I mixed some WoS Extra Menthol with some Gekachelter Virginie and it makes things flow promptly. I also added some red pepper to a bit of 6 Photo Natural and that will really open the flood gates. Low hanging solids get the finger, so to speak
If you donāt have the patience to use a neti pot and let gravity do the work for you, go to your local pharmacy and get a NeilMed Sinus Rinse squeeze bottle. Squeezing the bottle will give you a pressurized flow up one nostril and out the other.
You can also purchase it (or a neti pot) online at:Ā http://www.neilmed.com/usa/index.php
BTW: Donāt pay through the nose (so to speak) for those pre-measured salt packets! Just buy yourself a pound of seasalt at the supermarket. After 2 or 3 tries you should be able to figure out the correct amount of salt to put into your pot/bottle. (I use approx. 1/2 tsp. per 8 oz.)
Sutra netiĀ IS FAIRLY ADVANCED YOGAĀ and one shouldnāt attempt it until afterĀ you have masteredĀ ALL of your gag reflexes.
Donāt even think about Sutra neti until after you have become proficient at Jala neti!
You also need a tube especially designed to be used for this purpose.
Iāve been taking an occasional dose of pseudophedrine HCL to clear my head and I canāt breath thru my nostrils anymore. I love the medicated snuffs but they clog me up even worse!. Iām sure lots of people here would frown on that, but I donāt think sniffing up loads of tobacco can be any healthier. At 6ā4 and 210lbs, whenever Iām in mixed company and am discussing my food diet(Iāve struggled since I was in my mid 20ās to keep my weight within a tolerable range), I am always tickled to hear someone chastise me for what I eat, particularly when they are 100 or more pounds overweight and they commence to explain to me what a healthy diet consists of.
@jimmyb 210lbs (or 15 stone for the British audience) is pretty good for 6ā4. I wish I could get back to that, and Iām only 6ā1ā.
Pseudephedrine is not good stuff in my experience - makes the blood pressure spike and the temperament pretty spiky too. Possibly not surprising given itās one of the base ingredients for meth!
I thought Brits weighed themselves by the Kilogram. I guess the stone would be more forgiving if you were approaching the top of the stone weight.
Another option is to start munching on chili peppers as a snack food. Just make sure that they arenāt dudsā¦
Pipecleaners!! :o3
Had some chinese take out the other day. The hot mustard sauce I poured on my egg-roll cleared the sinuses instantly. Woah!
