Clearing Out Congestion

SneezingThis month's free tip is instructions for doing a nasal lavage. This is a great home treatment for clearing out nasal and sinus congestion due to allergies or infection.

This treatment can be done at home without the aid of any special "equipment". Simply mix 1/2 teaspoon sea salt with 1 cup filtered water. The procedure will be easiest if you use a cup with a pour spout, a child's "sippie cup" or a bulb syringe.

Lean forward over the sink and tilt your head slightly. Pour some of the salt water into the top nostril letting it flow out of the lower nostril.

Then tip your head the other way, repeating in the opposite direction. The nasal lavage can be done in the morning and the evening until your symptoms resolve.

This process may feel awkward the first few times you do it. Stay with it, it gets easier and more comfortable with practice. The benefits are well worth the initial discomfort.

To make doing a nasal lavage MUCH easier use a neti pot. The link below leads to information on the use and purchase of neti pots.

Poetic Yoga in Spring
 

On April 25th I will co-teach a Poetic Yoga in Spring workshop with my husband Richard Brown. The workshop combines yoga with the reading and writing of Poetry.

Richard is a certified poetry facilitator (yes there is such a thing) and is quite gifted at getting even those of us who think we can't write to produce little gems.

Come celebrate spring with us! Follow the link below for more details and registration.

Poetic Yoga Workshop


A Tool To Use At Home

Access KidSaturday April 18 I will participate in Portland's next BodyTalk Access course. Access is a system of techniques that can be done at home to improve all aspects of health including mental and emotional clarity and stability, a more balanced response to stress, improved immune function, and better physical performance and healing.

Taking this one-day course is perhaps the best investment you can make in your health. Access is great because once learned, you can perform the techniques in less than 10 minutes.

See the link below for full course information and registration. I hope you will come and join us!

Free Health Tips

As we all know, many are currently experiencing increased economic difficulty. For some this means fewer dollars to spend on health and wellness.

Throughout my career as a naturopathic physician I have promoted safe and effective home treatments. This is why I wrote my book Herbal Medicine for Health and Well-being which is a guide to herbal home therapies.

This is also why I am now using my monthly e-bulletin to share ways that you can support your health without cost. I hope you find these tips useful and will pass them on to friends and family who may also benefit from them.

Lastly, I encourage you to visit our "Bulletin Archives" which contain many more free tips for good health.

Yours in Health,
Laura Washington, ND
