I had been aware of this product for some time prior to my purchase. I had refrained from buying for a couple of reasons: First I was skeptical of the Sinus Buster claims and was hesitant to spend more than US$15 on a product I was unsure of from a company that I had never heard of.

Well, by happy accident I discovered that Sinus Buster products were available through Amazon. So I had no reason NOT to buy.

Shortly after receiving the "classic" formula (Sinus and Headache) I had the opportunity to try it out.

First some background: I suffer from chronic sinus problems-- pain, pressure. No over-the-counter drug has really offered me any relief with the side-effects (drowsyness and extreme, painful nasal dryness). I typically treat my problems, when they arise, with nasal irrigation-- the single most effective therapy for my sinus troubles. However, sometimes the sinus pain (which feels like I have a rusty nail driven through my eye-socket) is too much for any pain-killer. Tylenol is useless and only an NSAID (like Advil) has ANY effect if i take it in time.

So, one afternoon I felt a sinus headache coming on. I knew that I'd be debilitated and grumpy for the rest of the day if I didn't do something. (Even with Advil I'd still be a little irritable.) So I decided that the prime opportunity to try Sinus Buster had arrived.

With little hope of achieving any real effects (besides a predicted peppery burning in my nose) I gave the Sinus Buster a shot.

The results were instant and amazing. With a single spray in each nostril my headache was obliterated. Seriously this is the first time that I have ever thought of something "working like magic". Sure enough I experienced a strong peppery burn deep inside my nose (somewhere between my eyes). As a fan of hot and spicy foods this was not at all unpleasant (and not nearly as strong as some salsas I've had in the past!) and the initial "burn" and subsiding warmth is actually quite pleasant when suffering from sinus pain and pressure.

So now i have two very effective threapies in my fight with my sinus problems: nasal irrigation and the excellent Sinus Buster spray.

I hope I don't sound like an undercover shill for the company. After having suffered almost a decade with sinus pain, pressure and congestion (that would virtually incapacitate me and leave my face tender and upper molars hurting) I'm just thrilled to have a product that works without the trade-off of uncomfortable side-effects.

I can't recommend this stuff highly enough!

I have suffered 3 years with chronic sinus problems. I went on antibiotics which made me feel great -- temporarily. Then I started researching and found out that a sinus infection is most likely fungal based (check out the research on the Mayo Clinic website and other reputable medical websites). This means that antibiotics, while making a temporary cure, cause the problem to be worse, coming back with a vengeance. I checked into surgery, which also can be a temporary measure for some people. And then I found Sinus Buster and after 3 weeks of using this product, I literally came alive. It has been 6 months, and my sinus problem has not returned. I use it intermittently when my allergies or cold symptoms start to appear. THANK YOU SINUS BUSTER!!!

I have suffered for over 30 years with allergies, sinus headaches, and migraines. I've used Flonase, Imitrex, Zomig, coke, artificial hormones, humidifier, hot teas, and many, many over the counter medications. I've also resorted to nasal irrigation. Many times the cure was worse than the disease. (Drugs can have such awful side-effects) At best I found little relief for a chronic, debilitating condition.

Sinus Buster hot pepper spray has worked by far the best of any remedy I've tried. I've tried the mild and found it completely ineffective for my needs but I have really bad headaches. However, the hot pepper spray will eventually clear my head and amazingly cure my headache. At times, I still need to rest, relax and keep quiet for a while after using the spray until I feel better. And for a really bad headache, I often have to use the spray approximately three times before my headache goes away. I now use the spray whenever my head is stopped up. I don't wait for a headache to start. This has helped prevent headaches. The spray causes my sinuses to start draining which relieves the pressure in my head.

I still am very careful with my diet. Low salt, no MSG or artificial additives, monitor blood sugar levels, avoid chocolate, etc. But most times I get a headache no matter what preventative measures I take.

When using the spray, there is a hot, burning sensation like after eating jalepeno but very soon the momentary burning becomes associated with welcomed relief. It's nothing compared to headache pain.

My husband hates hot, spicy food and was very skeptical when I first started using Sinus Buster. Then he began getting chronic sinus headaches and infections (antibiotics were useless) but refused to try my nasal spray until he started missing work because of headaches. (we live in a damp, moldy climate) Finally, in desperation, he tried Sinus Buster. He had to use it several times, then quietly stopped complaining about the headache. Later when I realized he was no longer complaining, he admitted that Sinus Buster had "cured" the headache. He hated to admit I was right. Now he carries his own bottle.

Sinus Buster doesn't work every time for a migraine, but it is by far the best relief I've ever found. Not only do I never leave the house without it, it is now the only remedy I use for a headache. No side effects!

I use Sinus Buster headache Formula to keep my migraines away, but my husband uses the Sinus Buster allergy formula for his allergies. There's something about the nettle in this formula that seems to keep my husband's allergies from triggering. it's absolutely amazing! He has tried so many prescription and non prescription allergy medicines and nothing has ever worked like this stuff. He says the pepper burns a little, but it works immediately and it leaves his nose feeling refreshed. His sense of smell has also returned thanks to Sinus Buster.

