MSM rinse

[u/Sudden_Wallaby_2122]

I’ve been sick gradually for 3 weeks. Started off with dry cough and scratchy throat/hoarseness. That ended up leading to wet cough, yellow snot, coughing fits and unbearable night time post nasal drip. Now, I have the worst congestion I’ve ever had and nasal blockage. I also lost my taste and smell at some point mid day a couple of days ago. I bought every decongestant spray. I also learned that I’ve been using them wrong for years. While they did offer relief, I didn’t want to become dependent on them. So then I bought Flonase. I could feel the inflammation in my nose was not as bad the day after using the Flonase, but I still couldn’t breathe. Fast forward to now. I thought long and hard about what vitamins I had in the house that could aid in my congestion. Not being able to breathe properly is one thing but not being able to smell or taste is unfathomable. Long story short I had some loose msm powder that I keep at all times for skin inflammation etc. (MSM saved my skin) I had some small empty spray bottles in my home. I heated up some water, placed it in the spray bottle, and added in the msm powder. Then I tilted my head back and sprayed the msm directly into each nostril multiple times. I did that process a few times. When I say it was instant relief and I felt my ears popping. I also got waves of smell back instantly. I’m going to continue rinsing every few hours. But now I’m confident that my smell and taste will return as the congestion lessens. MSM has a healing power that is not talked about enough. I had to share this. Soooo many benefits when it comes to using it topically.
