Get rid of stuffed or running nose without drugs

There are only 4 easy points to massage, so it’s very easy to remember and always have it with you (in your head). Here how it goes:

1. Perform the below routine 3 times:
   1. Perform 10 pressures on a cavity at the corner of the nostrils (point 1). You should almost close and open the nostrils when you do the round movement.
   2. Perform 10 pressures on a cavity just below the corner of the eyes near the nose (point 2)
   3. Perform 10 pressures on a cavity just below the ear, behind the earlobe (point 3)
   4. Massage the earlobe 10 times (point 4)
2. After performing the above 3 times, you should feel immediate relief of your nasal congestion. It is advised to return on the above procedure again in about 10 minutes to make it more permanent or the congestion could return.

Additional instructions: The pressures are actually round movement. Look at the pictures for exact motion.

Update:See more clarification on the technique in my answer to a reader.

I hope these instruction will make you feel better next time you’ve got stuffy nose. Tell me if it helps you as much as it helps me and my family.

 I do it with a very mild pressure. Just place your fingertips on the points and rotate with a little pressure. Nothing should hurt at all.

Also, you should not push the cartilage of the nose and definitely not the ear's. In the nose, only the bottom part of the nostrils are being pushed. In the ears (point 3), it's the cavity just below the cartilage and the rotation is not wide, so you're actually more pushing and releasing the point when you do the round movements.

Point 2 is just below the corner of the eyes where the tears come out (where you take the stuff out of your eyes when you wake up in the morning). The rotation is done without lifting the finger but by moving the skin. It's once again more of a pushing-releasing kind of rotation and you should feel the corner of the eye when your applying the pressure.
