Hiya sorry, whisky some people dont like drinking. Like my sister she hates the stuff and after shes used it for her toothache she gets rid of it by spitting it out rather than drinking it. Just seems bit of a waste.......

Ill keep things to myself now

I have a version of this: using either salt or Colloidal Silver (very expensive from health food shops and probably the web - but lasts years in the fridge and you only need a bit).

When I was younger my mum used to have me over a hot steaming bowl with a towel over my head, breathing the steam in. Then we moved onto 'snuffies' salt dissolved in a bit of hot water, let down with cold, bend you head in, submerge nose and 'breathe' water into sinus's its quite difficult to do and its the last thing your brain thinks you should be doing!

These days I use a syringe - with no needle attached! draw up a small amount of Colloidal Silver - lie on the couch with my head backwards over the arm and discharge into nose - where it then trickles into sinus's - again can be painful and unpleasant - but it works

Not turning blue at the edges are you ?Too much colloidal silver can turn you permanently blue !!! It is called Argyria,it can be localised or you can become a real blue person Mind I don't suppose your sinuses are exposed to public view

For sore throat some times gargling with salty water can held. Boil some water add salt let it cool then gargle.

Chop some lovely hot hot chillies into large pieces and simmer in a pan of milk for around 15 mins, then remove the chillies and add cocoa to the milk and drink. Works fably for sore throats and blocked noses.
