Scientists point to: pulling is healthier than blowing your nose...
"You finally cleaning the nose!" - A phrase that every child gets to listen to ad nauseam. But not everything that is good nursery is also of health. According to a study of U.S. physicians are in fact the sneezing transported mass excitation in the wrong direction, which can lead to inflammation of the sinuses and middle ear. Professor Dr. Jack Gwaltney and Dr. Birgit Winther from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have placed volunteers in the fine print probes nose and then the measured when coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose resulting pressure. The result: Each mustache was the pressure in the nose to rise to 8,800 Pascal in the air. This pressure is sufficient to press one milliliter of nasal mucus into the sinuses. That's when sneezing or coughing resulting pressure on the other hand only a tenth as high. The two U.S. scientists therefore recommend to blow one's nose to no more colds, but to blot the dripping nose only.

The correct brushing can be illustrated by a hunting rifle doppelläufi gene explain: Each run has to be shot separately. If, when blowing your nose one nostril is always open, no high pressure can build up in the nasal cavity.
Blowing your nose is a “Central European rudeness," agrees Professor Dr. Wolfgang Elies, head of the ENT clinic Bielefeld. He recommends: "Anyone who is prone to sinus infections or has undergone surgery so should rather give up the handkerchief." Much more favorable in children is the most popular method of cleaning the nose anyway that is pulling up.
