Yes, this is my 3rd entry in a row, same silly topic, but I have to post a follow up. Last week I found a few things to help with my sinus infection from a website and from another blogger. I thought, what could it hurt?, especially since I couldn't see a doctor until Monday, unless I wanted to go to quick care, which is a fate near unto death in my eyes....So I tried it all. I had a towel over my head inhaling a pot of steaming apple cider vinegar and was pouring salt water through my nose. I looked ridiculous and felt like I should have been sucking on tree bark next, but I didn't....but I was so desperate that I would have if I thought it would help. On Saturday I irrigated my nose with water mixed with 5 tiny drops of GSE (grapefruit seed extract) which kills bacteria. Yesterday, I went in to my Dr. appointment and waited 1.5 hours for the Dr. to tell
me I had a little post nasal drip . I was shocked! Hail to the Neti Pot, GSE, ACV, H2O, Sodium and some guidance from above! If anyone ever needs advice on a Sinus Infection from you know where, you know where to ask. I promise, this is the last post on the subject, which I know you'll be grateful for, unless of course you get a sinus infection and want some relief...
For a Neti Pot Demo click here...I enjoyed it until 1:28. If you don't like to hear his potty mouth, stop it at 2:20...

Dr. Oz did a thing about the sinuses on Oprah- very interesting the whole Neti pot, but obviously it works huh?! I've had one sinus infection and it was combined with pink eye, and having my wisdom teeth out the day before- it was the worst illness ever! I had no idea why my teeth and head hurt so bad, but my mom informed me of sinus infections- I called my OB- it was my only doc at the time and he gave me an antibiotic, I know it was weird i called him- wrong area of the body, but he had the power of perscriptions and I was desperate!! Glad you are feeling better though!
Heh... love the picture :) I don't know if I could do it... I'm really weird about my nose and stuff that comes out of it. EW! Sorry... but hey, I guess if it really works, then it might be worth a try... maybe... someday... :)
