Ask Dr. Barre

Hello Dr. Barre,

I realize when we sleep for example, on our right side, then the right nostril will close off a bit. what if I notice that one side (the left) tends to close at night whether on the left or right or back more so that the other side. During the day it doesn’t completely close, but is less open than the right. This became noticeable a few years back following a cleanse (2017) which made me wonder if all exits weren’t open enough, then things settled somewhere else? Such as the nasal passages? It’s not gone away and I started to snore a bit in 2019 and I did not before. Neti Pot helps a bit and years ago (2019) I did try a very tiny bit of grapefruit seed extract in the Neti Pot. I found this article years ago, which I’m sure you’ve read by Dr. Wight. What can be done and is it Helicobacter pylori? Never had gastric type symptoms of it, but have wondered if my husband could have it. I haven’t seen doctors since 2015, but before that an ENT did say I had a deviated septum in the left nostril, but no other issues. That everyone pretty much has one. I don’t see or feel anything in my nostril. I wasn’t having these issues when I saw the ENT. Any thoughts or recommendations as to what it might be and if anything works? When I read this, I didn’t know where to obtain a few of Dr. Wight’s recommendations. Many thanks for any thoughts you have. I’m sure others experience something like this at times.

Polyps shouldn’t be an issue, but gently massage the inner nostril with some Comfrey infused Castor Oil every night. Just get some comfrey leaves and place them in a ball jar with Castor Oil and let them sit … no need to ever remove the leaves and your ready to go in about 2 weeks. 1 part leaves to 2 parts Comfrey ie. 2 oz Castor Oil for every 1 oz leaves. Other than that I’d highly recommend: https://buteykoclinic.com/

@barre , thank you! Not sure I have them, but I will try in case I do! Not sure what else it could be. How simple! Must be why in the past comfrey had so much opposition! Thank you so very much!
