AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON STUFFED NOSE (CAN'T BREATHE)

Nasal passages become blocked when either swollen or filled with mucus. Infections, as well as dryness in the air can irritate passages, making them swollen. Electric and gas heat are very dry in nature. Cold air causes the nasal passages to swell as well. Mouth breathing dries out the mouth and throat. Avoid astringnent tastes which will make this condition worse. When the nose is stuffed, mouth breathing may irritate the lungs, making your body susceptible to deeper chest colds and lung conditions. To avoid this complication, be sure to add a humidifier to the room

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

STUFFED NOSE (CAN'T BREATHE) IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
