I already take Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Tbs in in my water bottle all day long. I also have taken Cayenne pepper also, but I was wondering if any one has put a little cayenne pepper in their netti pot with the saline solution for sinus infection. I am tempted I might do before you get back to me, but please respond.Thank You

I use cayenne in a neti pot. I use the point of of a knife to measure the pepper, add warm water and use half a pot on each side. I use a very small amount, none the less it can produce rapid results that last the day.Replied By Daren (Trenton, Mi, Us) on 02/21/2010
Dear EC, I too have used organic Cayenne pepper in my neti pot. My kind is actually the kind you squeeze not tilt your head and pour. My sinuses have been acting up like always. Along with my sinus cleanse saline solution (sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride (the little packets you can buy)) I added approximately 1/32 of a TEASPOON NOT TABLESPOON (1/8 of a 1/4 teaspoon). It was actually 1 dash of cayenne. But the holes on my container are a little bigger than typical so I did a light dash. I experienced great results! It cleared me up right away. It is intense for the first time so beginners may want to use EVEN LESS for their first try. These ingredients were mixed with 8oz or 1 CUP of room temperature water. I have done it twice now in the past 18 hours and I am hacking out green stuff so I know it's working. I would advise not doing it more than 2 or 3 times in 24 hours and not more than a few days a week in time of need. But that is just my opinion.
I am curious if turmeric would be helpful in this application also has anyone tried it?
Thank you, and love you FOREVER EC!!!!!!
