* Anosmia
* Parosmia
* Dysgeusia
* Ageusia

Anosmia refers to a total loss of sense of smell. Anosmia and parosmia are both common symptoms of COVID-19, along with dysgeusia (a distorted sense of taste) and ageusia (a total loss of sense of taste). Parosmia [pahr-OZE-mee-ah] is a change in the normal perception of odours, such as when the smell of something familiar is distorted, or when something that normally smells pleasant now smells foul.

Instructions:
1. Choose two times each day that you will sit quietly to do your scent training. It may be helpful to do the sessions when you are a bit hungry, such as before breakfast and before dinner.
2. Choose a quiet space: Find a distraction-free area for your sessions, and whenever possible, do your scent training there.
3. Inhale one oil gently for 10–20 seconds, focusing on recalling the memory of the scent. Think about its taste, its scent, and bring up any and all memories you have associated with it.
4. Repeat this for each of the four scents. 
5. Write notes about your training after each session, and record any observations you have. You may keep this journal like a chart, or it may be more effective to record your memories, your reflections and your sensations and keep these details private. 
6. Continue the training for at least 3 months. Once you are able to smell the essential oils in Course 1, you are ready to begin Course 2, and then, when you are able to smell those, you can move on to Course 3.

The essential oils used in the courses are specifically selected to activate critical pathways between your nose and your brain. Therefore, it is important to complete all three courses in order to fully regain the scope of your sense of smell.

Here are the essential oils in the Course 1 kit and what pathways their components activate:

* Lemon (Citrus × limon (L.) Osbeck) essential oil is dominated by (+)-limonene, which has a fresh, pleasant, orange-like smell, and has been described as member of the “fruity” category in Henning's classification [13], and a member of the “Citrus” category in Roudnitska's classification [10].

* Clove Bud (Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M.Perry) essential oil, characterized by a spicy odour, is dominated by the aromatic aldehyde eugenol, which binds to A1 [8], V3 [15] and M8 [16] TRP channels. This essential oil belongs to the “spice” category in Henning's [13] and Roudnitska's [10] classifications.

* Rose absolute (Rosa damascena) represents the "flowery" category in the classic 4-scent protocol—along with lemon, clove, and eucalyptus—designed to stimulate neural pathways through daily, focused, and deep inhalation.

* Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill) essential oil is dominated by the monoterpenic oxide 1,8-cineole, which has a characteristic penetrating fresh smell and binds to M8 [19], A1 [19] and V3 [9] TRP channels. This essential oil belongs to the “resinous/ethereal” category in Henning's classification [13].
