Listen to me.

That powder is awesome.

Getcha some facial tissues. A whole box if you've got it handy, or a dish towel, or some toilet paper. On the count of three, you're going to snort a line (or pile) right up your nozzle. You're immediate thought is going to be "It's not that bad..."

And then it's going to burn like heck. But it's not an unbearable burn, it's a crazy funny hilarious I can't believe I just did this to myself burn.

I snorted straight cayenne powder up my nose with my 16 year old. It was a hoot! We laughed so hard! Our eyes were watering, our noses were running like a faucet, and we sneezed for about 10 straight minutes, almost laughing ourselves to death.

You gotta leave it in there and not blow it out for about 5 or 10 minutes. Wipe your nose, wipe your eyes, sneeze like crazy, but don't blow it out.

When you finally do blow your nose, you'll be amazed. Calm down, then do the other side. :)

Seriously, it won't hurt you.

Game?

I've got this in my faves for when I try it:)

Bubble girl here -

now - I'm not really bubble girl anymore but during allergy season I become so again. I'm severely allergic to ragweed, juniper, mold, most cats, etc. Seriously - I've resigned myself to it may get a 'bit better' but I was told I had a left deviated septum and well - it's just the way it is. My left sinus passage is rarely not closed. Not snotty necessarily unless it's allergy season - but just closed. The right is always half-mast.

After the ridiculousness calmed down of having tried a little teeny bit and tortured myself - I did the full 1/16th tsp up the left nostril. I have to say that it did not burn in the same way near as badly. I understand this is because there was more of it, I breathed all the way and hit the back of my sinuses. I swear I felt it in the back of my brain. I did not do the right nostril - and not because I was afraid (well...maybe a teeny bit but that wasn't the total reason) but I had intended on waiting until I was done suffering so much and think about doing the other. Then it hit me - if I didn't do the right and I chose to do the one that's ALWAYS shut - then I'd have a rockin experiment.

It has been four hours now since I did the proper snuff pull. I'm still clear enough in my left nostril to breathe. It's starting to calm down but I just had tea with juniper in it (didn't realize) and I'm a little stuffed and weezy now. But before I had the juniper tea - I was fine. BTW - I had a dose of Uny's Lobelia for it rather than reach for my inhaler and I'm fine now. Verrrry interesting.

What does that mean? That means for near three decades I can't remember, without the help of something, my left nostril being as clear as it is right now. More over - the head pulsing/tickling I experienced waiting for the tears to slow - was in the place where I have headaches, the lower left occiput. And the hardened lymph node on the side of my neck pulsed. Coincidence? Eh - I doubt it.

I feel different. The left part of my head, back to the back of my brain it feels like - are much, much clearer. I covered the right side of my face and looked in the mirror - my left eye was much clearer and brighter looking than my right. I did not have any idea that I was that stopped up. Now - I cheated. I didn't have any horseradish to clear my sinuses with ahead of time and water/cayenne nasal spray/homeopathic sprays have just never worked for me. Hence - I've kept nasal spray around for when I'm miserable. so - I used that. And the clarity that I had in my left sinus a half hour after I did it was clearer and stranger than I've ever gotten from any OTC or prescription spray or med.

WACKY!

I'll do both tomorrow and hopefully it'll go a bit less hilariously.

Enjoy!
