How to Get Rid of a Stuffy Nose in 1 Minute

Pinch your nose and walk fast with your blocked nose pinched and your mouth closed all the time. (You need to accumulate CO2 to dilate arteries and arterioles). You will probably be able to make around 20-30 steps. While walking, you should hold your breath until a strong urge to breathe. Then sit down with your spine totally straight and focus on your breath. After you release your nose, you need to keep the mouth closed (no gasping for air) and start reduced breathing (breathing little bit less than before this exercise). How? Instead of taking a big (or deep) inhalation take a smaller one, but using the diaphragm only, and then relax all muscles for exhalation, especially the upper chest and all other respiratory muscles. Make another shorter inhalation and again relax. With each inhalation, practice this reduced breathing while remaining relaxed.

 Your purpose is to maintain air hunger (shortage of air) for about 1-2 min with total relaxation of body muscles. It is normal that your breathing will be frequent during this reduced breathing (or shallow breathing).

If later your breathing becomes heavy, your nose will get blocked again. Then you can apply this remedy again and again.
