I agree with the hat trick. It has cut down episodes.

I had come down with Covid that gave me an absolute terrible time with sinus congestion. There was so much sinus pressure and there was absolutely no air getting through. I could actually pump my nostrils and a squeak.
I would notice that I would get an occasional couple of hours where I can breathe. At first, I couldn't understand what it was that was opening up my breathing. I had been trying everything; oregano nasal spray, grapefruit seed extract nasal spray, saline rinse, the tomato tea (which only would work for a few minutes once things got really bad), vinegar, etc. I tried it all and none would help for more than a few minutes.
What I finally realized was that as soon as I get sick, ever since the pandemic, I pull out lysine. I heard it was a fantastic way to kill off viruses. So whether it is a cold or flu or Covid, I knew it was something good to have on standby. I had been taking it with a bunch of other supplements, but something told me to just take a single dose before I go to bed. Sure enough within about 20 minutes, I could breathe! For hours! I thought it could not be true. So the next morning I tried it again. I could breathe again. I was wondering why this lysine wan't more spoken about for covid and other respiratory illnesses.
I took 1000 MG 3x times a day of Pure Encapsulation brand because they are capsules and very clean. So it gets right in the system. I would do capsules or powder or granules before I did tablets just because how quickly it gets into the system. Your body has to break the tablet down so that slows down delivery.
I don't know if this will work for any stuffy nose, but if you have a viral infection going on, It may be worth a try.

I used the acv drink (i use it for nausea all the time - ice cold, sipping it...it works great! also, my father lost 20 pounds within two months just drinking it about five or six times a day - but he overdid everything...).
It gave "some" relief, but I was in a panic attack from not being able to breathe. Then i used the tomato tea....shiver!!! but i drank most of it and it also helped...but when i went to lie down, i was stuffed up again within a few minutes!
Then I used the combinatin of baking soda, salt and warm water in a neti pot (small tea pots work, too).
And now I finally can breathe. But it has been only about fifteen minutes. Longest yet. Also, i used the entire cup of warm water....
I have all of the recipes copied, each on a post-it sheet, lined up across the edge of my stove vent-top....if this one lets me down, I am on to the next one..
At least I have something to keep my panic attacks back. I really begin to panic because i already have asthma and a heart condition...so when i panic, it starts it all up... And i get very frightened. So if i have to go down the line, i will. I am willing to stay up all night and 'remedy' myself.
If this one is the 'winner' I will certainly return with my verdict..
I thank god for this site. He can give me relief directly, but he also uses people....and I think he did just that this time.
Thank you!.

1) Stopped eating dairy.
2) Take at least 2000 mg Omega 3 oil daily.
3) Take turmeric supplements daily (amount varies.)
4) Strong multi-vitamin and mineral daily.
5) Chinese medicine: Jade Screen and Xanthium during my worst allergy season (spring)
6) Acupuncture: 2 times weekly during spring, once every two weeks the rest of the year.
7) Homeopathic tablets for times when I have brief allergic symptoms: Allium cepa for runny nose, Euphrasia officinalis for itchy eyes. I use all the above and it has eliminated my allergies except for one or two bad days in the spring. As a side benefit, stopping dairy also cleared up the joint pain I was having in my fingers.

Check your dental health. My mom had heavy, severe sinus congestion for months and months, actually it went on for a year and a half before doctors found out what was the problem: she had an infected tooth under her gum that was seeping into her sinus area. Once the tooth infection was treated, her sinuses cleared in the space of a week.

About 4 Oz. Of saline-warm-filtered water is poured through each nostril followed by pranayam (preferably Bhastrika pranayam) for at least 5 minutes. This is like blowing into the bellows to dry up the leftover water moisture in the ENT canal.
The fast and deep breathing is done for drying the ENT and not cleansing the nose etc. As pointed out by another commentator. * If this drying of ENT is not done one may develop Pneumonia as water may seep through to the lungs causing infection.
The problem happens when half knowledge is passed on by these so called specialists leading to more danger to the patient than when he first started out.

I developed a terrible cold over the weekend. Sore throat, drainage, etc. As the cold cleared up I developed a terrible sinus headache due to congestions behind my left eye. I am very prone to these type of headaches. I was already doing cayenne & ACV for the sore throat, but my head was still killing. My mom has used a neti pot in the past and suggested that I try that. Not having a neti pot on hand, I tried nasal irrigation using a bulb syringe. My headache was gone immediately. Will definitely be doing this every time I feel a sinus headache coming on.
I used a mixture of 1/4 ts salt in 2 c luke warm water. Fill the syringe as completely as you can. Lean slightly forward, insert the tip of the syringe approx. 1 in into nostril, and angle tip towards outside of eye. Squeeze syringe to flush saline mixture. Allow the saline mixture to drain back out (may drain through other nostril or back of throat). Repeat twice on each side.
