Cold water nose wash
In 1975, I had a sinus infection that was very serious. A bottle of nasal drops for two days was not enough, and as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, my nostrils would immediately stop breathing. I couldn’t be cured for a long time. At this time, a doctor Zhang said a recipe: wash your face without hot water, use cold water, use the palm of your hand to hold the cold water from the tap, cover your nose, suck the cold water into your nostrils, and then blow out, and then hold the water to suck in, and then blow out, several times in a row, and adhere to it every day. I used this cold water treatment for 10 days and got rid of my sinusitis. For more than 20 years, I have never stopped using cold water therapy, and my sinusitis has not recurred so far.
Professor Zheng Hainong]: “Water washing nose method” is a folk health care treatment that is easy to operate and safe without side effects. The “nose wash” can remove nasal secretions, pathogenic bacteria and other harmful substances, eliminate the root cause of inflammation, so that the nose to maintain a clean, moist normal physiological state. I have several old patients with rhinitis who are no longer comfortable with drugs due to various diseases. I suggested them to use nasal washing therapy for a period of time and then stop using antibiotics and other drugs that shrink the nasal cavity, avoiding the harm to the body caused by long-term use of rhinitis drugs and saving treatment costs. The key to effectiveness is to do it every day and stick to it for a long time.
Professor CONGPIN]: Must be gradual, especially for allergic rhinitis patients, it is recommended that at first you can wash once a day, every day at noon, the water temperature can also be a little higher, wait until you get used to it and then slowly transition to once a day in the morning and evening, 5-10 minutes each time, before washing the hands covered warm.
The main reason for the high incidence of rhinitis in autumn and winter is that it is difficult for the body to adapt to cold for a while, and washing your face and nose with cold water not only strengthens your body, but also helps the body adapt to the outside temperature and humidity as soon as possible.
The conclusion]: reliable, but should be gradual and persistent.
Green moss for rhinitis
The day of volcano is a great time to cure rhinitis. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Use a small shovel to scrape them off, put them in a bowl and soak them in water for half a day. Wash it and put it in a bowl to soak. Roll the green moss in a single layer of gauze, slightly thinner than your own nostrils, and stuff it into your nostrils. Stuff one nostril at night when you go to sleep, and then stuff the other nostril the next night, and insist until you run out of green moss, you can basically cure rhinitis, and then make up for it the next year.
I suffered from rhinitis for many years, ran all over the size of the hospital is still not cured, suffocating at night can not sleep, Tianjin City, Jixian Nanzhuangdu village Zhang Xiaoyu told me the above recipe, at that time I will be skeptical to try, did not expect the first year on the basic good, the second year I make up for the rhinitis completely cured, I have passed many people, are working.
Three expert reviews]: Never heard of it.
Massage eye sockets to cure rhinitis
I got rhinitis when I was more than 30 years old, really hard to bear, injections and medication have not been effective. As the saying goes, “eye pain and nose damage”, so I tried massaging around my eyes with my fingers. When I massaged the orbits under my eyes, I felt a rustling in my nose and a sense of relief, so I worked on this area. After a period of time, it really relieved my pain, and after more than 40 years, it has never come back. I have told others about this method and they have all had good results.
The way to do it is – press the index finger of both hands on a very shallow pit on the edge of the orbital bone under both eyes, rub up and down with some force one or two hundred times a day, no less than twice a day; persistence will take effect.
Professor [Cong Pin]: You can use it, the effect varies from person to person.
Jogging for rhinitis
I am 49 years old, more than 30 years ago, due to a heavy cold fell the root of sinusitis. In 1985, a friend told me that running could relieve the pain of rhinitis. I started to jog for 40 minutes every morning or evening, and my condition improved after two months. In less than two years, my sinusitis was completely eradicated. Now I have changed from jogging to walking, and I have been insisting on it for more than ten years, even changing my commute from car to walking.
Professor [Cong Pin]: Exercise helps the recovery of various chronic diseases. Persistent exercise strengthens the body, strengthens its own resistance, and the chances of disease are reduced. In other words, besides jogging, other aerobic exercises have the same effect, but swimming is not recommended.
