For anybody who has had chronic sinus infections, I have some advice: Try rubbing kimchi juice inside your nostrils.
The bacteria colonizes the nose well.
This is coming from someone who has a humidifier, did nasal rinses, bought various menthols products to rinse nose, stayed in a room with 99% humidity for hours a day, took antibiotics, sprayed xylitol nasal spray, took lozenge probiotics.
Barely made a dent.
The bacteria found in kimchi seems to slowly spread deeper and deeper into your nasal cavity.
I don’t want to hypothesize too much on why it works. I’ve discovered that most of the time we really don’t understand the causal mechanisms. And even if we do, years later the explanation changes.
I’ll just simply say a lot of people have suffered from chronic sinus infections and have found relief from this route.
But if kimchi juice isn’t your thing, you can order the actual probiotic online. Just search “sinus infection probiotic”.
If you do decide to use kimchi, make sure it has garlic and doesn’t have vinegar. The garlic promotes the growth of the specific bacteria you need while the vinegar destroys it.
