TIL how to clear a blocked nose quickly and easily.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ troutbum ยท 2852 points ยท Posted at 00:40:00 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)*


Here is a tip for all of you Northern Hemispherians that I picked up at the start of our hay fever season last year.

Step 1: Breathe in deeply.

Step 2: Slowly exhale all of your air and hold your breath until you are on empty.

Step 3: Pinch your nose to avoid cheating.

Step 4: Rock your head back and fourth slowly taking 2 seconds from looking at the sky to looking at the ground.

Step 5: Do it until you absolutely NEED a breath.

Step 6: Enjoy your clear nose.

EDIT: Step 7: Profit

EDIT: There is a similar technique to stave off an asthma attack too.

EDIT: Haha I'm glad to help. Next time I'll do it for the Karma ;)

Depriving yourself of the oxygen tricks your brain into thinking it needs more air (which it does, I guess). So it opens up your nasal passages by lessening the blood flow. Actually the congestion is typically caused by increased blood flow to that area - that's why you can blow your nose and nothing comes out.

I was thinking it had something to do with the low pressure in your lungs drawing mucus down your throat or something.

Lungs drawing in pressure means the trachea is open. If a fluid is dripping from high pressure to the low pressure in your lungs, you may end up with fluid in the lungs and an pneumonia.

Post-nasal drip is bypassing the trachea and moving down the esophagus all the time, yes, because the trachea is not open and not providing access to the lungs.

[deleted] ยท 25 points ยท Posted at 14:20:45 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)*

Your brain is actually smart.

Your body is basically giving you a stuffy nose because there is stuff it wants to kick out.

The production of mucus can be a defense mechanism. You're temporarily stalling it by doing this. Also, increased blood flow is a means of providing immune-response cells.

the reason for the increased blood flow to you nasal epithelium is that they've encountered a pathogen, so your body wants to fight it. That's why your nose gets stuffed when you're sick.

FredFnord ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:03:41 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

Actually, you don't. If you can figure out how, you can do this voluntarily. (It's actually a muscle... if it were cutting down the blood flow to reduce swelling it wouldn't work nearly so quickly.)

It does take rather a lot of experimentation and a particular mindset to figure out how to do it though.

Denny_Craine ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:03:05 on April 7, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

except most muscles are involuntary (like the sphincter) so how do we know that muscle is voluntary?

So you have to clean your nose after following the OPs procedure, before it is unblocked? That sounds even better then!!! I'd like my nose unblocked, not temporarily unblocked.

monothorpe ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 11:26:11 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

That explains why physical exertion clears out the nose, as well. Personally, In my home, I'd prefer exertion--it seems safer.

cleo_ ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 12:35:44 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

tricks your brain

I'd be surprised if it were a neural control mechanism. I bet it's just the local area senses the blood-oxygen level dipping and has local feedback mechanisms that compensate automatically.

You're tricking your body, not your brain. (but I'm not a physiologist)

slowmoon ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 09:53:58 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

So your nose is just so full of blood that you can't breathe?

adolfojp ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 11:57:36 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)*

Pretty much. The inside of the nose is lined with erectile tissue. You can think of a congestion as an internal nose erection.

Fun facts: One side of your nose is always more congested than the other. And when you lay down on your side that side tends to become a little congested because of the increased blood flow.

padmadfan ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 12:44:08 on April 17, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

Increased blood flow reduces intra vascular hydrostatic pressure. Intra vascular osmotic pressure should then clear congestion by draining fluid from the nares. So I don't think your right.

Anyways, my doctor had told me this very exact technique, and he said that the head rocking was just a way to help the person to do it correctly every time. He maintained that the distraction increased focus or something like that.

He didn't mention this, but I do know that the movement will increase the consumption of oxygen, thereby expediting the effect of the technique.

I cant remember where I saw it, but it is along the lines of this one without the head nodding.

You breath in and out slowly for a count of 5 (seconds). Breathe in (1....2....3....4....5 and out 1....2....3....4....5). Do this for a total of 5 times. On your 5th time you exhale out all of your air (slowly) for as long as you can, then hold your breath (again for as long as you can).

From experience, at the time it is so much easier to reach for the inhaler. But TRUST me this works. It is hard but once you do it you will never go back.

An easier way is to cup a hand under a running tap (preferably warm) and slowly snort the water all the way back (you will know when you feel water reach your throat and maybe trickle down). Then blow out the water and blow your nose. repeat if necessary.

Normal saline would be more comfortable, but I dont have any. Nor do I have the patience to measure out salt and water (apparently 9g to 1L) when I have a stuffy nose and just want to be able to breath.

[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 07:32:55 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

Sure. Commented for others benefit. Warm saline really is more comfortable. It can be a weirdly relaxing feeling. I like to tilt my head to roll it round to my ears (I tried it to clear fluid in my Eustachian tubes).

heres an even easier way: Step 1: press with your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Step 2: release with your tongue and press with 2 fingers between your eyebrows. Step 3: repeat steps 1 & 2, going back and forth with your fingers and tongue (i know, thats what she said) until you nose starts to clear up. faster, and it doesnt make you look like an idiot in public.