【Director Chen Zhiling】: Exercise can promote blood circulation and improve the way air enters in the nasal cavity, making it more aerated. This is why rhinitis is always committed when people are quiet and does not flare up when they exercise.
[Conclusion]: Reliable and suitable for all rhinitis patients.
White radish water for nasal congestion
When I was a child, I often had a stuffy nose and a headache, then my grandmother taught me a method: take 3-4 white radishes and put them in a pot with water, boil them and suck the steam through your nose. After a few minutes, the nose gradually cleared and the headache disappeared. In the future, I often soak the radish slices in a cup to suck the steam, the disease never repeated.
Three experts commented]: Never heard of it.
Saliva for allergic rhinitis
I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis for more than 10 years, and have gone to the hospital many times for treatment, and have had ear needles and medication, all to no avail. Once I woke up in the middle of the night during a continuous attack, because my nasal cavity was dry and itchy, I used saliva to rub my nasal cavity, and after rubbing, I felt a slight pain on the surface of my nasal cavity. As the crusts fell off on their own, the allergic rhinitis that had not been cured for years was miraculously cured.
Three experts commented]: Never heard of it.
Erythromycin eye ointment for rhinitis
Take erythromycin or tetracycline ophthalmic ointment on a sterilized cotton swab, reach into the nasal cavity and apply the ointment evenly, each time to coat the nasal cavity, twice a day. Generally rhinitis can be cured in 3-5 days without sequelae.
【Director Chen Zhiling】：Erythromycin or tetracycline ophthalmic ointment contains antibiotic anti-inflammatory effect and is commonly used clinically for those patients with dry nasal cavity and prone to nosebleeds, but not for patients with allergic rhinitis.
Professor 【Cong Pin】: Patients with atrophic rhinitis will have different degrees of erosion of the nasal mediastinum and nasal mucosa, so that they are prone to dry nasal cavity and easy to have blood in nasal discharge.
【Conclusion】: It is suitable for dry atrophic rhinitis for a short period of time, not for allergic rhinitis.
Medicinal solution for nasal fumigation
Xin Yi 15g, Shuang Hua 15g, Dandelion 10g, Di Ding 10g, Fang Feng 10g, Cicada 5g, Scutellaria 10g, Dan Pi 8g, Chrysanthemum 8g, Bai Shu Pi 10g, Bai Shen Zi 8g, Gui Zhi 8g, decoct water of the above drugs to get 500ml of the liquid, fumigate the nose with the liquid while it is hot.
Patients should try to inhale deeply when fumigating, so that the steam enters the nasal cavity. After the liquid becomes warm, it can be used to rinse the nasal cavity and fumigate 3 times a day. It will be cured in 3-5 days. In the process of medication, patients should pay attention to eat less spicy and fishy things on weekdays, eat more vegetables and fruits to avoid the odor. In cold weather, they should pay attention to keep warm, exercise more at ordinary times and try to wash their faces with cold water. This is a partial prescription for allergic rhinitis, and people who have used this method think the effect is more satisfactory.
【Professor Cong Pin】: This medicine has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, warming and reducing swelling, which is more suitable for the excessive nasal discharge and nasal congestion caused by cold, and can also relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis patients, but it cannot play a curative role. In addition, as a topical medicine, this medicine is too expensive to take, a 7-day supply costs 194 yuan. I personally do not advocate it very much. There are many more clinically effective and affordable remedies than this one.
Conclusion]: The efficacy is average and also too expensive, not recommended.
Fragrance oil drops for allergic rhinitis
I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis for 7 years. Once autumn comes, I start to sneeze, runny nose, itchy nose and nasal congestion, and when it is serious, I can’t sleep at all. Last year, I got a remedy by chance: drops of aromatic oil. After trying it, the effect was quite good. Fragrance oil is ordinary edible fragrance oil, three to five times a day, each time about five drops, drops into the nose.
Note: Do not drop when the nasal congestion is serious, you can change your position, and then drop after the nose is ventilated, drop before blowing the nose clean. If you are persistent, you will definitely see results. It is said that this method is also very effective for common rhinitis.
