Ode,
No stings. I have found that 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a cup of lukewarm water
is very close to body 'saltiness'; causes no discomfit while snorting or
sniffing it. Usually use a 5ml or 10ml plastic disposable syringe, hang my
head over the bathroom sink, squirt up one nostril, let it dribble out nose
and spit out what goes down throat. Then do the other side too.

But it not harmful.
CS stings the eyes and irritates sinuses the same as distilled water does.
Snorting salt water does the same thing but upsets the balance the
other way towards too salty.
No harm there either.

Hello,
I am new here, and really enjoying the list so far. I have also been
delving into the archives, in search of some answers. I've personally
used CS for years, as has my family - and I've had wonderful results
with its use with my pets and livestock as well. I plan to start
making my own soon, so that I can afford the higher quantities I need
for some self-treatment I want to do.
Anyway, a couple of questions. I have had a chronic sinus infection
for years, and it has advanced to an intolerable level. I have been
taking CS orally for it, and it does help somewhat. I avoid
prescription antibiotics for this. Recently I started using a neti
pot to irrigate my sinuses. It's made a world of difference. I would
like to add CS to the water that I use, so that I can get that into my
sinuses for on the spot treatment, rather than just the oral
treatment. My question for you experts - the water that is usually
used in the neti is a saline (made with non-iodized sea salt)
solution. Would using that solution with the CS cause a problem? If
it does, I can probably use plain water (well variety or I could
purchase DW) and use the CS in that, but I wouldn't want to go without
the benefit of the salt rinse every time. Or perhaps I could just go
with a pure CS rinse on occasion. Currently, while using this for
treatment, I irrigate 3-4 times a day. Once I get this more under
control, I will reduce that to once or twice a day. Thoughts?
Also, I am looking for a way to make a CS ointment - something with
more "sticking" ability than the liquid. I've read a couple of
options, and I've seen the kit available commercially, but I'm trying
to do something inexpensive that doesn't require a degree in chemical
engineering. The law degree I'm working toward requires enough of my
spare brain cells, thank you :)
I appreciate your suggestions.
