    Neti Pots. I clean our my sinuses every night before bed, and I rarely get sick. Of course it’s not a miracle cure, but it’s great at preventing a viral infection before it starts.

      Doesn’t frequent cleaning of sinuses cause irritation? I believe healthy sinuses should be mostly self cleaning. Of course if you have some long-term condition then it’s different

        I don’t have any irritation, but I’m a big robust guy, so perhaps milage may vary.

        And sure, I would assume that the sinuses are self-cleaning to an extent, but they are also designed to be a filter to keep junk out of our lungs. The way I see it, I’m just cleaning the filter out before I go to bed.
