Drain Sinus & Clear Stuffy Nose in 1 Move | Created by Dr. Mandell

Summary

Dr. Alan Mandel introduces a quick and effective technique to alleviate sinus congestion and stuffy nose. By stimulating the zygomatic bone and pulling the ears to open eustachian tubes, the method aims to reduce pain, tinnitus, and vertigo associated with sinus issues. The demonstration includes applying pressure under the cheekbones and ear manipulation, followed by a deep breath and head tilt to trigger a reflex for instant sinus and nasal drainage. Viewers are encouraged to practice this technique and share their experiences.

Takeaways

• 🧬 Viruses, bacteria, and pollen can cause congestion in the sinuses.
• 😷 Congestion can lead to sinus pain and a stuffy nose.
• 👃 The paranasal sinuses are a focus for relief, including the ethmoidal, sphenoidal, frontal, and maxillary sinuses.
• 🦴 The zygomatic bone, or cheekbone, is targeted for sinus relief.
• 👂 Eustachian tubes connect the nasal region to the middle ear and can become congested, causing pain and other symptoms.
• 🤕 Congestion in the eustachian tubes can lead to ear pain, clicking, tinnitus, and vertigo.
• 👌 A technique is presented for immediate sinus drainage and relief of a stuffy nose.
• 🔟 The technique involves pressing under the cheekbone and pulling the ear to stimulate drainage.
• 🤲 Holding this position for 10 seconds is recommended for each side.
• 👃 After the initial technique, working the nasal region by squeezing the nose and holding the breath can further aid in opening the sinuses.
• 🌟 The technique should be repeated as necessary and shared with others for its effectiveness.

Q & A

What is the main purpose of the technique demonstrated by Dr. Mandela?

The main purpose of the technique is to provide instant sinus drainage and to open up a stuffy nose for relief from congestion and sinus-related discomfort.

What are the paranasal sinuses and how many are there?

The paranasal sinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull that are connected to the nasal cavity. There are four paranasal sinuses: the ethmoidal, sphenoidal, frontal, and maxillary sinuses.

Why are the majority of sinus conditions experienced behind the cheekbones and in the frontal sinus?

The majority of sinus conditions are experienced in these areas because the frontal sinus and the area behind the cheekbones are common locations for sinus congestion and inflammation.

What is the zygomatic bone and how is it involved in the technique?

The zygomatic bone, also known as the cheekbone, is stimulated in the technique to help open up the sinuses and promote drainage.

What are the eustachian tubes and why are they important in this context?

The eustachian tubes connect the back of the nasal region to the middle ear. They are important because when congested, they can cause pain, clicking sounds, tinnitus, and vertigo.

How does the technique involve the eustachian tubes?

The technique involves pulling on the ears to open up the eustachian tubes, which helps alleviate symptoms associated with congestion in these tubes.

What is the exact procedure for the technique as demonstrated by Dr. Mandela?

The procedure involves placing the thumb under the cheekbone and pushing in and out, while simultaneously pulling the lower part of the ear straight out and holding for 10 seconds on each side. Then, the nasal region is worked by squeezing the nose, taking a deep breath, holding it, and leaning the head back.

What should one feel after performing the technique?

After performing the technique, one should feel some type of drainage or a sensation of the sinuses opening up, providing immediate relief.

How often should this technique be performed?

The technique should be performed as often as necessary to alleviate sinus congestion and discomfort.

What is the reflex action that the deep breath and head back position are supposed to stimulate?

The deep breath and head-back position are meant to stimulate a reflex from the brain to the sinus and nasal area, promoting opening and drainage.
