Sinus washing with saline salution is a useful (but admittedly disgusting! :P) technique for removing infected mucus (aka green gunk), but I recommend it only to those who are truly _miserable_ with severe sinusitis. The key is to 'snork' not sniff the solution; salt water plus gg into the windpipe is _most_ unpleasant! :( I'm not familiar with the use of mustard oil, but I wonder if the effect might be similar to taking too large a dollop of wasabi... ;) I find eating hot salsa and drinking plenty of hot tea, along with 'steaming,' effective treatment for many a stuffy nose. (And with allergies ~ 9 months of the year, I have plenty of practice! :P ) Snorky Was My Favorite Banana Split Maru __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
