If you suffer frequently from head colds it is advisable to sniff up calcium powder (Urticalcin) from time to time, in the way people used to take snuff years ago. When the air is cold it is also beneficial to lubricate the nasal passages regularly with a good lanolin cream. A reliable choice for this purpose is Bioforce Cream; it may even prevent a head cold from developing if applied early enough. When you walk too fast or run, you do not usually breathe through the nose. Hence you should try to slow down, at least enough to allow you to continue breathing through the nose. This will also be of benefit to the heart, since there will be less of a strain placed on it.

Nasal polyps may restrict the proper intake of air through the nose. Even though these growths are benign, their presence can be a source of great discomfort. The only effective cure for them is Teucrium marum verum (cat thyme). But should they not yield to this treatment, surgery would be indicated.

First of all, the nose is designed in such a way that the mucous membranes keep dust and bacteria from entering the body, pro­vided, of course, that we breathe in and out through the nose and that it is not blocked. It is true that we can also breathe through the mouth rather than the nose, but this will make us lose the benefit of the built-in screening device, exposing us to a higher risk of catching colds and infections. Mouth-breathing poses a definite threat to the throat, the bronchial passages and the lungs.

It is interesting to note that the nostrils react to pleasant and unpleasant odours by a simple dilation or contraction of the walls, thus increasing or decreasing the flow of air. Strangely enough, the nose walls (conchae) also react to cold feet. When the feet are cold the walls contract, become cold and dry and cause the glands to stop functioning, so that dust and bacteria are no longer filtered out. It is easy to see why a cold will almost inevitably result, followed by catarrh or a runny nose. You can now understand why it is important to avoid getting cold feet and inhaling bacteria by breathing through the mouth. If the mucous membranes are functioning properly they are able to destroy all cold germs enter­ing through the nose. It is therefore a necessary requirement for good health to cultivate the habit of breathing through the nose at all times.
