Home remedies

Here is a picture of my husband (who wants to remain anonymous) preparing a mixture of tea tree, eucalyptus and olive oil to go into the tunnels of his clogged nose. Being the supportive wife, I wanted to document the different remedies so we would remember which ones worked and which ones didn't. 

Nate, err I mean "Pablo"  had taken an ethnobotany class a while back and remembered his professor saying this was the best for clogged sinuses but it burned like crazy when you first drop it in.  

After coaxing himself for about ten minutes he finally dropped it in his nose and screamed! Just kidding, no screaming, but not the immediate "pop" he was expecting. He did say it helped a little though, so this is good. 

Before this oil experiment he tried eating a jalapeno, however it wasn't hot enough to work.   Perhaps next time I should buy him jabanero(sp) peppers instead. 

Poor guy and his dang allergies, so glad the girls don't have this problem. I cant imagine Charly eating a jalapeno, she wont even blow her nose when she has boogies.
