You may or may not have gotten any salt water into your sinuses. They
are above and aside from the nose and throat and can be bypassed easily.
If you use CS made in distilled and get the sinus cavities flooded, your
eyes will sting a little due to a connection in the tear ducts way up in
there. I gaurantee it.
Salt water? Maybe no sensation.

Ode,
No stings. I have found that 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a cup of lukewarm
water is very close to body 'saltiness'; causes no discomfit while
snorting or sniffing it. Usually use a 5ml or 10ml plastic disposable
syringe, hang my head over the bathroom sink, squirt up one nostril, let
it dribble out nose and spit out what goes down throat. Then do the other
side too.

The only problem with DW in the eyes etc is that it upsets the saline

But it not harmful.
CS stings the eyes and irritates sinuses the same as distilled water does.
Snorting salt water does the same thing but upsets the balance the
other way towards too salty.
No harm there either.

Hello,
I am new here, and really enjoying the list so far. I have also been
delving into the archives, in search of some answers. I've personally
used CS for years, as has my family - and I've had wonderful results
with its use with my pets and livestock as well. I plan to start making
my own soon, so that I can afford the higher quantities I need for some
self-treatment I want to do.
Anyway, a couple of questions. I have had a chronic sinus infection for
years, and it has advanced to an intolerable level. I have been taking
CS orally for it, and it does help somewhat. I avoid prescription
antibiotics for this. Recently I started using a neti pot to irrigate
my sinuses. It's made a world of difference. I would like to add CS to
the water that I use, so that I can get that into my sinuses for on the
spot treatment, rather than just the oral treatment. My question for
you experts - the water that is usually used in the neti is a saline
(made with non-iodized sea salt) solution. Would using that solution
with the CS cause a problem? If it does, I can probably use plain water
(well variety or I could purchase DW) and use the CS in that, but I
wouldn't want to go without the benefit of the salt rinse every
time. Or perhaps I could just go with a pure CS rinse on
occasion. Currently, while using this for treatment, I irrigate 3-4
times a day. Once I get this more under control, I will reduce that to
once or twice a day. Thoughts?
Also, I am looking for a way to make a CS ointment - something with more
"sticking" ability than the liquid. I've read a couple of options, and
I've seen the kit available commercially, but I'm trying to do something
inexpensive that doesn't require a degree in chemical engineering. The
law degree I'm working toward requires enough of my spare brain cells,
thank you :)
I appreciate your suggestions.
