damn sinus troubles.....

Ever hear of a Neti-pot? Its a little pot that looks like a miniature watering pot that you fill with warm saline salt water and pour into your nose. I know it sounds strange but you tilt your head sideways over a sink and pour the pot slowly into your upper nostril. The saline solution (it comes with dry doses in the kit) runs into your sinuses and flushes them out or dilutes them to break down the mucous so they drain. It will run out your lower nostril a few seconds after you start. It takes about 2 times to get used to the effect but strangley it doesnt make you sneeze. I use it when I get allergies and it helps alot. There is also a capsium based inhaler (yeah, tear gas!) that is guaranteed to break up sinus congestion. Its available at drug stores but I cant remember the name. Used to be advertised on the radio.
