Cayenne Pepper. Take a quarter teaspoon, a little water - about an ounce or two, Mix well and down it, FAST. Then, be prepared to dance on the ceiling, when you come down, your head will be clear, and so will the rest of your body....

Oh, be careful, when it comes out the other side, it can be dangerous... but you won't have hemmeroids...

Sounds like a grand idea Frank - but a Neti pot will also do the trick and one doesn't haven't to worry about downstream after effects...

I have heard of the qualities of capsaicin, but I'm too much of a wuss to try it.

thanks, everyone for your suggestions. i will definitely bookmark this thread.

i just got back from an audition that called for an Isaac Hayes feel and delivery, so i think i got away with it. i bought a tea and practically dumped my nose in the steam. it worked for the couple of minutes i was in the booth.

it would suck if i booked it and they want me to reproduce that stuffy feeling Wink

btw, Frank - that sounds crazy! If you're serious, i'll try it when i don't have to leave my studio so that i can have access to the... you know.

Neosynephrine Nasal Decongestant (spray).
... Two shots in each nostril.
...... Better than Vicks.
......... Don't get into a habit.

Be careful of Neosynephrine. You can get hooked on it.

Try half a glass of lukewarm salt water and siff in your nose. It'll do a nice cleaning. I do it to practice my Tony Randall (Odd Couple) impression. Ever wonder why you don't get a head cold at the beach? <g>

This clears everything.

Required:
1 Garlic Clove
Cheesecloth
Dropper
Towel (optional)

Instructions:
Peel and crush garlic to paste. Place garlic paste into cheese cloth and squeeze all the fluid into a spoon. Suck the fuild into the dropper. Lay down on the floor. Using the dropper, place 2-3 drops in each nostril. If you are using the optional towel, you will need it for your eyes, as this does an amazing job of clearing your tear ducts as well.

Anything within arms reach, such as pesky ass dogs and cats who innocently come sniffing around without regard for their personal safety, will get hurt ... you will be looking for something to throw, but noh mo' stubdy nose.

oops, just to clarify my posting about the pepper spray, I'm NOT recommending it, I just thought it was funny ... like a sort of nasal nuker or something. If anyone DOES try it, let me know how it goes and whether you needed your nasal lining replaced after.

Incidentally, and he won't thank me for telling you this but it's on topic, my husband just started a Neti Pot habit a few days ago, and says it's a real buzz..? Apparently, you have to get the salt ratio just so, too much or too little and it stings like billy-o.

Personally, I put Vicks Vaporub up my nose for congestion emergencies when having to record.

I can definitely attest to the salt ratio thing. Talk about sinus pain.

I use about 1/2 tsp salt to a cup of water in the neti pot. It's still rather an alarming experience, since my reflex reaction to salt water up the nose is to start swimming for the surface, but all in all it is benign and the effects are salutary.

Just go easy on your nose afterwards. Seizing yourself by the schnozz and honking into a hankie is not recommended. A gentle whoosh with both sides OPEN is much better.
