| Now for those of you who don't know what | | | | problems and found this was one of the best |
| Wasabi is, it is a Japanese horseradish as it's roots | | | | methods to get rid of a stuffed nose or sinus and |
| are used as a spice, (looks like a light green bird | | | | the need to have tissues to blow your nose was |
| terd)... Most often this is used to mix with soy | | | | needed... So if we had the beginning part of a |
| sauce for dipping sushi rolls into kind of a mustard | | | | stuffed nose or sinus, we would go have some |
| dip of sorts... | | | | lunch or supper at a local Japanese restaurant |
| Wasabi is not so much as "Hot", but gives kind of | | | | that had a sushi bar... We also noticed if you had a |
| the same sensation (if mixed heavy) as Vick's | | | | really clogged sinus, mixing up a heavy mix of it in |
| vapor rub, with out the mint, producing vapors | | | | the soy sauce the person sitting with you can |
| that stimulate the nasal and sinus passages and | | | | even hear the clogged sinus start to break up... |
| behind the eyes and can be quite painful if mixed | | | | It's been years since college, and the Wasabi |
| very strong, though it generally only lasts a few | | | | Challenge between the two of us, but since then |
| seconds... In small amounts sit is very tasty, but if | | | | have learned that to break up a stuffed nose or |
| you can't smell you also have problems tasting | | | | sinus at the beginning stage or even at it's |
| things too and found Wasabi to help with problem | | | | heaviest part, having a dish of Sushi with a mix of |
| sinuses... | | | | Wasabi in it is one of the best natural ways to |
| While in college I learned to really enjoy sushi with | | | | get rid of the nose and sinus problem... |
| a friend of mine, Doug "Slago" Holland... We would | | | | Often we would say after a mouth full, "Wow |
| have a kind of stupid male challenge, lets call it a | | | | what a Wasabi Hit" as we would have tears |
| challenge of endurance of sorts, the Wasabi | | | | running down out faces and if we had colds or |
| Challenge- and what we would call a "Wasabi-Hit" | | | | sinus problems would also need to blow our |
| as I seemed to hit or kind of a burning feeling | | | | noses... So each time I enjoy sushi, I think back to |
| behind the eyes to the point of producing tears... | | | | those funny but good times with my close college |
| We would be given small bowl is to mix the soy | | | | friend Doug "Slugo" Holland and smile thinking of |
| sauce ad the Wasabi into for dipping, so the two | | | | his first introducing me to this great food and the |
| of us would try to mix a batch that we both had | | | | help it has given me over the years with the |
| to endure... | | | | beginning of a cold or a stuffed sinus... |
| We started off just enjoying this new kind of | | | | So next time you have a runny nose or your |
| food, but suddenly we noticed mixing it heavy | | | | sinuses start to get stuffed up, try going to a |
| would cause a little bit of pain for a couple | | | | sushi bar or stop and get a pre-made sushi dish |
| seconds, and we also noticed it would clear up a | | | | at your local grocery store that has some Wasabi |
| stuffed nose... We both have some sinus | | | | and soy sauce to help get rid of your problem. |
