Focus on healing and take it a day at a time. About 70-80% of cases as mild/asymptomatic and can be treated at home. Trust that everything will be ok.

"SMELL TRAINING: COVID damages our olfactory
nerves - the wiring between the nose and the brain. The good news is that these nerves repair themselves and smell training can help speed up the process. Twice a day, we prepare 3-4 essential oils and spend 20 seconds mindfully breathing in each scent, focusing on the memory of the scent.
