Reader offers home remedies

DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your column in the daily paper, and I would like to share some suggestions with your readers that have helped me over the years.

First, Kellogg’s All-Bran Bran Buds can help fight constipation. Second, for minor sinus congestion, facial massage can help. For serious congestion, try chiropractic massage.

DEAR READER: Thank you for the suggestions. Bran is a part of my colon cocktail and is a great way to add fiber to the diet, thus preventing constipation.

As for your massage suggestions, I assume it works similarly to acupressure, which can relieve symptoms for some patients.
