4 out of 5 stars

I have been suffering from post nasal discharge from one nostril for more than 15 years I had surgery 3 times but the problem persists to the point that has made my life miserable and quite embarassing since I have to deal with clearing the back of my throat from thick mucous that gets stuck there and requires a lot of coughing and effort to be cleared. I was reading some of the entries about certain remedies and I got interested in the remedy with the oregano. I went to my local herb shop to buy the liquid oregano but I found a nose spray which contains the essential oils of oregano, bay leaf, sage and clove in a sea water base. I tried it out and has made a big difference my problem did not go away but the phlegm is less thicker easier to clear and plus my problem sinus side feels less obstructed than before. It has to be the oregano.

Effect of oregano oil (Origanum Vulgare L.) on chronic rhinosinusitis: A randomized, double-blind, 4 week clinical trial

Source: http://op.niscpr.res.in/index.php/IJTK/article/view/35368

A study tested oregano oil nasal spray for treating sinus problems. It had 75 adults in three groups. One group used oregano oil, another used a steroid spray, and the last group used a fake spray with sesame oil. After four weeks, people using oregano oil had much better results. Their symptom scores dropped by 51.52 points. The steroid group's scores dropped by 21.60, and the fake spray group's by 11.84. This means the oregano oil really helped with their symptoms.
