Breathe in breathe out

So this post is short, but very beneficial. It actually relates to the last post about jujitsu. During jujitsu, I noticed that my breathing had been somewhat labored. This wasn't because of some guy sitting on my chest, although I'll admit, I had considered the possibility. No. I realized I had an ongoing sinus problem that had to be dealt with. I ride a bike, and for those of you who know San Francisco weather, it is foggy in the morning, warm in the afternoon (in certain neighborhoods) , and cold in the evening. This calls for layers of clothing that can be removed and returned on the body as needed. Well, add biking, plus the elements, and my sinuses decided to revolt. I didn't want to take any over the counter medicine. I had heard the body can become resistant to anti-histamines, and eventually call for higher doses. What I needed was something natural.

I felt like I had seen it before. Yes. In a yoga book I was reading, about ten years ago. I rediscovered a fun little thing called a neti pot. For those of you who know what this is, you know that this is the shit ( the bomb, the lick , the cats meow, etc. ). With it, you basically pour water up your nose and it drains out the other side. cool. All the bad stuff comes out with it, and your basically breathing as if your nostrils were the size of dinner plates. It 's a good thing I swear. I felt sooo much better after using it. No more sinus headaches. I even felt like my vision was better. If this interests you , click here.
