This has not been a stellar dive season for me. It seems I have had one sinus infection after another and it has kept me out of the water. Well one dive buddy told me to get on the bed with my head hanging back off the side and drip warm water mixed with sea salt in my nose until my sinus passages were full. Let that soak a minute and then flip over and let the crud come out on a towel.
Well the first time I did that, my buddy told me to make the stuff to strong and it burned the back of my eyes. And it took me a while to recover from the horror.
Then I was talking with someone else that does the same thing and they told me I had originally done it much too strong and that it is easier if you purchase a Nasaline giant nose syringe that holds the salt water to shoot it up your nose or to drip it in while you are on the bed with your head tipped back.
I have been doing this for a couple of weeks not and feel better than I have in months! I was scheduled to have sinus surgery and decided to put it off and give this a try. So far so good! I am only into this a couple of weeks.
It also seems that I can equalize a little easier.
So is anyone else doing this and has it improved your health? Your ability to equalize? Anything else? I was pretty skeptical, but it seems to be working.
