Did you know that smell is 95% of taste? Yes, what you smell is what you actually taste and therefore absorbs into your bloodstream. This is why smell can and does affect you.
Unfortunately, most of us do not experience real breathing. Our nasal passages are clogged and obstructed with various debris and substances, mainly hardened mucus (aka boogers). This condition impairs proper and free flowing breathing which really makes a big difference in terms of optimal health in general and respiratory health in particular.
It is very important to have and experience good breathing. Through the nostrils we breathe in the breath of life, which contains the vital “chi”, “prana” or energy necessary for optimal health.
Nasal flushing and cleansing along with breathing techniques and exercises (such as those imported via yoga) are the best things for improving breathing and flow of “chi” (energy) into the body.
Safely Cleansing Nasal Passages
Many may say or ask “how do you possibly, sanely and safely cleanse the nostrils and nasal passages?” The answer is quite easy! You use a Neti pot. A Neti pot facilitates the Neti wash (cleanse and flush).
The Neti wash is a type of water cleansing, which allows for the sinuous of the nasal (and ear and eye) cavities to release accumulated waste particles and substances that have attached to the mucus lining.
Nasal flushing and cleansing is customary hygiene practice in many countries and regions of the East such as India, Tibet, and the Middle East.
Many professional brands of Neti Wash solutions will also contain Zinc acetate, which is used for nasal health.
Snoring has been nutritionally attributed to zinc and sulfur deficiency and many people with snoring problems have been helped with MSM Sulfur therapy (taking 2,000-6,000 mg daily).
In addition to the liquid herbal Neti wash solution, try using saline in the Neti pot for each wash or cleansing. Many professional brands of Neti Pot Salt will contain non-iodized salt, but iodized sea salt or regular sea salt will suffice the nasal cleanse and washing process.
Adding MSM Sulfur to the sea salt in addition to the herbal nasal cleansing solution works nasal wonders.
After cleansing, inhale or sniff essential oils of Eucalyptus and Pine to help open the nasal passages further.
Breathing is a very alkaline or alkalizing thing. It will greatly help to dissolve and expel hardened mucus (boogers). The Neti Pot cleansing and flushing process is also alkaline, mainly due in part to the herbs and sea salt.
You can ozonate the water for your Neti wash, too. Oxygen and alkalinity are the secrets to good great health. You cannot get sick with these two things in abundance in your body.
Neti wash water can also be enhanced not only with ozone or oxygen, but with crystal water of Blue Fluorite and Magnetite. These two stones are great for nose problems such as nosebleed.
If you can’t fathom the idea of water going in through one nostril and gently coming out of the other nostril which is how the Neti Pot and Neti wash process works, you may just want to perform facial tinting (steaming) – placing your head over a pot of hot, boiling water that contains a few drops of Eucalyptus oil and just breathe in the sinus-opening vapors.
Magnetic Healing Options
Also, it is a fact that most people are only breathing through one nostril due to blockage. This blockage is magnetic in nature. You can test yourself by pressing down on one nostril and inhaling and exhaling through the other. Chances are there’s a blockage.
This problem can be rectified with the use of magnets, medical-grade or therapeutic magnets which are usually very small gold-plated, powerful gauss (500-9,000) magnets that are applied to both sides of the nose with small adhesive bandages that are worn for 6-12 hours daily until the blockage disappears.
