    The 2 best ways to clear a nose.

    The first is you exhale as long as you can through your nose and then pinch it with a tissue as if you were going to blow your nose. Then keep hold your breath and tilt your head up, then down, then up, then down… Continuously until you absolutely cannot breathe. Then blow your nose and both sides will clear out completely.

    The second is to lay down “like one of your french girls” meme, with your head held up in your hand leaning on your elbow. If you are on your left side, the right nostril will clear, and if your on your right side the left nostril will start clearing. This helps get the pressure down.

    These work 100% of the time, but for short periods (because of anatomical reasons) but what a relief. Enjoy

      Fun fact: the nose has the same erectile tissue as the penis for the mechanism of closing and opening each nostril.

    • The best way to clear your nose under any circumstances other than being allergic to the solution is:

      Horseradish, wasabi, or English mustard.

      The spicier the better. Peppers affect what they touch; these things affect your eyes and nose. Eat a huge wad of wasabi and you’ll go from clogged to runny lickety split.
