I got the idea from her DH and it does work. Like she said you need enough
to really flush things out. It is nasty while doing but worth not having to
take meds for it.

OK, may just give that a try and get Ben to also - we both suffer from
sinus infections and allergies.

its not strong enough and to flush properly you need a larger volume than
spray allows for, one of the benifits of having a sil who is a
naturopathic doctor is she explains whys of things, in order for the salt
to stop the infections, you need both a strong, warmish solution with
enough volume to really loosen the debri that might be hanging on...
saline spray is good to moisten while flying and to assist in preventing
nose bleeds, Lee

You can get saline nasal spray at WalMart - it's really very cheap and
you don't have all that bother of mixing.

he mixes it in a glass of water and snorts it, gross but he has reduced
his sinus infections to almost nil, and he really needed to wokrk on
thhis as he is allergic to several antibiotics so tries to limit those
he can take in case of some serious life threatening issue in the
future, Lee

dh does use it now for clearing his sinuses, works very good to avoid
sinus
infections, Lee

Recently my doctor told me to spray saline solution in my noses when
I
was on a plane. Usually it gets very dry in the plane and I was
recovering
from a sinus congestion and cough.

A friend told me she used a neti pot to flush her nasal cavities with
saline soultion.
So salt does has other uses besides seasoning.

don't put

waving hand Another salt freak here! I also don't cook with salt
because pretty much everyone I know prefers a lot less salt than I
like
to put on my food. If I salted to taste during the cooking
process,
I'd be the only one who would want to eat it.

Also, I've heard that when you salt food while it's cooking, it
tends
to lose some of the salty flavor - but it doesn't lose the sodium
content.
So then you might want to salt it again at the table, resulting in
more
sodium. If you salt food just as you're about to eat it you don't
have
an extra dose of it, at least! (Experienced cooks: any truth to
this
theory?)

I mainly use salt for gargling whenever I have a sore throat, not for
cooking
or seasoning.
