    Some people pour water up their nose. I saw someone doing it in the military. Said it felt great. I wasn’t convinced.

      I am genetically blessed with a chronic form of histamine allergies that keep my sinuses blocked. On bad days, I have to heat water, then let it cool, and then add a specific salt then use a medical pump to pump them all the way through my nostrils until they reach the back of my throat to make sure the canals are open. Doctor’s orders and all. I assure you, we are not doing this for fun.

        The results definitely feel great, the process is def miserable.

        And the result is generally not amazing, just no longer “I want to take chunks out of my face with a rusty mellon baller until I can finally breath”
