I use the cap from the peroxide bottle and put 1/4 cap of peroxide the rest of the cap is filled with water dripped from the faucet.

I put a finger over one nostril and sniff the mixture up the other nostril. I repeat this with the other nostril.

One cap full (1/4 peroxide 3/4 water) usually will treat both nostrils. When the solution drains down the nostril passage to the throat, I spit it out and blow my nose.

Guess what? Instant relief then and there not ten minutes later but then and there. When you blow your nose you will be amazed at what comes out.

This is especially great for head colds, but also sore throat and stops coughing colds as well. I usually only have to do this twice at about 8 hour intervals. After that or by the next morning were talking, what cold?

I have not tried using the inhaling through the mouth method since I have discovered that the cold always appears to be in the nostril passage. Even the sore throat symptom is in the nasal passage between the nose and throat and you will feel where it is when the mixture drains down the nostril passage. If you find that a 1/4 peroxide to 3/4 water too strong, i.e., stings too much, use slightly less peroxide and more water. I sniff rather than spray the mixture as I found that spraying does not atomize and coat the entire nostril passage as well as when the mixture is sniffed.

Try it and you will also be amazed.
