Sinusitis no more!
Are you a sufferer or the unpronounceable ‘N’, a contribution to the tissue paper massacre, or just tired of feeling like someone stuffed a soggy sock into your nose and left it there to block your air and drip yucky substances uncontrollably? If so, welcome to my club!
SINUSITIS!! The dreaded phenomena!
I grew up with nothing bothering my sinuses and all of a sudden at the age of 21, BAM! I start getting DNS. No, its not Domain Name Server. Its DRIPPY NOSE SYNDROME! That slowly moved onto uncontrollable sneezing, itchy eyes, and then the grand finale. Total. Airway. Obstruction. 
It got so bad that unless I kept my mouth open, I could not breath. Eating was a chore because that blocked my only passage of air. Yes. I was miserable!
But then I found a beacon of hope for myself when I was in Cambodia’s NataRaj Yoga, a yoga centre owned by Isabelle Skaburskis, who works closely with youths who have been sexually trafficked, rehabilitating them through the loving practice of yoga. I met Hart Lazer during my course on treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with yoga, and he gave some pointers which I found really helpful! It might sound odd, but just give it a shot!
1) Look for the midpoint of your clavicle (collar bone). If you shrug your shoulders upwards, you will find a hollow segment behind that mid point. Look for the soft part of the hollow, and dig your pointer and middle finger into that point. If you’re not used to it, it might hurt a little. But the amazing thing is, the side which you’re doing this on (left or right collar bone), the corresponding nostril will clear and allow for air to enter 
2) Groin stretch! In order to clear your nasal passages, another method that worked for me was to get onto my mat, or floor if you’ve got no mat, and take one big step forward, into a lunge. Sink deeply into the lunge, and hold. To deepen the stretch, you can curl your hind feet up towards your bum.
I know these sound like crazy ways to clear your nose, but it really works! These are just 2 methods that Hart taught me. Lots of other methods out there, usually involving inversions, but I’ll leave that to another time. For now, happy breathing!
