Are you worried about diminishing good bacteria in sinuses ? I use a neti rinse everyday after work do to the dusty air. I recently read that one must be concerned about washing away the good germs too? Any thoughts on this? Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless handheld

Right now I use sea salt. ------------------------------------------------- I find that when I don't use salt in a sinus drainage formula, my nasal passages really sting. Salt is a good anti-microbial agent that's also an astringent-it shrinks tissues and therefore reduces inflammation. For my sinus solutions, I generally use salt, xylitol (for its anti-bacterial effects) and liquid iodine. The sinuses require huge amounts of iodine (itself germicidal), and this is a good way to get the iodine into the nasal cavities. Sometimes I add very small amounts of tea tree and/or oregano oils. Some of the more chemist-minded folks can say if adding CS to a salt solution reduces its benefits or undesirably changes its composition.
