Seasonal illnesses like the flu, colds, and now the coronavirus are accompanied by irritating symptoms, including nasal congestion and difficulty breathing.
Some people get various nasal remedies, others look for home remedies from the brain.
Let’s talk about ways to get rid of stuffy nose when we don’t have the necessary medicines at hand.
Publika.az “Detaly” publication wrote about it.
America’s healthy lifestyle magazine “Prevention” has published a useful video showing 2 genius methods for the simplicity of getting rid of nasal congestion, which bothers us especially at night.
In addition, Dr. Dr. Ellen Mendel and women’s health expert Bella from TikTok share their thoughts.
1. Use your language
This method will not require special efforts from you. Just press the tip of the tongue to the upper part of the palate as hard as possible, put the soft part of your second finger between your eyebrows and apply pressure. Do this for 20 seconds and you will soon feel how much easier it is to breathe. You will also feel a slight movement in the back of the throat during the release of the tongue.
2. Throw your head back
Cover the nostrils with your fingers, draw full air through your mouth into your lungs, and throw your head back as if you want to look at a crack in the ceiling.
Hold your breath and stay in this position as long as possible. Finally, exhale through your mouth, slowly return your head to the previous position. According to Dr. Ellen Mendel, such movements lead to the fact that the blocked nose contacts the brain, which sends reflexes to the nasal cavity and from there to the nose, freeing it from the congestion.
3. Finger massage
Place the soft part of the thumbs on the inside of the eyebrows so that they are in line with the bridge of the nose. Apply pressure and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat this action until the swelling goes away. You also place the soft parts of the second and middle fingers near the nose. Squeeze with middle fingers and hold for 30 seconds. Then repeat the same with the second finger. After repeating such actions several times, you will feel lightness in the nasal area.
4. Breathing movement
An expert on women’s health from TikTok proposed such a method to ease breathing in a video he published. First, Bella recommends using a spray to rinse the nasal pockets, which softens thick mucus and eases cold and flu symptoms. At this time, he warns pregnant women not to use this method.
In the video, the expert shows how to perform breathing exercises: sit down, close your mouth, inhale and exhale through your nose, cover your nose with your fingers, stand still for 10 seconds, shake your head from side to side and take your hands from your face. Repeat these actions several times with intervals.
Bella explains the effect of these movements to Bella: “Putting pressure on it creates nitric oxide gas in the nasal cavity.” It also “increases blood flow to our respiratory system and makes breathing easier. It also “enhances blood circulation in the body.”
The expert also draws attention to the fact that nitrous oxide has antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiviral effects.
Be strong!
