Sinus Buster spray offers relief

I love spicy food. Mexican, Indian and chicken tenders doused in hot sauce. Habanero, Scotch Peppers and Jalapenos. I love them all. The more insanely hot, the better!

So when I heard caller Wayne Perry on the Howard Stern Show mention a sinus spray made with capsaicin pepper that he developed called Sinus Buster, I had to try it.

The thought of spraying a pepper-based nose spray may seem extreme. To me, it seems pretty logical.

Whenever you eat a lot of spicy food, what happens?

Your sinuses clear out immediately. It's good stuff.

I think spicy food's ability to clear me out drives my love for spicy foods and extreme hot sauces.

After years of chronic sinus infections, ongoing pansinusitus (infection of all sinuses) and one uncomfortable (and very bloody) surgery, I decided to order some of the Sinus Buster nose spray for myself.

Bottom line is it works for me and does offer some relief.

Yes, it does sting when you spray it in your nose. I don't mind that. In fact, I kind of enjoy it.

If you like the bite of spicy food, then you can handle Sinus Buster's momentary stinging no problem. And if even if you're squeamish about any possible discomfort, over time you become accustomed to using Sinus Buster. Any discomfort is offset by the relief from congestion it offers.

What Sinus Buster does for me is help keep my sinuses and nasal passages open enough to get me through the day.

UPDATE: AUGUST 16, 2004

It's been four and a half months since I wrote my Sinus Buster testimonial and I wanted to give you an update. Aside from one cold and some lingering sinus infection as a result, I have been symptom free this summer.

I have found that I actually use Sinus Buster less than I did when I began. However, I do rely on it to keep my nasal passages clear and moist if I am exposed to a lot of dust or allergens. Sinus Buster continues to be effective at immediately helping my body clear out any congestion or mucus in my nasal and sinus passages.

Sinus Buster lives up to its many claims when it comes to offering sinus relief and it is free of any side-effects.

New Sinus Buster "Metered Dose Formula"

Sinus Buster now offers "metered dose formula" bottle.

I recently had the opportunity to try out Sinus Buster's new bottle and delivery mechanism, which they are calling their "metered dose formula."

I think this is the best packaging and delivery mechanism that Sinus Buster has offered. The stream is more concise and direct and it is very easy to direct exactly where the spray goes.

Their traditional spray bottle (which is much like a saline nasal spray bottle) works well, but I prefer the new metered dose formula.

As for the metered dose itself, the dose size is somewhat irrelevant.

Overall, sometimes I find that one spray of Sinus Buster does the trick, while sometimes two or three sprays are needed if I'm especially congested or battling a cold or sinus infection.

I think what is important about the metered dose formula bottle is how you can control and direct the spray of Sinus Buster.

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2005

I haven't had to use Sinus Buster in a while as my allergies and chronic sinusitus are in check.

One tip I do have for people with allergies and sinus issues is to keep your nasal passages moist. Use a neti pot at least once a day.

You can also take vaseline and apply a small amount to your finger and put it inside your nose and spread it around. Sounds gross, but it works great during the winter and dry season.

Also, get a humidifier for the bedroom and keep it at 50% humidity.

UPDATE: OCOTOBER 20, 2006

After being symptom-free of any sinus infections for a year, I have another sinus infection!

I ordered some of Sinus Buster's new products and will keep you posted on my experiences using Sinus Buster.

I've been through two rounds of Ketek, which seemed to help a bit. Also got some anti-bacterial compound mixed with saline that I'm using for nasal irrigation after using the neti pot.

Other allergy remedies

Of course, I use it in conjunction with Flonase and Astelin nose sprays, Allegra, Profen Forte and three allergy shots a week. If I don't take all of these medicines every day, I don't breathe.

I also use a device called the Rhino Horn (also known as a neti pot) which really helps my nasal passages and sinuses and further allows a person to breathe freely. Used in conjunction with the Sinus Buster and my course of medicinal and immunotherapy, I almost am able to breathe like a normal person.

Anyway, if you like spicy food and hate sinus congestion, try Sinus Buster. It's pretty good.

Sinus buster also claims to help with cluster and migraine headaches as well as act as a tool to fight off allergens. While I can't vouch for any of that, it's worth giving it a try as they fill orders quickly and even offer a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like the product.
