In yesterday's blog,
"How Do You Spell Relief? N-E-T-I--P-O-T", I spoke of the wonderful results from an inexpensive, ancient Auyrvedic remedy for sinus headaches and sinusitis and cold preventative -
the neti pot - which was recently featured on
Oprah with Dr. Oz.
With cooler weather coming up, I recommend following it up with
nose oil drops
to soothe inflamed sinus pathways (like the way hand cream soothes
chapped hands). Nasya oil is great because of the healing properties of
the oil and herbs but you can also use either cold pressed organic almond or extra virgin olive oils to
substitute.
To use nasya oil, lay down and tilt your head way back to see behind you. Close one nostril with a finger and drop 2 drops oil into the other
nostril. Breathe deeply ta few times hrough your open nostril to permeate deeply; repeat with other nostril. Sit there for a
couple minutes, breathing in through your nose and out through your
mouth. Notice breathing is easier due to the relief of soothed nasal membranes.
Nasya oil is
safe enough for kids. Some
parents like Dr. John Douillard heat
it gently on the stove and use a dropper into ears as a preventative
for ear infections. I've only used it to soothe my nasal membranes -
especially before bed to breathe easier when sinuses are stuffy. Let me
tell you, it works like a charm.