Professor Cong Pin]: Firstly, fragrant oil is aromatic, which is contraindicated for allergic rhinitis patients; secondly, greasy things entering the nasal cavity will interfere with the cilia movement in the nasal cavity, and the above loofah is a reason. However, patients with atrophic rhinitis can try it, but it is recommended to use olive oil, which has high purity and less pollution, and it is recommended to use one or two drops once a day. Too much then grease will enter the lungs along the respiratory tract, deposited in the lung cavity to affect the gas exchange function of the alveoli, and over time may also induce trophoblastic pneumonia.
[Conclusion]: Not recommended. Patients with atrophic rhinitis can try with olive oil.
White onion for rhinitis
I was also a rhinitis sufferer for several years and have been undergoing treatment, taking a lot of medication, but the effect is not good, so I have been very distressed. A few years ago I happened to get a folk remedy that was easy to use and had no side effects, and I was finally cured of my rhinitis with this remedy.
The herbs used in the treatment are very common and are the green onions that we usually use for cooking. The specific production method is: fresh raw onion washed, take the white onion, mash, put a few small group of nail-cap size cotton dipped onion juice spare. When the treatment is first used cotton swabs dipped in light salt water to clean the nostrils, and then the small cotton ball dipped in onion juice into the nostrils, at first felt pungent, gradually will lose irritation, when the effectiveness of the disappeared and then replaced with a new cotton ball. Stuff for about half an hour to an hour a day, two or three times a day.
As far as my own practice is concerned, this native remedy is most effective for acute rhinitis. I have been suffering from acute rhinitis for nearly six months, and after a week of using this remedy, there was a significant improvement. After that, I used this remedy as a supplementary treatment for every cold, and then the rhinitis was slowly cured.
I keep introducing it to my friends with rhinitis, and I have seen many miraculous results, and my acute rhinitis is cured quickly. The long-standing chronic rhinitis patients adhere to the treatment, will also reduce the symptoms gradually improve.
Three expert reviews]: I have not heard of it.
Professor Cong Pin recommends three ways to cure rhinitis
1, allergic rhinitis patients eat wild ginseng in winter
Professor Cong said that in the early 1990s, the incidence of allergic rhinitis in China was only 1%-5%, and was more common in the northeast and northwest. The northeast was the gathering place of heavy industries in China, with more smoke and dust and relatively poor air quality, while the northwest prairie had more vine and other plants. But by 2002, the incidence of allergic rhinitis in China rose to 5%-10%, and there is no difference between the north and the south, the rate of increase is quite fast, the reasons for this and the rapid urbanization process, serious atmospheric pollution, modern people’s fast-paced life, lack of exercise, poor body resistance, the high incidence of various chronic diseases, etc. have a lot to do with.
Now, at the turn of autumn and winter, it is the high incidence of rhinitis. Professor Cong said that in recent times, the ENT clinic, 60% to 70% of the patients are to see rhinitis, especially allergic rhinitis patients, accounting for 40% to 50%. How to relieve rhinitis caused by sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and other symptoms, she has two tips, you can refer to –
2, hot water soaking feet: especially suitable for nasal congestion caused by colds. Professor Cong every cold and stuffy nose is to do so, soak feet for 10-15 minutes before going to bed, but the water must be more, almost to the calf belly place.
3, chrysanthemum, peppermint infusion fumigation: chrysanthemum can clear heat and detoxify the body, peppermint can open the orifices, which is very helpful to improve nasal congestion, it is recommended to use a small cola bottle size caliber container fumigation, so that the fumigation time can be longer, the medicinal effect is not so easy to evaporate away.
For patients with allergic rhinitis, Professor Cong recommends eating ginseng around the winter solstice, preferably wild ginseng or migratory ginseng, and other straight ginseng, but not for children. Ginseng is a hot tonic, and most of the allergic rhinitis patients have a deficiency of qi or yang, so there is a saying in Chinese medicine that “cold diseases are treated with heat and hot diseases are treated with cold”. It should be reminded that ginseng should be eaten slowly, one ginseng is divided into 5-7 days to finish, too much at a time, too fast is easy to over-supplement.
The actual fact that there are many types of rhinitis and different ways to treat them may not be useful for others, and may even be harmful.
