluctant to give up, applauded and thanked, and said that they were looking forward to seeing me again in soon future. A participant feedback me today, "We really want to thank you for teaching us scalp acupuncture and your experience. I have learned a lot from you. When I come back to Singapore, I have used your method to treat some depression. stroke and pain patients, the effect is really extraordinary. The effect is really improved. I will do more research and study in this area, and I will notify you first if there is any new discovery.”This is a subtitle for your new post
