This is cold and dry season. As the winter sun heats up our environment and bodies, the excess the body might have collected through the wet rainy season, tends to clog up the sinuses causing nasal blockage, sinus problems and breathing difficulties. Here are a couple of things you can do to help yourself. Please follow the simple instructions correctly to benefit from them:
1. Always drink hot boiled water- it increases the efficiency of your liver that clears up the blockages.
2. If the cold and nasal congestion persist beyong 3-4 days, try this: Take a thick napkin, dip it in hot water (water should be as hot as you can bear) and foment your face, the cheeks, sinus areas and forehead well for a couple of minutes; Take a piece of turmeric, smear a little ghee on it and burn it; put out the flame and inhale the fumes through the nose. This procedure has to be done early in the morning by 7.30 or just before sunset time when the sun's heat is not high.
3. As this is dry season and the nasal cavity and throat can get dry, it helps immensely to oleate the nose and ears with oil or ghee. (Please remember, you should not put oil in your ears if you have any discharge in them.)
