Clear Your Sinuses Fast with These Simple Techniques by Dr. Mandell

Dr. Mandell has developed several quick techniques to clear sinus congestion and open nasal passages that work within seconds to minutes. His methods focus on manipulating pressure points and using specific breathing exercises to encourage natural drainage.

## Primary Technique

The main method involves a two-handed approach targeting both sides of the face. You place your thumb underneath the cheekbone and push in and out while using your other hand to grab the lower part of your ear and pull it straight out. This technique should be held for 10-15 seconds on each side and helps open the eustachian tubes while increasing sinus drainage.

## Advanced Breathing Method

A more intensive technique combines the pressure point method with a breath-holding exercise. After performing the cheekbone and ear manipulation, you take a deep breath, pinch your nose, and tilt your head back as far as possible while holding your breath for as long as comfortable. This creates a proprioception change that sends a nasal reflex to the sinuses, encouraging them to open.

## Alternative Pressure Points

Dr. Mandell also demonstrates using deep pressure underneath the clavicle in the center, pushing straight up for up to 30 seconds. This technique provides another pathway to sinus relief through different pressure point activation.

## Expected Results

Most people should feel immediate drainage or dripping after performing these techniques. The methods are designed to work within 60 seconds and can be repeated multiple times throughout the day as needed. Dr. Mandell emphasizes that these are safe, natural techniques that don’t require medication and can provide relief from sinus congestion, allergies, and cold symptoms.
