Sinus, Allergy, Breathing Issues...

[higgi]

Snorting saline works great. Also wasabi and or cayenne and a very hot shower are great ways to clear the sinus. Local raw honey is good for your body to recognize local pollen as non dangerous and therefore not over react.

A lot of people get allergies symptoms from dairy products.

I have been doing some nasal irrigation!

Well, not really, just taking a deep breath, tilting my head back, filling up my cavity with the saline solution, pinching my nostrils, putting my head back, waiting for about 20 seconds and then letting ALL the solution and gunk just flow out (how's that for a run on sentence). Repeat then do the other side.

It has been helping really well!

Maybe you should just clip your nose-hairs. Your hairy nostrils are probably the cause of restricted air flow.

Did that last week, I had to use two grocery bags to haul away the hair.

My wife and I have been wanting to switch to soy "milk" for a while... I wonder if this would help?

My mother-in-law told me she read somewhere that too much soy products could increase estrogen levels in men.

A big hairy meskin with a high pitched voice would be a scary thing.

I've been doing this for years; it helps a lot, because it just washes all the allergens away. I used to use a device that attached to a Water Pik (supposedly the pulsing simulates the waving of the cilia in the nose) but nowadays, I just use a plastic squeeze bottle. You can get kits with the bottle at drugstores. Over here, Long's has them.

One thing, after doing this, lean forward (head pointing downward at about 45 degrees) and try to blow all the remaining saline out. Otherwise, next time you're bending down, it might just drip out of your nose. My wife thinks all this is pretty gross, but it really clears the stuff out.
