Olbas Oil

pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine or phenylephrine (Not giving medical advice)

Or you could try vix vapour rub in boiling water or I find plucking my nostril hairs makes my nose run lol

The active ingredient in Contac capsules, great stuff!! Ask at the pharmacy, they're avalibale over the counter

Breathe out through you mouth and then hold your breath for a while. Then breathe in slowly through you mouth and repeat this a few times and you'll see what happens. Get a tissue ready though because your nose will start to run

 

[Locrian]

Push the bone at the top of your nose inbetween your eyes then bash your tongue against the roof of your mouth and repeat.

Lol....seriously...i am about to try this...is it a joke?

That's what Johhny Vaughn thought, until he tried it live on the Big Breakfast. Cue an endless stream of snot all over the place.

Yep excellent stuff, It works by causing vasoconstriction in the nasal mucosa, reduces tissue hyperaemia and oedema. However it dose like everything have side effects (hypertension)

Funny bit of trivia, its also used to treat priapism

this thread is medical! you may have rhinitis - go see your GP for a proper diagnosis. off the shelf decongestants can actually make your condition worse even if it appears to give immediate relief to the blockage.

I don't know if you can still buy oil of eucalyptus in the chemist, but I remember reading on a bottle that 1 drop on a sugar cube, when disolved in the mouth, was a good remedy. Being young and inexperienced, I put 3 drops on a sugar cube and it nearly blew my head off. Nasal problem cured as I couldn't see anyway.

i tried that thing about holding ** breath etc only a few times but nose started to run a bit

Push your tounge up against the roof of your mouth, then rock the little bone at the top of your nose, between your eyebrows. This worked a treat for me many times, can go from no breathing, to almost normal in a few seconds.

 

[Doohickey]

My suggestions:

Menthol crystals/Vaporub in hot water --> towel over head over bowl
Sex
Hot steamy shower
Plucking nose hairs (as Paras said)
Eat something really spicy

Yep, and as mentioned above.

Doing so rocks the small area where your nose gets blocked and it will clear pretty quickly...

DYNOMITE!

 

[Mr Joshua]

Try some of the nasal spray sold at Boots, I used to use it when I had a head cold and it clears it a treat meaning you get a good nights sleep.

 

[tzang]

Wasabi on its own usually does the trick... though that could be accompanied by an unwanted headache

So it did unblock?

Rocking the clavicle is your best bet. As said:

Apply pressure to the point directly between and slightly below your eyebrows, you should feel a tiny shifting. Then press your tongue firmly against the roof of your mouth, just after releasing pressure to the point between your eyebrows. Alternate this and after about a minute, your nose should be clear