Holy fuck.

Me: *le sick for past 3 days, nose soooo stuffed I sound like a cartoon character

commence doing dumb instructions

mom notices

Mom: What on earth are you doing?

continues doing it because I can still don't need air

mom is freaking out

Mom: Are you okay!!!?!

I attempt to waive my hand as if it was my head nodding yes, she accepts this as a plead for help and runs over to me panicing

I finally need to breath so I take breath

Me: No! I'm fine, I'm just...

shitstorm of snot floods my mouth causing me to puke

Mom freaks out, and yells to my dad that we need to take me to the hospital and that something is wrong

le still puking

dad comes in room as I'm getting out the last heaves of puke and starts to pat my back and asking me what is wrong

finishes puke

Me: says in my totally normal voice I was clearing my nose.

It took me a while to explain to them why all of that happened but eventually they settled down and found the situation to be funny.

TL;DR : Tried, parents freaked, worked TOO well, parents freaked more, profit.

hagensan ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 17:58:46 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

This has to do with an increase in catecholamines (a family of hormones which includes adrenalin) in the blood, which happens as a response to the stress of mild hypoxia. The adrenalin causes the arterioles in the nose to lower blood flow, allowing for the nasal mucosa oedema to be reabsorbed. Doing some quick exercise or having a scare has the same effect!

This is going to get buried under all the comments, but here's what I think is primarily going on:

You're increasing your heart rate, which causes the swelling in your nasal cavities to temporarily subside. If you have asthma, you might know that your emergency inhaler has some kind of adrenalin based product in it. The reason for that is it kicks your heart into high gear. Turns out, heart rate going up causes certain blood vessels to constrict (I guess the blood is going to major muscles?), which allows you to breathe easier since that means less swelling/inflammation in your lungs+nose.

For experiments, when it's blocked again either:

  • Without looking around and stuff, try just holding your breath for a really long time.

  • Do a couple of really fast push ups

Upping your heart rate suddenly is also very useful for waking the hell up. Falling asleep in a meeting? Hold your breath and flex your calf muscles really hard. You'll be fully alert again for about 1 minute after.

The sun is the key here! another way to clear sinuses is to press HARD between your eyes with your index finger, then alternate with pressing your tongue on the soft part of the roof of your mouth. Hold it for about half a second each, and leep doing it for up to a minute. You should feel your sinuses drain, almost instantly. Like somebody pressed an emergency release valve. I've been using these two techniques to keep my symptoms down, but I can't get rid of the headaches, or ear itching yet.

I'm not a mouth doctor or anything so I don't know exactly where I'm describing, but put your tongue on the roof of your mouth to start. Start moving it backwards, further into your mouth. You should eventually feel that there's no bone back there and it's just tissue. That's the spot that the post is describing that you press.

TL;DR the very back of the roof of the mouth

The warning about nasal sprays like Afrin being habit forming are no joke. It is habit forming, I know a lot of people think that they put warnings on OTC drugs to troll consumers but thats not the case.

Basically just making your body react to an emergency need for air and it opens up all pores. Stuffy noses are from swelling to fend off foreign contaminants. Your body sees the need for air as greater so it clears your nose. Your stuffy nose will only return in a few minutes

PlNG ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:54:03 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

I learned a slightly different technique: basically using your tongue and fingers to gently rock your nasal/palate joint back and forth for about 5-10 seconds to stimulate the sinuses into producing more (fresh) mucus and flushing out whatever is causing the blockage and irritation. Usually fixes most relevant headaches, no need to hold your breath, the effect kicks in a minute after the first few rocks.

sping ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:52:10 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

It doesn't sound all that stressful, though +1 for the Neti pot. Personally, I'll be trying some of these techniques to allow me to get the neti pot water through (exploring ruffmuff's heartrate theory). I find it's a great way to deal with a stuffy cold, but completely useless when the nose is completely blocked.

Similar steps also work great for getting rid of hiccups:

  • inhale as much as you can, hold it in for as long as you can.
  • breathe normally a bit to regain color and/or consciousness ;)
  • exhale as much as you can, hold it in for as long as you can.

There's some kind of similar technique that I heard but can't always remember which way it goes. I THINK it's to put your feet in cold water while wrapping your head in a warm towel... but maybe it's the opposite? But your remedy indicates that it's cold feet/hot head not the other way around.

Holding your breath on empty starves your body of oxygen quickly. When your brain recieves signals that you aren't getting enough oxygen to your lungs, it sends signals to your nose to open up your nostrils.

The method I've always used was to repeatedly hold my breath on empty lungs, to quickly get the oxygen-starved feeling, and breathing shallowly to get it to work faster.

