In this video, chiropractor Dr. Alan Mandell demonstrates an acupressure technique to open up blocked sinuses and restore nasal airflow quickly.

Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique often used in conjunction with acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through “meridians” in the body.

By stimulating acupressure points with our fingers, explains Dr. Mandell, we increase the flow of life energy throughout our body and into our brain, causing neuro-physiological and hormonal changes, which in turn create balance and homeostasis.

These changes open the eustachian tubes, reducing pressure in the ears and sinuses.
