Waterboarding yourself

[North of 60]

1000% on only using distilled H2O.

Two more suggestions...one is heat it up in the microwave to closer to body temp, and second, because it is buffered saline (sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate), it makes a perfect eyewash for when irritants get in one's eye.

Yep. Definitely an acquired skill from decades of suffering...the only reason i tried it.

A bit irritated that none of the several ENTs i saw never ever recommended it.

Long time surfer. Nasal injection of gallons of water is routine. I use Vicks Sinex Saline Nasal Rinse occasionally. Non-event.

Netty pot is legit for sinus and even ears, didn’t think about for breath?

Try a tongue scraper too.

I pressure wash my nose nightly with (distilled H2O) the buffered saline of NeilMed and it is far superior to oral antihistamines, decongestants and antibiotics for sinus infections.

Great stuff and initially quite gross getting the gunk out.

You’re gross

Just a heads-up for anyone who doesn’t know:

Afrin is addicting, and regular repeat use will worsen your problem.

Nasonex, brother truckers.

So, stomach acid issues can contribute significantly to sinus issues. Something to be aware of.
Yard work can also be a very big contributer as can time in the woods. I wear a mask for some of the landscape work.

I used something like this on my daughter just about daily because she was so snotty. Turned out she needed ear tubes for her sinuses to clear and since she got that procedure hasn't had any issues
