Except for the cotton gauze through the schnoz, I gotta say that cleaning your sinuses with salt water is out-farking-standing. Two thumbs up. And the first time I read about it with very nice color pictures ( nothing outwardly gross about it) I nearly puked. Now, heh, I flush the schnozola at least twice a week.
