Wow - hurrah for sinus flushing. [livejournal.com profile] extraspecialk just recommended it to me after my TMI post about cold induced bloody noses. Actually my TA at USC also mentioned he heard a thing on NPR about sinus flushing, tried it and it worked.

So I trotted down to Kings Herbs in the valley (@Victory and Sepulveda - I love them), and didn't get a neti pot, but got the nasal flushing syringe they stock. (I think it was called "nasaline")

I whipped up 2 cups of saline and squirted about half a cup through my nose and ZOUNDS!!!!! I can breath through both nostrils for the first time in 2 days.

Hurray for Chinese magic! (even if this might be yoga magic at its roots)

Glad you're feeling better. Sorry the herbs haven't helped yet but keep taking them.

Don't worry, I got the BiYanPian on the way home on Tues. and have been taking it - I know that sometimes it takes a while, and between herbs and sinus flushing I am doing much better.

Oh man, those neti pots are actually pretty awesome once you get used to 'em - I have one for when my allergies start to get bad, it just flushes out whatever's bugging me and I actually feel clear for a little while. Spam can't watch me do it though, thinks it's gross too, and it's no use when I'm really congested, I just end up pouring salt water in my face.
