Hi Fanfaire:

I was wondering if you would mind posting the name of the sesame oil spray, if you get a chance.

I know we had a discussion not long ago about the pros and cons of the netti pot or nasal irrigation and some are for this and some are not. I was somewhat surprised in my last visit to the ENT, that he is a strong proponent of this. Some docs are very opposed to this.

I have tried to reach a happy medium, by not doing this every day, but when my sinuses really start running, I do use the Neal Med system. One thing I did find out the hard way, was to make sure and aim the squeeze bottle towards your upper nasal area, not in the direction of the ear... Also, blow GENTLY... My eustacian tubes are not very good, and the last thing I need is to get ear problems going...

I know it sounds a little gross, but was also surprised at the improvement in night time drainage, if you also happen to have that.

Happy New Year,
Cathie
