    Always use distilled water in a neti pot!!!! Using tap water can be dangerous, if your area has a particular ameoba in the water, it can get in your brain thru your sinus cavity, and kill you. Sounds crazy, but its true.

    I get these a lot due to allergies and have to use a nasal spray. However when it is really bad the prescribed stuff just doesn't seem to do it. You can make a paste with ground ginger and water and apply it like a face mask. Let it dry and then wash it off, it will take down the internal swelling. You can use cinnamon to make the paste as well.

    Dairy products and sugars are a no no! There is something in both of these foods that either thickens the mucus at the back of your throat or makes your nose pack even more. Stick to your vinegar ciders, apples and pineapples then you will not go wrong. Also if you have a weak immune system, then sinusitis will be your best friend so watching your diet and exercising is another way to elevate the chances of getting sinusitis.
