I currently have a stuffy nose and it really bothers me when i want to get some rest but i cant harldely breathe out my nose. It gets me very frustrated and i wont be able to sleep until 6:00 in the morning. Then i wake up having myself sniffle and trying to breathe out my left nostril. I hope my cold goes away soon because i cant take this anymore!!

Hi Cher Yeah you probably have allergies like me some people have seasonal allergies some people have them all year around indoor and outdoor even pet allergies . What do you use for your stuffy nose?

Hiya cherry, Peel a couple of onions if you have them the cooking ones. Put them as near to your Bed as you can and leave them as near as you can all night. It works great for these kind of stuffy noses that just won´t budge no matter what you are taking. It won´t harm you even if you are taking anything for the stuffy nose and it will help to ease your breathing. It´s a bit late at night to start drinking water and fruit juice because then you would be in and out the Bathroom and would not sleep at all. This is the first thing I have thought of because if you need to sleep and you are already very tired it´s a simple easy remedy. Of course there are eucalyptus oil things around for you to smell but they don´t shift it as quick as the onions they do tend to take a bit longer. Just a thought that´s all. Get better soon cherry. Hugs Sue.xxx

Hi Lovin Yes your right about the onions my mother used to do that for us kids it didn't smell the best but it worked she even used to had garlic I don't know why but she did and I didn't like that at all I almost would rather have the stuffy nose
