NASAL CONGESTION

    Nasal congestion comes from a partial blockage of a nasal passage caused by an inflammation of the mucous membrane. Congestion can be caused by infection of the passageway as a result of a cold, an infection coming from the sinuses, or allergies. See the section on Sinus Congestion in this book.
    *Place two caps of Sol-U-Mel and 10-12 drops of T36-C5 in a cool mist humidifier in your bedroom and breathe deeply all night. A warm air vaporizer will work as well, but it will not last as long and thus is more expensive. Use CounterAct Cough Drops, which contain menthol and Melaleuca oil, to reduce coughs and help open nasal passages. If the blockage is severe, take a cloth and drip 4 to 5 drops of T36-C5 on it and place it on or near your pillow. Placing a few drops of T36-C5 or T40-C3 in hot water and making a tent with a towel over your head is also very effective.
