Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'd recommend Herbal Snuff. It is a combination of powders that are snorted up the nose. You should be able to find this in the files if you want to make it or get more info on it. Also we sell it here with the instructions on how to use it.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 A Neti Pot looks like an Alladin's Lamp. You tilt your head to the side and pour the solution into the nasal cavity and let it drip out of the other nostril. It sounds silly at first, but it works very well.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I always use essential pepermint oil in tea to clear a stuffy nose. Strong stuff, 2-3 drops should be plenty. debbie - lowcarbgirl2005 herbal remedies Thursday, September 07, 2006 8:49 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - stuffy nose... rotap48 <rotap48 > wrote: anybody has good metod of unclogging stuffy nose? have seasonal allergies, trying to avoid traditional pills, but need to use nose drops...How to avoid this & replace nose drops with...?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I was addicted to Afrin and continuous usage only causes more problems. I cured my continuous stuffy nose by using a NeilMed bottle with a saline solution to wash out all the gunk then immediately take Doc's 'Snuff' several times a day as needed. I found that removal of the excess mucus (breeding ground for the pathogens) allows the Snuff to get right to the membranes. I made my own saline solution by adding a 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, RealSalt, or canning salt to a quart of distilled water (do not use any table salt or iodized sea salt). Using the NeilMed bottle allowed me to control the pressure required to flush out the sinus cavities. Living in the mountains and it being dry I use a nose spray atomizer (used Afrin) bottle with my homemade CS (colloidal silver) solution. It hydrates and kills the fungal aspect on contact. I also have sleep apnea and have to use a CPAP machine at night and absolutely need a clear nose. I use my CS in the CPAP machines heated reservoir which was re-infecting me on a daily basis.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have had severe sinus issues for several years. Irrigation is the best thing for stuffy noses and it can keep the nasty mucus from building up, harboring bacteria, and giving you a whopping sinus infection. My doctor recommended ENT Sol. It is a super salty saline with no preservatives. It is not a prescription but it is kept behind the pharmacy counter and you will have to ask for it. Some pharmacies have to order it for you. You may want to just use it when your symptoms are at their worst and the rest of the time try something like Simply Saline. Welcome to ragweed season!
