Subject: RE: How do I get rid of this congestion?!?
Wow! Lots of good suggestions. I did the eucalyptus oil in the shower this morning and that helped for about two hours; now I am back to the same ol' thing. Sushi for lunch sounds good - I like hot spicy stuff so I have thought of that. May also go the guaifenesin route since the pseudoephedrine has the rotten side effect of making my throat very dry.

I wonder, what would happen if I added eucalyptus to the boiling onions?

Has anyone ever used one of those nasal irrigation pots like they have at health food stores? It's supposed to be an old ayurvedic concept or something. I don't like having water up my nose but I hear it really works.
