Sorry it’s been so long. === also wondering if i got any in my ears cause my left ear was clicking for two days. the flu is going around here but wondering could flooding have triggered this. === How is the ear clicking now? During a flooding, it is possible that liquid can enter into the outside of the ear and can be easily cleaned out. Could that have been the case? === went to a casino 2 weeks ago and the smoke drove me nuts. === When I used to get a sinus infection, my allergies became ten times worse and much more sensitive. === well anyhow now a ...

Adie, in my case, after suffering with multiple sinus infections, year after year, for decades, I experimented with flooding my nasal passages with a mixture of diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt. In order to flood my nasal passages and keep them flooded, I keep my forehead pointed downward. I keep my forehead down for quite a while, hoping that the anti-infective mixture can get to the infected area(s) within my sinuses and nasal passages. . It works! I have been sinus infection free for about 3 years. I think that I had chronic infection problems with my turbinat ...

Brian, you posted: ”Update: I’ve been using the sinus flooding technique for a bit more than two weeks one or two times daily now. I spoke too soon in my last post and came down with another sinus infection. :( We’ll see if I can get rid of it...” Brian, sorry to hear that you are fighting another sinus infection. Wish you luck in getting rid of it. The peroxide only does good if it can get to the sinus infection, or if it can get to infectious material within the nasal passages or sinuses, or if it can kill germs that have spread from the infection. Otherwise, daily floodings w ...

If the mixture of peroxide and baking soda is able to reach an infection, and kill all of the infection in one flooding, then one flooding would be all that I would do. If my infection was deep within my maxillary sinuses, then the sinus flooding would have limited value, since it would not be able to get to the infection. I think that I was able to stop my decades-long fight against sinus infections, because my sinus infections were in my nasal passages or around my turbinates, and not in my sinus cavities, but I am not sure. I hate seeming evasive to you, but I am not a doctor, ...

I’ve had feedback from some who have used hydrogen peroxide in an irrigator, and have also had some pretty good results at getting rid of a sinus infection. It all depends upon whether or not you can get the peroxide and baking soda to the source of the infection. Regarding getting fluid in the ear passages: There is always a possibility of fluid being forced in through the openings of the Eustachian Tubes, which are near the back of the throat, almost even with the nostrils, so caution should be used anytime someone is spraying liquids into their sinuses. The ”Upside Down Sinus Floo ...

Hydrogen Peroxide is very irritating to the sinuses. When I was first experimenting with flooding my sinuses with peroxide, I used too much peroxide (about one part peroxide to three parts water). It really stung badly, but I still stayed down for about 10 minutes. It totally closed up my sinuses for three full days and really made my life miserable. I thought that I had made a mistake and made my sinus condition worse. But..... after three days of increased sinus misery, my sinuses opened up and they felt pretty good. I cut the mixture down to one part peroxide to ten parts water, and ...

The only purpose for doing an upside down sinus flooding, is to kill germs, or infection, within the nasal areas. If the pressure and pain in your forehead is being caused by infection, and by doing the sinus flooding the anti-infective mixture can reach and kill the infection, then you might get some relief from your problems. Without knowing your exact problem, and not being an expert, I can’t say whether an upside down sinus flooding will help you or make you worse. In my case, I had been getting sinus infections over and over again, each year, for years. About three years ago, ...

Your symptoms sound like they are allergy related. Anything that touches your skin, that you inhale or that you eat or drink, could be causing your misery. Do you use fabric softeners? Do you use artificial sweeteners? Any chemical, additive, etc., can be adding to your misery. You might consider eliminating as many items as possible for at least a week. Avoid sauces, gravies, pre-packaged meals, pizza toppings, lunchmeats, etc. Get a piece of paper and write down things that you breath, things that touch your skin or things that you eat, that you can avoid. Make the list as large as you c ...

oricyst, sorry to hear about your sinus misery. I have never used the pulsating irrigators. They’ve never made any sense to me at all regarding the treatment of infections. I can’t picture little tiny hairs, in the sinuses, moving the thick mucus that I used to get as a result of infection and damage to my sinus membranes and turbinates. No, and I won’t. I was really nervous, at first, about flooding my sinuses with peroxide. I had done a lot, A LOT, of research on the Internet about using peroxide in the sinuses, but I found nothing about ”flooding” the sinuses with peroxi ...

You beat me. I had congestion, pain, blood, swelling in my right sinuses for about 20+ years. When my sinus would get real bad, it would spread to both sides. Four main things cured my sinus problems, completely. 1. I stay away from foods, chemical, dust, irritants that effect my sinuses and asthma. 2. I’ve had Acupuncture treatment for sinuses, and I give myself electro-acupuncture treatments at home. It works! 3. The ”upside down sinus flooding” stopped my infections. Period! I’ve averaged less than two floodings per month over the past 30 months. 4. I use a corticosteroi ...

Thanks for the feedback. I hope that the sinus flooding helps you. Just a warning though. With the back of the head down, and the nostrils facing up, the opening to the Eustachian Tubes is much more at risk of getting some of the liquid in it. That is why I put the top of my forehead down. In that position, it is much harder to get liquid into the opening to the Eustachian Tubes. The opening to the Eustachian Tubes is at the back of the throat. If the nasal areas are flooded and the back of the throat is down, and the face is up, then the openings could be ”under water”. To me, th ...

I’ve now been about 30 months without any viral, bacterial or fungal infection problems. I flood my sinuses with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and Kosher Salt, on average, about 2 times per month. I obviously don’t have to do it too often, and it works great for me, and it doesn’t cost me any money. I think that my chronic infection problems were associated with my turbinates, so the anti-infective mixture worked very well, for me, since the infected areas were fairly easy to reach. Flooding one’s sinuses will not cure allergies or chemical sensitivities. For that one ...

Lazman, you said: ”Anyway The first couple of times I did use too much Hydrogen Peroxide and my sinus snapped shut that night, but eased in the morning.” - When I first experimented with peroxide, I used much, too much, and my sinuses swelled shut for three days!

My sinuses are totally healed at present. I am getting ready to flood them with peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt, for the first time since Jan 13th, in order to clean out my nasal passages, the areas around my turbinates and hopefully some areas of my sinus cavities. To me it is great insurance against infection, and a great way to keep my sinuses functioning and clean. I feel that it took my sinuses many months to totally heal, and the only way they could heal was if I kept infections away by occasional floodings. In two+ years I’ve done about 50 floodings, which averages out to ...

I’ve never used a nose pipe. Do you feel that the nose pipe will allow you to flood your sinuses with an anti-infective mixture of peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt? If the powerful anti-infective mixture can get to the source of the infection, and can get to the infectious junk within the sinuses or nasal areas, then it may be able to cure someone’s sinus infection problems.

I use either filtered water or distilled water. I want to get my nostrils facing upwards so that the mixture will stay in them, and be able to seep down into my nasal passages and sinus cavities. The top portion of my forehead is down on the shower floor, and not the very top of my head. My face is looking back at my waist, not facing down. Please feedback and let us know how you are doing.

The peroxide bubbled into your throat? With the forehead down that is difficult to do because the throat would be higher than the sinuses and nasal passages. That’s one reason that I do it upside down, to avoid swallowing the mixture. Another reason is that it enables the anti-infective mixture to flood the nasal passages and the turbinates, and to seep into the sinus cavities. I also gargle with peroxide. It is great stuff! The bubbles/foam is pure oxygen. Peroxide foams when it meets with damaged nasal passages, damaged turbinates or damaged sinus membranes, or blood. Peroxide will ...
