A while back I invested in a neti pot. For those of you who do not know what one is, I recommend you click on the title and it will take you to a You Tube demonstration. You use this special pot and fill it with warm, sort of salty water. You then tip your head to the side and slightly forward and pour the water up your nose. It will come out the other side. If you have ever had sinus problems, this thing really works. If I have a sinus headache, I use this and it will go away fairly quickly. If you have a cold, it will help lessen your congestion and seems to help the cold go away faster. I have always gargled with warm salt water to treat a sore throat so it makes since that it would work for your sinuses too. Just don't put in too much salt or it will burn. There is a special formulated powder you can buy if you want but I just use salt water. You can buy one at any pharmacy or Walmart even.
