Nice graphic. There are also some sinus areas in more direct contact with the brain. I can't remember the name of that one, though.

Here is another link I googled up, it has some more cool images, too:

It is a more complicated business than it seems at first glance, imho. There are some pretty deep in the head too.

Others here have stated that lying backwards on the bed with the head off the end and dripping the cs in; then rolling the head from side to side; or around as much as movement will allow can be helpful. For me, the cs starts to be somewhat uncomfortable once the infection begins to subside, more so as it gets better. I don't know if others share that experience or not.

        Brief Overview of Sinus and Nasal Anatomy

Martin J. Citardi, M.D.

The paranasal sinuses are air-filled pockets located within the bones of the face and around the nasal cavity. Each sinus is name for the bone in which it is located:

    * Maxillary (one sinus located in each cheek)
* Ethmoid (approximately 6-12 small sinuses per side, located between the eyes)
    * Frontal (one sinus per side, located in the forehead)
* Sphenoid (one sinus per side, located behind the ethmoid sinuses, near the middle of the skull)

Thanks Kathryn, I just found a pic of the sinus sinus cavity. I did not know it was that large. I understand you upside down theory now.

I assume you have tried straight EIS, 10 ppm or so. Many have said how important it is to rotate the head in every conceivable direction to allow the solution access to *all* the convoluted passages in the sinus. This includes upside down etc. Using the neti pot over the sink might not get to the upper areas.

Have had an extreme sinus infection for 3 weeks now. I been throwing the kitchen sink at it but now avail. Been using a neti pot for 2 days with saline solution,CS,CS+dmso,CS+ hydrogen peroxide and water+ grapefruit seed extract. I can get it cleared out by the end of the day, next morning its back full force. I heard gentian violet was really good for sinus problems, my question would this be safe using a drop or 2 in a neti pot? Or any other suggestions.
 I have been nublizing and using a the zapper on it also.
 TIA   Sam
