I just wanted to share this, because it's a little cheapie that might just
help not only at home, but when you're out and about.

My sinuses have been so severe that recently I've had to 'steam breathe'
over the sink every half hour, just to keep my passages open. I have had a
headache for about two weeks and my teeth - well, they don't feel like
they're mine lets just say that, feels like a vice got 'em. Bascially, major
facial head / cheek / tooth pain.

Anyway, I digress. The problem with plonking the towel over the head and
grabbing the kettle / eucalyptus oil is that it leaves one looking like a
drowned rat, so shopping after steaming is simply not an option. ;) And what
about when you're invited to that Christmas dinner and you want some
relief??!!

Okay - by chance, today my daughter wanted to go into Woolworths - as I was
strolling around getting bored like men do, I noticed a 'Facial Beauty
Set' - which alongside the 'discreet beauty trimmer' and 'eyelash curler'
was a 'facial sauna'. Aha - the cogs started whirring. Yes - this is what I
call 'nasal steamer'.

It cost ?11, you plug it in, put it on max and stuff your face over it - and
it's a temporary steam breathing system. Its portable, it wont mess up your
hair ladies, and it doesn't leave you red like a beetroot like the sink /
towel combo. If you popped out for ten minutes at a function / party, no-one
would even know. Granted, it's not as hot as a kettle of water, but it's
gentle, it's hot enough and .... ITS ELEVEN QUID!!!!

And ladies ... you get a discreet beauty trimmer and eyelash curler thrown
in ;)

Gents - I had to buy this myself - take my word for it, ask the wife /
girlfriend to buy it for you, it's just not cool buying facial beauty stuff
in large boxes with lots of Christmas shoppers about.

I absolutely agree - when I got my Kaz steam inhaler ($38 at Wal-Mart,
probably cheaper now), it was the most radical thing I've ever done
about my sinus headaches...I was so impressed I was thinkig about
posting this so others could benefit.  You are doing a good thing by
spreading the word.
Too bad you can't always have it when you need it...
