Advice of the Day: Treating a Cold

Advice of the Day: Treating a Cold

Stop your nose running by inserting a slug up each nostril.

the sage

A runny nose is one of the most persistent and irritating symptoms of a cold. Tissues offer only temporary relief, and dignity is quickly abandoned. The Wise Sage proposes a more… organic solution.

Slugs, being naturally slow-moving and moisture-loving, are ideally suited to the task of regulating nasal flow. By carefully placing one slug in each nostril, you create a living barrier that both blocks and manages unwanted movement. It’s nature solving a problem it never intended to solve.

For best results, select slugs of equal size to ensure balance and symmetry. The Sage recommends a calm approach during insertion, as sudden movements may encourage independent decision-making on the part of the slugs.

If questioned, simply explain that you are “trying something holistic.” This will prevent most follow-up enquiries.

As always, The Sage accepts no responsibility for horrified reactions, unexpected sensations, or needing to explain yourself to a medical professional.
