Sorry you’re sick Hitsuzen, being sick sucks big time. I can deal with stitches or broken bones, but when I’m sick I’m a baby. I was sick for a couple weeks not long ago, and I loved having medicated snuffs to try to get up my nose (I don’t know if you’re plugged up or not). It seemed to help clear me out. I mean, it said medicated on the tin so I just convinced myself it was making me feel better 
@markstinson @SeanOCDPx So I have been totally clogged up. This has been hell. Using snus to get my nicotine, but it’s still not the same as taking a pinch B-) (I think that officially makes me a snuffer, if it wasn’t already official). Anyhoo, I finally decided I had nothing to lose, so I broke out something I’ve been rationing… the last dregs of my Dholakia Medicated no10 samples from @Manit_Joshi and took the smallest pinch, hoping to avoid rebound congestion. It opened me up like the jaws of life, at which point I quickly shoved a large pinch of Toque Coltsfoot up my nose. My nerves are settled, my headache is calming down, and my throat is less scratchy meaning I can breathe without coughing again. Was it the snuff? The world may never know. Only thing I know is I’m buying more. In my belief, truly medicated without the menthol. Although, to Dholakias credit, it’s been more than long enough now and still no rebound congestion. Maybe the trick is smaller pinches… who would have known?
That’s awesome. I’m glad you are feeling better. When I read, “it opened me up like the jaws of life,” I had to stop myself from laughing out loud and waking everyone up.

I had a terrible cold last week. All clogged up, headache, sore throat, deep cough. I had to stay in bed. I found that small pinches of Fichtennadel helped me breath again and pretty fast the headache vanished.
SM Blue is tops for beating down flu and head colds. It doesn’t solve the problem completely but it certainly helps.
I remember a few colds where I couldn’t even generate enough wind to take snuff. I’m not sure what the fix for that is!
No fun being sick, I can attest to Dholakia medicated that snuff works.I want some a soon as it hits the shelf. only problem it just one snuff, And I don’t need any other snuffs. Hopefully if someone is placing an order they can add a 50g in for me.
Coincidentally. I woke up with a head cold this morning. First one I’be had since I went full time on snuff. And yes, I carried on snuffing; and yes, I noticed how my staples smelled slightly different to usual. I don’t know what else to say, except it has confirmed to me the importance of taking good care of my nose!
Well there certainly has been a rash of colds happening all of a sudden. I’ve been under the weather with one the last couple of days but thankfully it hasn’t been too bad in the sinuses. My menthols have been getting a lot more attention then they’ve been used to.
Last year I dated a girl with 3 young kids. I have never been so friggin sick, the relationship only lasted about 4 months. I think I was sick about 3 of those. I rarely get sick, but it was rough. I even got a horrible sinus infection… I would jam tobacco up my nose until I could breath… I only use menthol if I cant smell anything since I cant stand them it gives me a good idea where Im at. But I feel tobacco has the ability to slow down a virus or infection. I read years ago in a US army survival manual you can eat a cigarette worth of tobacco to fight a stomach virus… I can not confirm if its true, or if it just makes you barf.
I have not been sick lately. Hope you feel better soon.
@coreymillia if I recall correctly, eating a cigarette was a way to kill worms rather than a virus.
being sick definitely messes with one’s ability to smell snuff properly> given that, i still snuff when having a head cold, for sure. But snuff becomes medicinal at that point.
I like camphorated snuffs for this, and like how it keeps the rhinitis going. I believe it helps to flush the virus out but even if not true I do feel relief from doing this…
