I’d never heard of this, so thank you! I’m not very excited by the prospect of surgery, and all of the other “treatments” I’ve been recommended are steeped deeply in woo, or pretty obviously a bad idea, or both. (E.g. colloidal silver.)
A little web searching even turns up an NIH study. The abstract indicates promising results with the only likely downside being a possible case of minor irritation.

- aantix 5y agoThere’s much less precision to my method. I use this irrigation bottle. https://www.amazon.com/Neilmed-Sinus-Rinse-Starter-packets/dp/B000RJGB5C/ https://www.amazon.com/Neilmed-Sinus-Rinse-Starter-packets/d... A drop of J&J shampoo. I rinse both nostrils while in the shower. Burns slightly. But after about a day, the irritation goes away and my sinuses feel much better. I use to do this much more frequently, daily, but after a couple of weeks, I found it’s no longer needed as much.
