...have you poured warm, salinated water through your sinuses? It works wonders!

Okay, I actually tried to look up how to do it online, and everyone that's ever written about it is an idiot and wants to hurt you. SO!

Get some water, preferably warm. And get some salt. And mix them together (you can also do regular water, no biggie), like you're going to gargle with salt water. Then! You need a something with a nozzle, or a spout, or some sort of tip to it (gah, some place actually suggested some sort of irrigation bulb). Then you put your warm, salty water in the thingie and you hie thee to the bathroom!

Are you in the bathroom? Good. Now. Say the right side of your nose is stuffed up. You lean over the sink, right side down, with your nose kinda pointing up. Then you pour the warm water into your left nostril. TRUST ME, if you leaned correctly it is not at all like getting water up your nose and is instead the coolest thing ever. It goes in one side and out the other, and then you stand up and are like, woah, when did I learn to breathe again?

It TOTALLY WORKS and is also a really creepy trick you can scare people with. A bit like the cupping technique for sore muscles.
