Without this regimen, I don't breathe so well.
Wow that's a lot. I can't do that much myself. My problem is not so much clogged sinuses as it is infections. There was a doctor in San Diego who home-made some kind of black concoction that he stuck into the roof of my mouth for about 30 minutes. It had something in it that they use on boils (started with an "L") and some herbal stuff. It actually worked well out there for the mild ocean-side sinusitis that I got out there but don't know how it might work around Texas where my sinuses were the worst. Ragweed, Maize and Mesquite were what affected me the most. When I rode past those things I could feel the sinuses getting sore immediately.
Kenalog shots up the nose were the only way I could get some riding time to get ready for centuries sometimes when antibiotics wouldn't finish the infections off.
