Alternative Treatment For Nose Problems

The nose produces extra mucus when there is infection in order to expel it from the body; the runny nose in a cold is a sign that your body's defense system is in good working order.

Sneezing
Sneezes are a noisy expulsion of air and irritants from the nose, often a result of viral infection or allergy.

Treatment
Yoga There2 are various yoga exercises, including rapid ahdominal breathing, and breathing and stretching, that can alleviate nasal allergy. Cleaning the nose in the yogic tradition will help: fill a long-spouted pot with lightly salted warm water and, tilting the head, insert the spout into one nostril and pour water slowly until it comes out of the other nostril. Repeat on the other side.
