I'm on the 12th day of some mutating disease that started out as bronchitis and has morphed to sinus crap. So desperate have I become to obtain relief (been through a cycle of antibiotics already - I could hear the offending viri and bacteria laughing inside my head), I bought a small tin of an herbal concoction from a friend of mine which she calls "sinus snuff". It is comprised of powdered bay leaf, cayenne, and two or three other kitchen herbs. She guaranteed it would cure me as long as I snorted it three to four times a day.

This stuff is mildly irritating to my sinuses when I snort it, but I can definitely say that so far, its working at least as well as the actual meds I've tried so far.
