Clotho (/ËkloÊÎ¸oÊ/; Greek: ÎºÎ»ÏÎ¸Ï) is part of the Three Fates or Moirai who spin (Clotho), draw out (Lachesis) and cut (Atropos) the thread of Life in ancient Greek mythology. Her Roman equivalent is Nona. Clotho was responsible for spinning the thread of human life.
If sinusitis, the common cold or upper respiratory infections are causing loss of smell and taste, try cayenne pepper. Its active component capsaicin helps reduce nasal congestion. It also stimulates saliva production, which improves taste.
A common cause of permanent loss of smell is a head injury, as may occur in a car accident. Head injury can damage or destroy fibers of the olfactory nerves (the pair of cranial nerves that connect smell receptors to the brain) where they pass through the roof of the nasal cavity.
