I have heard and read that hot and spicy foods are good for clearing your nose during a cold and also if your sinuses get stuffed for any reason.
I have a rather low tolerance for hot, spicy food so I haven't been able to tell if eating it helps a stuffy nose. The times I have eaten hot peppers when I had a cold, I found that the spices made my nose run, but it tended to make it more stuffed afterwards.
I've read that hot spicy foods are good to unplug sinuses if you have allergies too, but again, maybe it's because I'm not used to eating them but, after I feel like my head is going to explode and my nose runs like mad, when the burning calms down my nose is still stuffed, even though it did seem to drain at the worst of the heat.
Has anyone here personally had their sinuses clear out and stay clear after eating hot peppers or eating something hot and spicy? Thanks for your responses.
