What's wrong with dry nose and throat

When the seasons change or there are regional issues, the air may become dry. Sometimes the nose and throat may become dry and may even cause nosebleeds. These are external factors. Internal body imbalances and certain abnormalities may also cause dry and uncomfortable nose and throat. What if the weather is moist and comfortable but you still have a dry nose and throat? And how can it be solved?

If the nose and throat are dry and there is no relief for a long time, it may be caused by internal heat or Sjögren's syndrome, which belongs to the rheumatology and immunology department. It is recommended that you first go to the rheumatology and immunology department to rule out Sjögren's syndrome. If Sjögren's syndrome is ruled out and the internal heat is strong, you can take heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, or you can use Chinese medicine for conditioning. You should eat a light diet and more fruits, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.

What to do if your nose is dry

1. Pull the Yintang acupoint

We all know that autumn is a season that is prone to dryness. So what methods should we use to effectively relieve dry nose when it occurs? Here I would like to introduce one to you: pinch the Yintang acupoint: The Yintang acupoint is located on the face of the human body, at the midpoint of the line connecting the two eyebrows. Use your bent thumb and index finger to gently pinch the Yintang acupoint and rub it gently and slowly until you feel numbness and swelling in the area. Generally, knead for 2 minutes. Clearing the head and improving eyesight, unblocking the nose and opening the orifices, pulling the Yintang acupoint can increase the proliferation ability of the nasal mucosal epithelial cells, promote mucus secretion, keep the nasal cavity moist, and stimulate the olfactory cells to make the sense of smell more sensitive, thus preventing colds and respiratory diseases.

2. Hot water fumigation

When this happens, we can drink hot water, because hot water will form hot steam when it is in the cup, so at this time we can use this method to effectively relieve the pain, let the water vapor fumigate the nasal cavity, and take deep breaths towards the cup mouth for about 2 minutes.

3. Drink water in small sips

When drinking water, we can drink it in small sips and not drink too much, otherwise the body will not be able to absorb it effectively. Drinking too many gulps of water is like a sudden heavy rain. Especially for people with poor circulation and blocked meridians, it can cause local "flooding" in the body, also known as edema.

4. Recommended dietary therapy: Double silver lily soup

Put a piece of Tremella, 5-8 ginkgo nuts, 5 grams of lily, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar or honey into a thermos cup at the same time, and soak it in water above 70 degrees (the temperature of hot water in the water dispenser in our office) for about 1 hour, and you will have a cup of warm and moist drink. This drink has the effect of moisturizing and promoting salivation. It can prevent and treat sore throat, hoarseness, dry nasal cavity, chapped lips, etc. It is a healthy drink of choice in winter.

Tips for Relieving Dry Nose

1. Drink more water to relieve dry nose

If you feel your nose is dry, you should drink more water to stimulate your nerves and strengthen your body's circulation regulation. Replenishing the body with water at the right time and in the right amount is a very important part of health preservation in winter. It is simple and effective. It is recommended that you eat more citrus fruits, because citrus fruits with strong sour taste are very effective in treating dry nose when eaten with honey.

There is also a very simple way to avoid dry nose in winter, which is to pour a cup of hot water, then inhale deeply into the cup to let the steam fumigate your nasal cavity. Do it for about 5 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is also very effective in preventing nosebleeds. You might as well give it a try.
