Getting rid of a stuffed nose

[bo$$]

Alright, so I'm sick. That sucks. One of the worst parts about it though is the stuffed nose.

So anyways, I was just googling around and then I found something that actually somewhat helped and I decided that I should post it here.

Perform the below routine 3 times:

Perform 10 pressures on a cavity at the corner of the nostrils (point 1). You should almost close and open the nostrils when you do the round movement.

Perform 10 pressures on a cavity just below the corner of the eyes near the nose (point 2)

Perform 10 pressures on a cavity just below the ear, behind the earlobe (point 3)

Massage the earlobe 10 times (point 4)

After performing the above 3 times, you should feel immediate relief of your nasal congestion. It is advised to return on the above procedure again in about 10 minutes to make it more permanent or the congestion could return.

Here are the pictures that go along with it, these are all of the points that are refered to in the quote:



So basically it's like you're using a finger to put pressure on each of the spots and just doing a little massage.

Can I ask to what extent did it help? Like was your nose still blocked and stuffy?

Just buy a humidifier or breathe in some steam from a kettle or something.

It made it sorta runny and I just blew my nose and it was all good. It's bound to be a little bit stuffed because I'm still sick but it did help a bit.

I wouldn't buy a humidifier just to help a stuffed nose w/ a cold. also this is just an alternative if the steam doesn't work

for stuffed noses, use a nose spray. dunno their actual names, but if you went into a chemist, he/she would know what one was straight away. they r quite good imo. instead of what u posted, as it probably wont work for everyone, especially if they dont know what they are doing.
