I recommend taking cayenne pepper. For an immediate help, take about 1/4 tsp in a glass of warm water and drink it down. Myself, I take it in capsule form. It helps with a great deal of stuff. You can also take a capsaicin cream such as Capsaicin HP and dab just a little bit on your forehead, cheekbones and nose.... right over your sinuses. This helps a lot as well. And for the diehard..... get a bottle of sinusblaster. It's saline solution with a minute amount of capsaicin in it and when you squirt it up there, it briefly feels like someone has rammed a 6 inch red hot spike up there..... but you talk about resolving cluster or sinus headaches instantly! Wow! (If you're a masochist, just have someone pepper spray you in the face.... that works too, but I don't recommend it!) Some people also use a salt solution rinse for their sinuses.... pour it in one nostril and it comes out the other. I'm told by folks that this is very effective. There are special devices you can buy at the health food store to do this. I forget what they're called. Steve G. --- On Sun, 1/17/10, S. Brown <lizrbe...@yahoo.com> wrote: >From: S.
