This hurts, a lot. Do not use a lot! A little goes a LONG way. You do blow your knose a lot after, so that clears you up. Also, this pepper is a pain killer of sorts so it will make you feel better for a bit. But the initial pain was pretty amazing for me. Scale of 1 to 10 I'm thinking at least 7. It tappers off quickly, within a few minutes I'm down to a 5 or so. My nose feels like it's on fire. It seems to have helped. I used about 1/20th of a teaspoon, a very small amount. Then immediately blew my nose and most of it came out. I can now feel the pepper running down the back of my throat. Awesome.

My situation is I had a cold then got a sinus infection. I have had this for about 3 days or so.

I only did this 10 mins ago (etc) so I'm unsure of the long term effects but in the short term it does seem to have some beneficial effects.

I used Cayenne, Peroxide and Kosher salt, hot water and a bulb syringe. I eat really hot food, so thought I'd be prepared for the cayenne. I think I overdid it! It burned for a bit, but then felt refreshing. When I blew the solution from my sinuses, lets just say the results were effective! What relief! I did it once in the morning and once in the evening. I woke up for the first time in over a week being able to breath and my voice sounds almost normal.
