Sinus Infection - Should You Use Capsaicin Spray As A Sinus Buster? - Nurse's Report

There is a sinus buster nasal spray that has been around for many years used for sinus infections, sinus infection symptoms, chronic sinusitis, sinus congestion, sinus headaches and other sinus problems.   It contains Capsaicin which has long been used in creams externally for arthritis pain.  There have been testimonials and claims floating around on the Internet for some time promoting capsaicin for the sinuses. But this is true for many so-called sinus busters.

Before you ever consider spraying a hot pepper solution up your nose or for Capsaicin sinus irrigation you should be fully aware of the possible wild claims and the damage you can do to your nasal passages and lining.

The sinus tissues and nasal tissues are delicate tissues and coming in contact with anything that is not normal is cause for concern and in this case Capsaicin should be a big cause for concern. 

There are much better ways to treat and cure sinus infections and other sinus conditions without causing serious temporary or permanent damage.  Imagine walking around with perpetual burning going on in your head and nose that you can't do anything about.  

Many people try to challenge their bodies by eating hot peppers and pride themselves on eating the hottest that are around.  But what many don't know is that many of these people come into the emergency room for treatment of serious esophageal and intestinal tract burns.  Where is their common sense one wonders?  Would you want to go to the emergency room with sinus pain and burned nasal or sinus passages?

If you were to put diluted Capsaicin on your skin you could reach it and treat it if you get a burn.  Not so for you sinuses.

Before you spray or put anything up your nose that is not natural and especially something that has the serious side effect of a direct contact burn I would seriously reconsider. Also whatever goes up there you may not easily get out, whether Capsaicin or anything else that is natural.

Do not believe everything you read on the Internet when it comes to your health.  Find experts you respect and compare their opinions with other experts. Get second and third opinions.  Sinus specialists will differ on their approach to sinus problems and sometimes vastly differ. Testimonials for Capsaicin could be made up for all anyone knows.

So before you add more sinus problems to your current issues, please consider the consequences of using hot pepper preparations like Capsaicin.

There is a much better safer sinus cure that works every time. I've cured myself naturally without using hot peppers or any other medicine or medications.  All natural approaches are better.  No one needs to suffer with sinus infections, chronic sinusitis or any other sinus problems any more.
