Might have even seemed to help with sinus inflammation. But it was a long time ago. And for certain all is circumstantial at best.

It didn't matter what type vinegar. Just as long as you could tolerate it. Apple had a little better flavor, white wine vinegar was a little milder and distilled white vinegar more stronger sensation and maybe nastier to some. But it all seemed to work the same.
I have never heard of this. I had been seeing a nose specialist for years. I had surgery on both sides of noise. It worked for about a month or two tops then it all came back. :/

I will have to give a it try. So only before bed? Any reason you could not do it before a ride? Currently I use the water nasal flush before going on a ride.

I found those nasal strips do help me sleep better at night.
