What home remedies for allergies do you use?

Are there any home remedies to help me taste food while my nose is stuffed up?

  • We've all been there. I got the common cold and it's now at the point where my nose is so stuffed up to where I cannot taste anything I eat. Thus, making eating more of a chore then actually enjoying it. My question is: Are there any home remedies that I can possibly use to help aid in me being able to taste the food I eat? P.S.- My cold is not due to allergies but it was the closest category so I used it.

  • Answer:

    I'm stuffed up like that too. It will go away eventually. So you just eat for sustenance and don't get to enjoy it for awhile. No biggie. I don't do anything about it when this happens. It's my body healing and this must be a part of it.

Try steam. Boil a large pot of water. Cover your face and take some steam for sometime, and it may open up your sinuses. But you have to be very very careful with this. You should cover your face and your head and then bring your face close to the water and inhale and exhale. The cloth or towel whatever you are using should shield you from the outside air, becasue you face will be hot from the steam and room air is cooler compared to it, so you dont want any contact with that. After you are done with the steam, when you feel a bit unstuffed up, then keep your face wrapped up in the cloth for quite sometime until you feel that your face is the same temperature as the room air. Then you can come out of the cover. This may help, but be careful. It's really common sense. Another thing, might be to eat something really spicy that may open up your sinuses too.

I don't know of any, but, I was thinking, that if there was no taste in food, there would be no obese people, and make it a lot easier to fast ! Ask the Lord for healing.....? Peace and love...

Hey, I've got a blocked nose too! but im not at the stage yet that i cant taste... there not really home remedies... but they really work! any way... if you go to work, or need something fast, a good quick thing to have is airwaves. if you live in Ireland(which is where i live) you could buy airwaves the chewing gum it really workes but it will get clogged up again. I'd consult a pharmacist for further advise they might have something good to take!

As you surely well know by now, your tongue has taste sensors for only sour, bitter, salt and sweet, plus texture, heat and cold. If you care to use a 12-hour nasal spray, you can clear your nose enough to experience some additional "tastes"; however, you dare not exceed recommended dosages or you could get a "rebound effect". As an alternative, you can purchase a saline nasal spray, which is perfectly safe to use as often as you wish. Generic saline nasal sprays are just as effective and safe as brand name sprays. A saline nasal spray which uses canning salt can be made at home and we've done so in the past; however we've misplaced the recipe. Canning salt is a pure form of salt, whereas table salt also contains sodium slicoaluminate, dextrose, potassium iodide and sodium bicarbonate.

Do you like spicy Mexican foods? A good remedy for a stuffed nose is to eat some spicy stuff........and when the stuffy feeling goes away, you can taste again !

Eat spicy food, you will taste it and it should help clear out the sinuses.
