you just add 10-15 drops of oil to some saline solution in a typical nose spray bottle – at least that’s what i’ve been doing. iJah

follow up – i could not find any decent sesame seed oil at the markets around here – so had to find an online site with pharmaceutical grade sesame seed oil. i found a great source – they even have a product specifically for use in the nose. i placed an order – still waiting for it to arrive. here is a link to the site: https://www.adwizards.com/0-secure/youthing-secure/web_store.cgi?prod… here is the product info on the site: NOSE OIL $ 12.00 In the summer of 2001, in Sweden, north of the Artic Circle, doctors experimented with using pharmaceutical grade sesame oil to calm irritated and bleeding nasal membranes, instead of the usual salt spray. Those using sesame oil thought it was about 80% more effective in helping their dry nasal problems. For centuries Ayurveda physicians have used sesame oil to successfully treat and relieve symptoms of sinusitis. Air travelers have used our NOSE OIL to protect against upper respiratory bacterial infection, so common after even short duration air travel. A few drops in each nostril before the flight and again every 3-4 hours during seems to work wonderfully well. The oil is naturally anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial for both streptococcus and staphylococcus. Has a hint of peppermint. 2.2 oz. bottle with dropper

Excellent – I suffer with this badly, please let us know! Also, what is ‘Ayrd’? How do you apply the sesame seed oil – just droplets from a little bottle? — Tony "iJah" <iJahSpamSu…@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message

That Ayrd has helped me with my dry nasal passages. shirley

Response:

My ENT recommended sesame oil…..Unfortunately, I was allergic to it. You can get pharmaceutical grade online. Put pharamaceutical grade sesame oil into google.

Response:

The problem with most stuff at health food stores is that it all moves slow.  That means the product can likely be old.  The could have a bottle of oil sitting on the shelf for years.  Most of it doesn’t have batch dates or expire dates.  But yeah, if it works let us know. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -iJah wrote: > I think this has been covered in this forum before, using sesame seed > oil to treat dry nasal passages.

I think this has been covered in this forum before, using sesame seed oil to treat dry nasal passages. But I just found this and thought I’d post it for those like me who are suffering from the dry/burnout nasal passages that go hand-in-hand with the kind of brutally cold winters we have here and especially if you are stuck in a building/house that is heated with natural gas heat with no humidification. I’m going out to buy some organic sesame seed oil at a health food store NOW. I’ll report back on how it works for me – or not. iJah ———- from the site: http://www.mercola.com/2002/jan/23/nasal_passages.htm During the winter in cold climates the air is usually quite dry, and this results in many people having dry nasal passages leading to itching, burning, and mucus crusts forming. These complaints increase when the humidity is low in the winter months from December to May in the northern part of the world and during long journeys by airplane. The traditional medical treatment is a spray of isotonic sodium chloride, or saline, solution. A new study compared saline with sesame oil. Swedish researchers used the sesame oil spray with great benefits on nasal dryness, stuffiness and crusts apparent within 4 days. After 14 days of treatment 80% of the subjects were improved. The sesame oil was far superior to the saline spray which only worked in 30% of the subjects. Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery November 2001 127:1353-1356 ————————————————————————— —– Dr. Mercola’s Comment: The sesame oil in this study was pharmaceutical grade and its bottle had a dosage pump. As long as you are not allergic to sesame it is likely that a high quality organic sesame oil would also work. It might not hurt to wipe a small drop of sesame oil inside the nose, but it probably needs to get higher up, and spraying with something other than a dosage pump could result in getting oil into your lungs. However, even though it would be wise to avoid getting the sesame oil in your lungs, the authors showed that the ciliary function of the lungs were not changed after exposure to the sesame oil and it is likely the cilia in the lining of the lung would be able to remove the excess oil. If you are allergic to sesame oil you should likely avoid this approach, however, in the study those allergic to sesame seemed to tolerate the small doses used, which is likely related to the fact that a pure pharmaceutical grade sesame oil was used which was free of antigenic proteins. It is possible that the sesame oil works but it seems to inhibit the production locally of arachidonic acid which is a fat that lead to the formation of many of the proinflammatory prostaglandins. ————————————————————————— —–
