Sex can cure your cold?

Forget paracetamol, the treatment for nasal congestion is at your fingertips.

As reported by the Guardian, a researcher at Tabriz Medical University in Iran wrote a study on a new strategy for the treatment of nasal congestion in mature men.

"Ejaculation can be used as a potential treatment of nasal congestion because its emission phase provides a sympathetic stimulation and subsequent vasoconstriction and nasal decongestion. Also, the refractory period serves as a sympathetic reservoir and maintains the decongestive state for a considerable while."

And what about the dosage? "It can be done time-to-time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses or masturbations depending on the severity of the symptoms."

The study does not say whether there is a related or parallel treatment for women.
