Re: Re: Oil of Oregano? -Nystatin nasal spray

[Guest guest]

Another note regarding sinus issues that won't go away.

My ENT doc had me do a homemade nasal spray using:

1/8 tsp. of sea salt1/8 tsp Nystatin powder (compounding pharmacy will have this)

1/4 cup distilled waterMix thoroughly and pour into a nasal sprayer and keep refrigerated

Be sure to disinfect everything that will be used to make and hold solution

It worked when nothing else would work for my sinuses.

Re: Oil of Oregano?

One thing I always do is use normal saline solution for my nose. You mix up 1/4 teaspoon salt in 1/2 cup water or same proportions to other amounts of water. You need a bit hotter than lukewarm for it to dissolve, but lukewarm to use. A neti pot is probably the best but I've spend years just holding some in my hand. Do one nostril several times, and the other. Done several times a day and particularly at bedtime can really help clear the nose, and I read recently that the salt is therapeutic as well.
