    It didn't clear my nose but it did relax me a lot, I feel ready for a restorative nap now.

      Hello the best success that i've had was by using the Briona sore guide (just google it) - without a doubt the best resource that I have ever seen.

    There is a comment in one of these types of videos that says do 3-5 push-ups to instantly unclog your nose, and it works so perfectly! Not trying to take credit, just spreading the word

    Excellent video Rachel & many thanks for taking the time and effort to make it & share. I was licensed as a massage therapist about 35 years ago, and a lot of what you showed in your video dovetailed what I was taught while I was learning. The only thing that I might add, is for congestion it is also good if possible to self massage the corresponding back muscles between the spine & shoulder blade area. As I'm sure you know, those areas usually become more tense with congestion (and/or coughing) as well, and relaxing them will also help the chest relax & improve breathing.
    If I may, I will end by wishing you my favorite Irish blessing:
    "May the best of your past,
    Be the worst of your future!"
    Take care!

    Ive been struggling with sinuses for weeks. At the end, when you said to breath deep I was like sure- whatever.
    I’ve never been able to breath in through my nose. But i tried- just to prove that I was the exception. And it worked!!! Not %100 better, but i sense that this is more of a process than a one time fix.
