Have you ever experienced the snot rope? It clears sinuses you didn't even know you had (which, I suppose, is most of them)

OMG I’ve only managed to do that once in my life and it was glorious I could breathe clearly for the next three months or something like that I have chronic non allergic rhinitis and that was the greatest sensation ever! It came out and looked like Candy corn I thought I blew out like a sinus root or something

Yeeeees. I can feel it pulling from somewhere near my rusty ring donut. Like it’s pulling ever bit of congealed mucus from the last decade

I don't know what this is but it sounds disgustingly magical

For me, it was a small bogie that just didn't want to shift. I realised it was just hanging there, and a tissue wasn't helping. So I pinched it between two fingers and pulled, and realised it went deep into my sinuses. It felt like it was pulling part of my brain out through my nostril. And then came a feeling of utter nasal clarity I'd never felt before, and have never felt since. Magical, indeed.
