It has the effects of moistening the intestines, promoting bowel movements, detoxifying and promoting tissue regeneration, and is also suitable for symptoms such as dry and cracked skin. The key to treating dry nose lies in the method of dripping sesame oil. Many people think that when sesame oil is dripped into the nose, it will flow from the trachea to the esophagus, and the smell is very strange, so they are unwilling to try it. In fact, this is because the method of use is incorrect.

Experts suggest that patients can lie on the bed with their heads hanging over the edge of the bed with their nostrils facing the sky. At this time, if sesame oil is dripped in, it will not enter the esophagus but flow to the sinuses. This is the key to curing the disease. The sinuses are hidden on both sides of the nasal cavity. The area where sesame oil works is roughly above the eye sockets, forming a T-zone with the nose, so after applying the sesame oil, it is best to gently pat and massage the eye sockets, which will help absorption and promote treatment.

We know that dripping sesame oil into the nose can relieve nasal congestion.
