How to safely blow your nose

Apparently most of us don’t blow our hooters properly. This not only makes it more uncomfortable if you have a cold – but can rupture blood vessels and even force air into the middle ear. Next time you have the sniffles:

• Place one finger against your nostril, and apply pressure.
• Take a breath, then gently blow the other nostril into a tissue.
• Do the same on the other side.
• Wash your hands, to avoid passing germs onto others.

This pack of organic cotton reusable tissues makes a nice little zero waste gift to yourself or others. Organic cotton is kinder to the earth, farmers, water and wildlife. And as fibres are not treated with chemicals, they tend to last longer after repeated washing.
