My sinuses have been misbehaving for such a long time that I have become used to the misery (“Keep Suffering,” May 3, 2013). It all started about two years ago. Although my nose gets clogged up pretty badly from time to time, I am managing to live with it the rest of the time. But I have noticed lately that the rhino horn I have been using regularly for more than a year and a half now has actually been quite helpful with my sinuses (“Rhino Horn,” May 14, 2013). And ever more so. I rinse my nose at least twice a day, but there are days when I rinse it even five times. The sea salt in the rinse seems to be quite helpful. But it took me a while to realize that what really does the trick is regular rinsing rather than anything else. And this is the gist of any yoga practice. It must be regular and it must be performed for a long period of time. Not surprisingly, it was a Norwegian teacher of yoga who brought the rhino horn to the western world. And regular practice is the key to enlightenment, not only stuffed sinuses.
