Haven't tryed that one Scott. I use the capsaicin heat patches for pain relief for my back & it often get really hot & burns & leaves a red mark for days when I take the patch off. . I would be concerned about putting capsaicin up my nose.

I use the xylitol nasal spray > works great.

Scott,
I tried this in desperation before Lyme treatment for chronic sinus and migraine issues. It did nothing but sting!

There is a new nasal spray by Zicam called Nasal Comfort. It's better than the salines, it's a "hypertonic".

You can use it all the time because it is a natural solution. It's pricey, but it's WORTH IT! You can find it at any drug store.

I used to make my own saline sprays...not any more.

I don't make money off this suggestion, just a recommendation for a good product for sinus problems.

I haven't had a sinus infection since I started using it.

If my maxillary sinuses get blocked, I like using Mucinex, an otc -- guaifenisen.

It seems to break up the congestion by wettening the tissues.

Scott,
Have you read about the use of Serrapeptase for sinus problems?

I have not. Dr. K suggested trying the Sinus Buster and so I have it on the way now....

Scott,
You can google for articles and lots of info.

Apparently the serrapeptase, a systemic enzyme like Wobenzym and Rechts Regulat, strips the biofilm, enabling the white blood cells to get to the sinus infection.
(Well, that's my interpretation, anyways.)

hey scott,
a guy at my local health food store highly recommended it. it burns like hell for a few seconds, but despite the pain, I got strangely addicted to it.

I feel like it might have been helping a bit
(with headaches and getting blood flow to the area) but now with this dry winter air I can't use it b/c it just burns way too much and ends up irritating me more.

so until the spring, I'll be using the xylitol spray (gudrun taught me how to make it - just saline, GSE, and xylitol!)

good luck, hope it works for you!!

I tried serrapeptase once. I think it was helpful, but I was taking many other things as well, which makes it difficult to know for sure how well it worked.

What is bio-film? Where does it come from? Is it limited to only the sinus cavaties?
