I have had chronic sinus problems for years and was taking a prescription for it, which eventually stopped helping at all.

Since July, I have been going to a natural healing doctor, who has practically cured my sinus problems. I have been taking multiple nutritional supplements he recommended and have only had one sinus incident so far (after a lot of rain, which spurs tons of mushrooms in the woods around our house), but it went away on its own after 4 or 5 days.

I also have been taking my son to this doctor, for ADHD-type issues. His school work has drastically improved and his focus is much better, and he's only been taking supplements for 7 weeks. We are amazed at the results.

I highly recommend you find a reputable healer. I found mine at a health fair, where he totally blew my mind by telling me I had asthma issues, bladder issues and a heart irregularity, without my giving him any health history! He was spot-on with all of those things. The best part is it's non-invasive and all natural.

Issues for neti users to consider in selecting the best one are :
1) Where the neti pot will be used?
A bathroom, shower or kitchen area with hard surfaces could result in a ceramic neti pot shattering when dropped.
Does the neti pot fit comfortably against the nose and provide a good seal so that water does not drip out where it should not? Are there extra parts that can be misplaced?
2) Consider the design of the tip of the neti pot, a nipple shape tip accommodates a wide variety of nostril shapes and sizes compared to a straight tip with a hole at the end. Does the neti pot fit comfortably in hand and is designed so that when in use water does not inadvertently spill where it should not?
A large metal neti pot may be difficult to hold when full of water.
3) How much liquid does the neti pot hold?
Some only hold 6 oz of liquid while others hold 8 oz (one cup).
We are the USA distributors of the Rhino Horn neti pot made in Norway from recyclable BPA free plastic. For instructions and a video on how to use a neti pot, as well as medical studies on the benefits of the use of a neti pot see our website

I've been using a product called Sinus Busters for the past year and it really works. It is a nasal spray based on water, sea salt, eucalyptus and cayenne. My sinus infections are now few and far between. It can be found at most health food stores.

Pour boiling water into a bowl with a few drops of eucalyptus and thyme essential oils. Put a towel over your head and being careful not to get too close to the hot water, breathe in the fumes for a few minutes at a time for about 15 minutes. Do this 3x a day. If you don't have time to do that, take a hot shower and place the drops in the shower and let the steam work to disperse the vapors into the air, breathe deeply. This won't cure the infection but will offer lots of support and relief.

I have had sinus infections repeatedly for the last several years. 3 ENT doc's all want to do surgery. I don't. Neti pot burns like crazy, accupuncture helps short term, trying an energy healer/ chiropractor/ accupuncturist now......
The ayurvedic treatment above might be worth a try. Hmmmm.
Open to all suggestions

As a child, my daughter suffered serious sinus infections. The odor from infection was so bad , her big brother(8)made the comment that she'd probably never get married, no one would want her. After 7.5 years someone suggested she snort Vitamin E up her nose for 7-10 days, it worked. Any time she had a problem, which wasn't as often, that's how the sinus infection was treated. Proper dose according to weight is important if any one trys this.

Dr. Brent,

I've just read your article on sinus infections and the use of netipots, which I have also used. But this product and others like it only relieve the problem once it has arrived. I have to relay important discovery that was shared with a friend of mine by a holistic dietician in New York State. He and I both have been suffering from very chronic Sinus problems our entire adult lives. Her recommendation to him was to simply stop consuming anything that contained dairy products, and soy as well. Well, I decided to her suggestion and remarkably the sinus attacks stopped completely. Only twice in more than six months have I suffered from sinus pressure and both times were the morning following a dinner in which I ate pasta with a cream sauce on it ( favorite of mine). So, even that small amount of dairy was enough to cause a mucus buildup overnight. My life has been transformed by this discovery. The dietician in NY explained to my friend that dairy, while essential to the swiftly transforming bodies of children, becomes an almost toxic ingredient for adults. Our adult bodies are simply not designed to process dairy, or certainly quantities of it, the way it did when we were children, and this is apparently true even with cows and their offspring as well. And now, looking back, I am disturbed by the ads I see from the National Dairy Association proclaiming that dairy is an essential ingredient to a well balanced diet. It is for children, but not for adults.

I have had chronic sinusitis for many years and had gotten progressively worse of the years. I had sinus surgery on an outpatient basis in 2005. That helped only for about a year or so and I am back to the same point, but I think worse.
I AM VERY DESPARATE FOR AN ATRERNATIVE CURE. If anyone has any suggestions, please e-mail me at corey_lewis@msn.com ASAP.
Thank you very much for your valuable time and consideration.
