Gross but wonderul...

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)

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.
