Sinus Plumber Nasal Spray - 1 Bottle

I love this stuff! It burns a bit but it really clears out your sinuses. Once you get used to it, its really not bad. And, it all natural which is awesome

I don't usually write reviews, but had to for this product because I think it significantly cut down the amount of time I spent sick. It's best utilized in conjunction with a neti pot; first I rinse my sinuses using the pot (rinse twice, one rinse through the right nostril and then one through the left nostril), then go into child's pose and blow gently to drain the rest of mucus and water. Then, I take the spray and spray it once in the left nostril, once in the right, once in the left again, then one final time in the right, gently taking my time on each side and sniffing/inhaling for a good minute or two between each spray. Be warned, this spray is NOT for the faint of heart and it WILL sting the first few times you use it. It feels somewhat like sticking some wasabi up your nose. But my god is that sting rewarding. I actually tear up after each spray, but power through until I've made it through all 4 sprays. After spraying, I go back into child's pose and gently blow again to drain the excess snot that results from spraying. When I'm all done, I can breathe perfectly clearly and feel like a new man for a good hour or so before my sinuses clog up again. This spray is tremendously healing and will drastically speed up your recovery time from cold and flu if you can use it after doing a neti pot rinse every few hours throughout the day. I really believe in the healing power of cayenne pepper and I think that's why this spray is so effective; the neti rinse clears out the sinuses so that the cayenne pepper can then come in and coat the walls of the sinus cavities, at which point the cayenne pepper's antibacterial properties will take effect and help the body to fight off the infection.

This was recommended to me when I was sick from a NP at the doctor. It does WORK, it will clear you out but yes it will burn like nobodies business. Luckily that burn doesn't last but a few seconds but it will clear your sinuses!

For those not used to a nasal spray with capsaicin (the active component of chili peppers), eucalyptus, wintergreen and a hint of horseradish; it can be a shock at first, so take a single spray while inhaling through your nose, one nostril at a time. What's it feel like? Imagine the thick mucous in your nose is a bad guy. You don't want him around, so you take this pepper spray you happen to have...and get that bad stuff... in a very, very localized place. Stay with me. After inhaling, let it stay there for thirty seconds, allowing the full effect of your own body cleansing the walls of your nasal cavity Imagine your own tears and nasal liquid washing away the pre-infection of mucous that stays in your nasal cavities. This is a unique remedy that hurts at first. When you get used to it, it HURTS GOOD. Trust me. Soon you'll get used to the ingredient and realize the potential of having a very quick fix to a clogged nose or nasal mucous with NO drug interaction and NO need to wait 24 hours to get the usefulness. Since it's only using things to stimulate your own system, you can use this stuff again without delay. If I had too much sugar or sweet drink, or if I hang out with my smoking friends at the bar, I'll cleanse out my sinuses with this stuff at night and wake up breathing like an opera singer...I assume they breathe really well. It can be used again and again for several months of semi-regular use. This particular product has the kick of the famous Sinus Buster, but has a better finish by far, thanks to eucalyptus and wintergreen oil. It makes my sinuses open up with ease on dusty Fall days in my pollen-filled area, leaving my nose feeling clean, open and breathing like a champ. DON'T share your nasal spray (and germs) with friends, but DO share Sinus Plumber as gifts. Your friends will love you Pepper-Spraying their nostrils, as mine do. Plumb on!

Many reviews say Sinus Plumber is effective but painful, so I was expecting it would feel like a punch in the nose. Right after it arrived, I put the tip into a nostril, closed my eyes, fired, and said to my wife, "That's it?" Sure, it stings a little, but just a little. The experience is hardly as painful as eating wasabi paste. If you're buying this for masochistic purposes, you will be profoundly disappointed. I have a lot of sinus problems, and I use fluticasone (a.k.a. "Flonase") daily, so I'm I'm going to use that as a basis of comparison for those who use a prescription production. Sinus Plumber is definitely more effective in the short run. It's a highly effective mucolytic, meaning that it will break up mucus. It also seems to shrink swollen sinuses, at least in my case. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid and has a long duration, up to 24 hours, and is an anti-inflammatory that shrinks sinuses. Fluticasone takes several minutes to begin working, and it gently opens sinuses. Sinus Plumber is faster, more effective in the short run, but won't continue working for hours. Some have given the product one star and said it was junk. Not all sinus problems are the same, even though the symptoms may present similarly. For example, if someone had sinus polyps, I suspect fluticasone would work better. I don't recommend you use Sinus Plumber immediately before going to bed as it will run down the back of the throat. This isn't painful, but unpleasant. Ten minutes before would be fine.
