Stuffed up nose:

Shot glass of warm water 1-2 drops of eucalyptus oil

www.sfherb.com or Amazon.com

*Mind you sites advise you not take eucalyptus internally but it is an old time treatment and works. It can be dangerous but 1 -2 drops are fairly safe if you are not allergic for clearing sinuses. DO not do any more than that it does have internal properties but the lovely FDA has its objections and I know if you take to many drops the side effects are ugly so stick to a few drops only.

Ah thank you, I'll be the lab rat. XD

My husband usually does the dusting and vacuuming for me but his new job is over the road trucker so he is not home as much anymore and I have to do it. Oh well I will remember the mask next time and stay out of the storage shed.

Let us know if you start growing things in places you shouldn't

no no you will be fine unless you happen to be allergic to it. I do it often and I have given it to my husband and daughter. Eucalyptus does open you up.

Wasabi and Horseradish can open you up to. Just don't take a big bite

Quote: Yes I was on an inhaler for having bronchitis for 2 months. I found after a few days using it and then quitting it was even harder to breathe. It takes a while for your body to learn to be off it and can be dangerous.


Start drinking Yerba Mate if you don't already and mind you not to boil the tea but hot water steep only.

Porobably would not hurt you to try the chamomile vapors along with eucalyptus.

Also for pollen allergies buy local bee pollen and eat a teaspoon every day for a few months. you allergies should go away. but I advise you do it in the parkinglot of a hospital the first time just in case and have you meds handy. It is an old indian method of treatment, has helped some get rid of their poison oak reactions by eating the leaf of the plant once. it worked for one guy i know. Cant guaruntee it would work for others. But the pollen works for many.

Do a monthly detox as well and you can try Essiac tea. Tastes like crap but it works wonders especially for colon cancer. I do not need theraputic levels so I run it through the coffee pot instead.

Fragrance by other than natural sources ie: essential oils. Is bad for anyone especially those with allergies and athsma. It is in your laundry detergent, soaps, shampoos, lotions, soaps, cosmetic, deoderant, shaving cream, household cleaning products, and air fresheners. I have avoided it for a long time and though I do not have breathing trouble I can wear my wedding ring without reacting ad my acne cleared up. An another not I just went to plant based products period, and Safeway caries a brand called bright Green which is reasonably priced. or you can make your own stuff. Yes I have some recipes.

Does anybody have a cure, even temporary, for a HORRIBLY stuffed up nose? It's to the point that I cannot breathe out of my nose very well. Does the eucalyptus still apply?

 

[member 142084]

Yes the Eucalyptus will help. I don't recommend doing it frequently maybe 1 drop every 8 hours. but you can take it then do a eucalyptus steam when is starts to come back. Vapor rub helps too once it is open, I just rub a tiny bit of Lavender and Eucalyptus on it together. on my chest and under my nose. Never in.

I also recommend the Neti Pot. I headed off a severe case finally since I got one the last cold. It feels awkward but well worth it.
