Uroboros Posted August 31, 2014 Hello I have been experiencing something lately and I wanted to share and see if anyone else has experienced it/ what it could mean. Short background- got some food poisoning + exhaustion and have been resting since. In the process, my nose became sensitive and started to drain clear fluid often. This is the main topic- lately my right nostril has become smaller/ closed. Like it is collapsing. My nose itself is also twisting/closing to the right. The right channel has always been the most blocked, as well. Anyone know of this kind of manifestation/ have experience it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrei Posted August 31, 2014 Yep it is an yin excess symptom. If you eat hot pepper the internal humidity will be expulsed and the nose will dry ultimately. I think the hot pepper especially if it is green color heats the liver which will open the right nostril. If you eat ginger the stomach-spleen-pancreas will heat and the left nostril will open. If the nose drain fluid is clear - yin excess, if the nose phlegm is white - yin excess. If the phlegm is yellow-green - yang excess(from stomach-s-p/liver. Also you can identify the internal energy by the color of the urine, if it is clear - yin, if it is yellow neutral, if it is dark (towards red or green color) it is yang. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chang Posted August 31, 2014 It may well be the case that there is an energetic reason for the blockage of your nose but it would probably do no harm to have it checked out by a Doctor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted August 31, 2014 Yes, when I did some strong detoxifying foods (like having a lot of raw garlic) I experienced the nostrils not working properly. Sooooooooo, these days I try my hardest not to eat things like garlic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