I am constantly stuffy from bad sinuses, and this stuff actually works pretty well to clear it up. It burns a bit, but I think that is what actually makes it work--like eating really spicy food clears your sinuses. After a couple days use it seemed to loose some of it's effectiveness. It's like my sinuses are getting too used to it, and the stuffiness mostly comes back within the half hour.

It's worth a try if your sinuses really bother you. I've not decided if I'll buy it again after this bottle is gone though.

I had had my sinuses infected for about 12 years before I came across with Sinusbuster earlier this winter. I started using it as soon as the delivery of the product, and was more than happy to witness the progress of healing. I used it for two weeks, once in the morning and once before I went to bed at night. Short term results were flushed sinus fluid and an instant relief after each spray-session. Long term results have been almost-total draining of the infected sinus fluid, easier and better breathing through nasal passages, better sleep, better daily-mood, diminishing headache and overall raised quality of life.

I live in upstate NY and have spent several winters. Originally being from a much warmer climate, I thought I was not going to make it through my 7th year in the Northeast. Yet, I was proven wrong by this product. This has been the best single investment I have made on my health, and the fact that it is all-natural felt safe and comfortable.

I have been recommending the "Sinus Buster Hot Pepper Nasal Spray" to everyone that I know with a painful sinus infection and/or related issues. This is not your ideal product, if you are relatively dry. You ought to be "stuffed," in order to get the best out of this spray. Again, if you are dry and still suffering from sinus related headaches and such, then you should try the neti-pot.

I am not looking forward to ordering another bottle, since all I needed was half of my first order! Besides wearing a wool hat outdoors and drying my hair after each shower, my long-infected chronic sinus issues have been naturally and successfuly treated! I highly recommend that you consume natural papaya & pinapple enzyme tablets to thin the mucus throughout the year, especially during winter. This spray will work much better if your mucus is thin, since it will be much more likely to be flushed with less pressure and greater comfort. Good luck!

this product works and is EXTREMLY PAINFUL. had been using sinol decided to give this a try due to reviews. sinol worked just as well and not NEAR as painful!!! and i mean it hurts.....A LOT. my husband tried it to test how painful it could possibly be....he almost screamed with pain. so painful i can not use as often as i would like because i dread the pain that follows. just ordered 2 bottles of sinol....think i will stick with this spray for my migranes and allergies. these are fabulous products. have really helped.

Seems to help me with intense sinus pressure - has worked to reduce or eliminate face numbing pain (even the horrifying condition when one side of your face is so swollen with throbbing pain you are heating piles wet wash cloths in the microwave and burying your face in them for relief).

Side effects - yes, it will burn a bit (but easy to get used to), might make you sneeze (worse side effect for me), nose run, etc. I am using this as needed between morning/evening sinu-cleanse netipot (better netipots are below). Seems to open up eustation tubes as well. I must admit this regime has been the only technique that has brought real relief - no meds have every worked as well.

I have allergy related sinus trouble - I'm not prepared to say it has made a difference in my hayfever reaction - however, I have not tried the nettle version. For adjusting to winter weather high pressure/low pressure shifts, this does seem to help quite a bit. I bet it might help "airplane ear".

I can say that using these remedies (netipot and sinus buster), greatly reduced (nearly eliminated) my intense sinus pain and for this I am really grateful. So look beyond the "As Seen On TV" hype, this is low risk and might be worth a try. Info on netipot below (get over the yuck factor - it really, really works well):

The sinus buster really is the BEST of the natural nasal sprays I've tried...I'm out of it right now and sorely feeling its absence. My problem is chronic sinus infections. Allergy shots have helped me greatly but I still have minor flare-ups from time to time, and this is my go to product (besides heavy use of vitamin C and nasal irrigation).

Unlike other products that don't deliver what they claim, this works every time for my congestion, inflammation, and pain.

To UPDATE, 2/19/09:

This continues to be one of the few products that really works for me. My septum is deviated and I often have one-sided sinus pain, to the point where my right ear, eye, and upper molars throb and ache. Yes, I should probably have it surgically corrected, but with three kids it's hard to find the downtime. Sometimes 600mg of ibuprofen won't even knock the pain, but Sinus Buster will, and it's easier on my poor organs than ibuprofen! My biggest complaint is that after it's been on the market for so long, it STILL isn't readily available in local stores. CVS now sells it...online only. It is SO annoying to have to wait for it to come in the mail when I'm miserable. I asked my local health food store if they'd consider carrying it, but they weren't interested since it wasn't available through their distributor. Instead they tried to talk me into their homeopathic crap. Yeah right, I need more than placebos thank you. So here I sit praying it arrives before my infection sets in so deep that I have no choice but antibiotics...

I've tried just about everything for sinus relief. Some prescription medication works well, but makes my heart race and causes severe fatigue.

Sinus Buster, however, is fantastic. After the first week of regular use (Allergy Formula) I was practically "stuffy nose" free. I only use the spray occasionally now (after a month), most often at night to help keep me clear while sleeping. Everyone has noticed my usual hacking cough caused by sinus drainage "tickling" the back of my throat is now gone.

I also tried the "mild" formula, but it wasn't as helpful. I didn't notice a significant difference in the momentary "burn".
