So the other day, when Juha and I were both still a little sick, Juha came across something he calls the Rhinoceros [Sarvikuono in Finnish]. I was a little uneasy with the whole idea but I basically decided to just suck it up and try it.
What you do is fill it with sea salt and warm water and let it dissolve. The salt is supposed to be proportionate to the ratio of salt in your blood stream. You then hold your chin diagonally downward and tilt the Rhino up your nose. Breathe through your mouth and you'll slowly feel the salt water flow up through your nose and out your other nostril. It's a pretty weird feeling. You have to blow your nose 4 different ways to get the water out but I felt pretty good after!
Last week, after this little ditty, I saw the Rhino at the health food store so I guess it's just a natural way of cleaning out your nose haha. [Although it's best not used with a stuffy nose.] So yes, just something a little different.
