I add inexpensive Epsom Salts (Magnesium) to a hyper-tonic saline solution (similar to the above). Some people prefer Dead Sea Salts and the benefit (I think) is the Mg. I think I saw that there are some U.S. Patents applied for for the use of Mg in nasal sprays to reduce inflammation. It's the internet... check it out. ;-) Good luck. I appreciate getting a recommendation on the amount of Oregano Oil in a sinus rinse... thank you! Despite my best efforts, I seem to be fighting off a mild sinus infection. I have read that Oregano Oil can kill MRSA at 1,000 to 1 dilution. There are 3648 drops in 8 oz. I may add the tiniest touch of a soap to emulsify the oil. I've also seen evidence that breathing the vapors is good enough so maybe some drops of oil in hot water and a towel over my head. We'll see... Look into adding Magnesium.

This procedure worked so quickly to eliminate my sinus headaches. I literally would not be able to work if I had not solved this problem. Don't be fooled by those little bottles of salt water that give you a couple drops....doesn't work. This stimulates your own system to clean itself. Ten minutes or so after doing it you will experience some drainage...that's how you know it's working. Also...do not fail to bring that water to room temp before using...works much better! Using this technique would keep a lot of people from getting sinus surgery, which MD's suggest to sinus sufferers.
