Stuffy noses are perhaps one of the most irritating conditions you can suffer from.

They ruin your sleep, are unpleasant (constantly blowing your nose is not office friendly) and can spoil your appetite.

To make matters worse, according to experts, traditional remedies we have relied on for years are now believed to be ineffective.

Many over-the-counter cold and flu medications contain the active ingredient phenylephrine – a decongestant – which is essentially useless according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Luckily, a doctor known for his genius health hacks on TikTok has revealed a foolproof way to unblock your nose β€” without drugs.

A video posted to his TikTok channel, where he has 177,000 followers, shows Dr. Sermed Mezher demonstrating an 'underused' product that he says is 'vital' for relieving breathing difficulties.

Did it take all that out? 🀒🀒 A sinus rinse, often using saline solution, is an essential exercise for managing sinusitis and promoting sinus health. Sinusitis, an inflammation of the sinus passages, can cause congestion, facial pain, and breathing difficulties. Regular sinus rinses provide a simple yet effective method to relieve symptoms, facilitate healing, and maintain optimal sinus function. Sinus irrigation involves flushing out mucus, allergens, and irritants from the nasal passages, reducing inflammation and promoting drainage. The saline solution helps hydrate the nasal passages, relieves dryness and prevents further irritation. This practice is especially beneficial for people with chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergies, or those prone to sinus infections. The method is simple to perform, often involving the use of a neti pot or squeeze bottle to gently irrigate the nasal passages. It is a natural and drug-free approach, providing relief without the potential side effects associated with some medications. Consistent sinus flushing not only helps control existing symptoms, but also serves as a preventative measure against recurring sinus problems. It can be incorporated into daily or weekly routines, especially during allergy seasons or when exposed to environmental factors. By keeping sinus passages clear and reducing inflammation, sinus irrigation supports the body's natural defense mechanisms. It promotes better airflow, facilitates optimal sinus drainage and contributes to overall respiratory health. #SinusFlush #SinusitisManagement #Nasal irrigation #Saline #SinusHealth #Chronic sinusitis #Respiratorywellbeing #NasalDrainage #Allergyhelp #Naturalhealing #NasalePassageClearing #SinusCare #OptimalBreathing #PreventiveHealth #NetiPotBenefits #Facial Pain Relief #Stuffy nose #SinusInfectionPrevention #DrugFreeSinusCare #healthmaintenance

“This is the most underused method for blocked nasal and sinus infections,” says Dr Mezera British-based general practitioner.

With a nasal or sinus rinse, a saline solution is injected into both nostrils one at a time, allowing the contents of the nose to fall out.

Dr. Mezher further explains why the method works so well.

'The outside air is filled with all kinds of dirt and bacteria and when they settle, a build-up of pus occurs.

'When that happens, most people just opt ​​for nasal sprays because they are quite convenient and not that painful.

“But all they do is relieve inflammation.” Nasal rinses, on the other hand, 'flush away the infection'.

Experts have long recommended the use of nasal rinses – or nasal irrigation devices as they are sometimes called.

However, doctors have also urged users to ensure they clean the tools properly – to avoid the risk of further infection.

Dr. Eric A. Mann, Ph.D, of the FDA said: 'Nasal irrigation devices – including neti pots, bulb syringes, squeeze bottles and battery-operated pulsed water devices – are generally safe and effective products when used properly and cleaned up. .'

The body recommends rinsing only with distilled, sterile or previously boiled water – rather than plain tap water that contains few organisms – such as bacteria and protozoa, including amoebae.

Although these are safe to swallow because stomach acid kills them, the organisms can remain alive in the nasal passages and potentially cause serious infections.
