07/01/2006 Sinus Irrigation How-To Update

I have tried the Netti pots and nasal irrigation, and besides being ridiculously messy, they simply did not work for me.  I used this mess for over 3 months, thinking maybe in time it would work, but it didn't.

I was getting serious sinus infections every time I used my C-Pap.  I finally figured it out by myself and cured the problem.  

First, you have to have a hot water reservoir with heat on your C-Pap.  
The moment you are going to bed, put the hottest tap water possible in your reservoir.
Add about 1 tsp. of Vicks-Vap-0- Steam.  Not only your sinuses will improve, but so will your lungs.  It's great.

You have to refill the tank every time you go to use it, with hot water and new Vicks-Vap0-Steam, though.  

Hope this helps some of you find relief!

Absolutely do NOT put anything in your CPAP humidifier!  If you read the directions on your humidifier, not only does it degrade your humidfier, it is a health hazard since these compounds are never meant to be administered to the lungs that way.
