My name is Rachel and I am addicted to Vicks.<BR/><BR/>"Hi Rachel."<BR/><BR/>Ok, in all seriousness, I do indeed love the smell of Vicks, and therefore, absoluletly ADORE the Shower Soothers! Has anyone tried these? The only brand I've seen is Suda-Care but they are tablets you throw in the bottom of the tub while you are taking your normally schuduled shower. Close your bathroom doors and don't turn on the fan. Soon the smell of Vicks will be pouring into your nose relieving your symptoms! It is awesome. <BR/><BR/>But, they aren't super cheap. If I remember correctly, they are about 6.50 for a box of 3. But if you ask me, totally worth it. <BR/><BR/>That's my 2 cents for today! I love your blog and read it daily up here in St. Cloud. :)<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better soon!<BR/>Rachel (Parker's Mom)Rachel/Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507689062642342542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-56315146097205896972008-02-22T07:38:00.000-06:002008-02-22T07:38:00.000-06:00You don't need a neti pot.

You can't smack my upside the head virtually.)<BR/><BR/>In the spirit of the prior Fantasy Gifts post, there is an old wives tale (which appears to be true) that orgasms can actually clear up stuffed noses/sinuses. Really.<BR/><BR/>Another less pleasant option is Habanero Peppers. Rated WAY HIGH up on the Scofield Heat Index, which is how peppers are measured. You could actually wipe some Habanero juice directly into your sinuses, which will indeed clear them out (and cause them to leak continuously for days as well as tingle) and which can also cause asthma attacks. So there is a disclaimer that goes with that option.<BR/><BR/>Personally? I like baked potatoes with butter, hot cocoa and some kind of trashy magazine, as well as a lovely hot bath. <BR/><BR/>And remember - Purell doesn't cure cancer or colds, it has merely been known to cause spontaneous remission in lab animals. I am sure El Jefe will elaborate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
