The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
Jal Neti or nose irrigation changed my life and is one thing I recommend. I have a partially deviated septum, stomahc issues that cause acid reflux to hit my throat so I get a sore throat very routinely. Jal Neti helps me avoid all that and chronic sinus issues. I do it daily at least once, upon waking up when I am healthy and it is the one thing from ayurveda I vouch for.
Do get chcked by a doctor though if it persists. A friend of mine had issues with his own blocked nose for months and due to some calcification and viruses, he now has to surgically get some of it fixed. Do let us know if the suggestions here work out. I would be happy to help you with irrigation stuff.
