Sinus Relief Two
In the 
first edition of Sinus Relief I talked about cleaning out the nasal passages with the neti pot. T
he next step is to rinse the nasopharynx. I’ve been doing it every day now for a week so no need to tell that this is the most disgusting thing you’ve ever done. Just get in the shower the first few times until you get the hang of it. The rewards are worth it! Breath easier, clear the irritating allergens lining your nasal passage, and soothe those inflamed sinuses.
In a clean dropper bottle add 1/4 cup warm water to 1/8 tsp. sea salt (must use sea salt, table salt with further dry and irritate your sinuses).
The key here is the water must be salty to the taste, that is to say saltier than your nasal passages. Why? The power of osmosis–rather than absorb the saline solution into your sinuses, you want your sinus tissue to release their “gunk” into the saline solution and be carried away.
Tip head back and insert 1-2 dropper(s) of saline solution in each nostril. Keep head tilted
back until saline solution works it way through to the nasophrynx at that back of the throat. The solution should run through the nasal cavity and out the mouth.
Optional: add 10-15 drops of goldenseal or echinacea to the solution for added antimicrobial action.
