I had a really badly blocked nose today, so bad that it was really annoying me, so bad that I actually decided to google how best to unblock my nose (yes it was really that bad). I found the following nothing short of amazing: Keep your mouth firmly shut. Exhale fully through your nose. Pinch your nose with your fingers. Nodd your head up and down. Keep doing it... and doing it... and doing it... and doing it... ..until you can't hold it any longer, inhale violently through your nose Your nose will be clear! I hear the theory behind it is to do with carbon dioxide. Your body senses you've got too much of it and it reacts by mysteriously unblocking your nose in an instant. Goes to show you what your body can really do if it's bothered.