I play an instrument and when I do breathing exercises I find that this also helps to clear out your chest because when you finally inhale again, the rush of air basically releases all the mucous. You will cough a ton, but you will be clearer

I'm not sure if this is already been said but here's another cure that works great:

You can also change the ratio but I find that to be pretty good and you can sip it all day without anyone noticing.

A similar technique for getting rid of hiccups:

  1. Breath in and out slowly a few times.

  2. Breath in as much air as you can.

  3. Swallow.

  4. Breath in a bit more air.

  5. Repeat 3 & 4 until you get as much air in your lungs as you can.

  6. Hold as long as you can and then release.

This works pretty well, but the effect is only temporary - your nose clears up once you start to breathe again, but for me anyway if it was blocked in the first place it blocks up again in around 10-15 seconds.

There is another way to clear your nose if you're trying to catch some needed sleep. Here is how:

  • Pinch your nose a few times
  • Sleeping on your stomach, tilt your head on a small angle
  • Your nose cleared in seconds

If it's not working pinch your nose till it's not dry and try again. I came to this solution when I was very young and having a blocked nose would drive me up the wall.

scrotomus ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 10:52:21 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

I have a better one:

Step 1: Thrust your tongue to the roof of your mouth

Step 2: Push with your thumb in the top inside of your eye sock (basically right next to your eyebrow edge and maybe a little down

Step 3: Thrust your tongue to the roof of your mouth again

Step 4: Repeat for about 30 seconds

This rocks the vomer bone that runs along your sinuses and often causes them to drain.

r00x ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 11:31:54 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

I don't have a blocked nose and thus can't test, but can anyone confirm this is more effective than what I currently do? Because what I do doesn't last very long.

If I have a blocked nose (besides just using nasal spray, which fixes it in seconds) I pinch my nose, and then try quite hard to breathe out of it. Not so hard my ears pop, but on the threshold. I can literally feel the sinuses shrinking away under the pressure.

A few seconds later, relax and let go, and my sinuses are temporarily unblocked. Very satisfying to do, but like I said, quite temporary.

ComputerSavvy ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 11:32:22 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

Got a really bad head cold?

Place the end of a Wet/Dry vac hose over your nose, turn it on, open your mouth, less than a second later, your nose is clear. Remove the hose quickly because the rapid air flow makes your nose painfully cold.

Yeah, it's brutal but it delivers instant results.

i have a pretty bad cold right now. I tried this and was amazed. The relief only lasts a few minutes at most, but still awesome. Also, it's a good way to clear your nose before using a nasal spray.

sping ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 12:46:47 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

I'm sure everyone reacts differently, but nasal spray for me just doesn't add up to anything useful. Sure I get clear initially, but it very quickly becomes much less effective, and then there's the rebound effect so that to stop using it you have to be blocked up. On top of that I can't think straight when I use it - though nowhere near as bad as with oral decongestants.

These days I flush out with salt water (neti pot) as much as possible - i.e. any convenient time when air will pass through my nostrils - and otherwise just tolerate the blockage for the day or two it lasts. I think overall it's less unpleasant.

This technique then seems to be the ideal way to clear enough to let the neti pot to do its thing when I'm blocked. At a guess it's clearing the inflammation so letting air through, and the neti rinse would then clear out the gobs of snot.

There's another technique I know of, though I think it's more for clearing sinuses. Regardless, I do it all the time.

  1. Place the pad of your thumb on the roof of your mouth, right where the ridge curves in.
  2. Place the pad of your other thumb on the space between your eyes, where you shave that bit of uni-brow hair away every few days. Make sure pressure is going up.
  3. Press, alternating back and forth.
  4. Repeat about 10 times.
  5. Wait about 10 seconds.
  6. Mucus avalanche.
InvasiveAlgorithm ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:39:30 on April 6, 2011 ยท (Permalink)

Actually if you firmly push your tongue against the roof of your mouth 5-10 times depending on how congested you are, your good. Oscillates your nasal cavity. You can also put pressure just under your septum if necessary.

Warning: Not to be a dick or anything but I think that it's important to know the body intentionally blocks one side of the nasal passage or the other regularly throughout the day. It's still a medical mystery why this happens but the mystics say it has to do with right/left brain activity. Might not be healthy to be fucking around with your bodies natural rythems and in fact many yoga masters will warn you about doing these breathing exercises without proper guidance from a master. It's a bit like attempting extreme weight lifting or martial arts from a video on the internet. Just not gonna get the form right and might injure yourself.

If you ever have a soar throat:

  1. Grab a chair. If it's creeky or has a wobbly leg--even better! The isolation helps stimulate various muscular activities which will awaken secret antibodies.
  2. Fasten a noose piece of throat-massaging rope around your neck. You need to constrict your breathing temporary to help force out the germs.
  3. Kick away the chair.
  4. ????
  5. ....

Why itโ€™s works?

I think increasing your heartbeat might also work, as your body will need more oxygen to keep the energy flowing, it may open your nasal passage.
(I've completely come up with this one because I thought it would be logical and based on the knowledge I have about respiration)
