Hot peppers take nasal irrigation “to a new level”
I just happened to be eating from a small bag of jalapeno peppers — I asked the sandwich artist to put them on the side — when I came across this press release for a new product that infuses extracts of hot peppers into a nasal rinse.
These nasal rinses, also called neti pots, which are used to improve sinus health and allergy symptoms, have had a recent surge in popularity due to a televised demonstration on Oprah. (Look for the video link half way down the page.)
I can’t comment on the effectiveness of this product, but if it’s anything like the handful of jalapenos I just finished off…let’s just say I’m breathing free right now!
