Patrick More anecdotal: having bone spurs and deviated septum (too many fights as the smallest kid in class, too many summers in the Bronx), I was recommended to use a neti pot years ago, and good grief, the stuff that came out. Maybe that cleared the nasal passages for me.
And then more anecdotal: since I've taped my mouth for sleep, and mouth-closed breathing as a practice, my nasal passages just seem more open. Fewer head colds, too.
