As winter persists, many are seeking natural remedies for common colds and sinus congestion beyond traditional medicine. A chiropractor, Dr. Ben Horning, has gone viral on TikTok for demonstrating a straightforward technique to alleviate stuffy noses. His method, which involves a specific nose-pulling and cheekbone-pressing maneuver, has garnered widespread attention and positive feedback from users.
Many viewers shared their surprise and success, with comments like "It actually works" and "Why did that just work" flooding the video's comment section. Dr. Horning playfully attributed the efficacy to "Chiro magic." However, not all users experienced relief, highlighting the varied nature of nasal congestion.
The National Health Service (NHS) explains that nasal congestion can stem from various causes, including colds and sinusitis, which typically resolves within four weeks. For persistent symptoms, over-the-counter remedies like decongestant sprays or saline rinses are recommended, with pharmacists able to offer advice. For persistent or concerning symptoms, consulting a healthcare professional is advised.
