I also tried it and while it workedI personally didn't like it. But, anyone looking for nasal relief mightwant to try it too.>>> Lou's Respitatory Therapist saw her and here's Lou's report.> I'm posting it for her to make sure the link to Oxyarm is good:> LISA THE RESPIRATORY THERAPIST WAS HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND SHE JUST> EMAILED ME THIS.
