Smells and your sex life
continued from page 2
Single or not, a blocked nose can impede the detection of pheromones, a major factor in becoming aroused. Kissing, too, becomes a problem, as it makes it even harder to breathe. Plus, there's no chance of picking up those lovely scalp odours. Then, at the end of the day, a blocked nose can make things worse still, by causing the person to snore.
Keeping a clear head
All the more reason for keeping the nose clear. This is quite simple. Blocked noses are caused by the swelling of the small vessels in the nasal cavity, which release fluid. This is compounded by the resulting difficulty in draining the mucus, which all healthy bodies produce. Treatments like new Non-Drowsy Sudafed Congestion Relief capsules* work by allowing those blood vessels to return to normal, enabling mucus to drain way more freely. For a clear head, trust Sudafed.
Our sense of smell is just too important to ignore. All the ways in which scents influence us demonstrate that the nose truly is a wonderful organ.
See www.coughandcoldadvice.com for more information on how to avoid nasal congestion.
*contains Phenylepherine hydrochloride
Always read the label. Ask the pharmacist for advice.
