Sharing a simple remedy for rhinitis that doesn't require medication, just smelling it can treat rhinitis. Many nasal friends have used it with very good results, and it is said to have cured many people, never failing.

It is said that a child who suffers from rhinitis all year round once rushed to the mountain with a flock of geese to graze. The starving geese saw all kinds of grass to eat, except for a kind of fresh and tender grass that they deliberately avoided, refusing to eat it. The child led the geese to the grass, and the flock only lowered their heads to smell, then ran away again.

The child found it very curious and plucked a stalk of grass to examine. It had a pungent smell, but the nose felt very comfortable. After sneezing a few times, the nose immediately cleared up.

So he collected a lot of grass to take home. When his nose was uncomfortable, he would smell it. In this way, he gradually cured his rhinitis, and the boy was very happy.

Geese do not eat this grass, which is a common herbal medicine seen everywhere in rural areas. Whether in mountain fields or by the roadside and riverbanks, it can be found. Seemingly an ordinary herb, it actually contains great medicinal value, especially effective in treating rhinitis.

Why is it called "Goose-Refusing Grass"? Because geese refuse to eat this grass, people named it Goose-Refusing Grass. It is also called Stone Coriander or Earth Coriander. Its rhizome is slender with many branches, sprawling on the ground, making it easy to grow and reproduce.

Goose-Refusing Grass has a spicy taste and warm nature, not just ordinary spiciness, but very pungent, with a strong irritating smell. It can disperse wind and cold, open nasal passages, relieve cough, detoxify, and stop itching.

The spicy flavor enters the lungs, can promote lung qi, drive out cold, and open the orifices of the nose, allowing nasal passages to clear. When lung qi is not released, it stagnates in the nasal passages, causing nasal congestion, stuffy nose, runny nose, and even inability to smell fragrances or odors.

The Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Geese eat this herb, which reaches the head and brain, treating headaches and eye diseases, opening nasal passages and reducing swelling; internally reaching the lung meridian to treat phlegm malaria, dispersing abscesses and swellings; its ability to eliminate obstructions is especially miraculous."

The effects of Magnolia Flower and Cocklebur in treating rhinitis are also good, but compared to Goose-Refusing Grass, they are minor.

The method is very simple: prepare powdered Goose-Refusing Grass, mix with Vaseline to form a paste, and apply it inside the nose with a cotton swab daily. If there are nasal polyps, apply more at the polyp site. Twice a day, for a period of time, stubborn rhinitis or nasal polyps may be cured.

Of course, it can also be taken orally: brew 10 grams of Goose-Refusing Grass into tea, or prepare 10 grams of fresh Goose-Refusing Grass and 10 grams of honeysuckle leaves. Wash both herbs thoroughly, then crush them in a spoon, and squeeze out the juice with clean gauze. Dip a cotton swab in the juice and apply inside the nose.

Whether it is chronic or acute rhinitis caused by cold, Goose-Refusing Grass can handle it.
