Customer Reviews of Sinus Buster Classic Formula by Sinus Buster - .68 Ounces
Customer Review: It stings..get over it - not as much as a headache
Summary: 5 Stars
I am going on my third sinus infection of the fall season. Needless to say, I'm over it. For the first two, I consulted a doctor and did the whole "z-pak" thing. Which worked wonders, temporarily.
While I am not necessarily anti-antibiotics, I have always been concerned that the overuse of them will cause havoc in the future.
I decided to consult with the owner of the local health food store about non-antibiotic options to my sinus infection problems.
She suggested two things.
1). A neti-pot - which I use on a fairly regular basis.
2). Sinus Buster
....here's my disclaimer. Before suggesting Sinus Buster she asked me, "are you tough?". I think so. "Then try this".
I had been suffering from a headache for three days and I had two options....stick a needle in my forehead to drain the junk out...or spray cayenne pepper up my nose.
"Yes, I'm tough"...I replied (not to mention desperate to get rid of the headache).
I bought Sinus Busters and literally sprayed it in my nostrils in the parking lot. I hadn't been stuffy and wasn't carrying kleneex in my purse so imagine my surprise when my nose started running like a faucet.
...thankfully, I had planned to clean my car that day and had some paper towels in the front seat.
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't painless...but it worked. My three-day headache (that Advil, Tylenol, and even Excedrin PMS didn't touch)...was fading away with every disgusting nose-blow.
.....so in a nutshell - yes, it hurts, a bit. But is it worth it? Absolutely. Realistically...what is more painful? A sinus headache...lasting for days without relief - or the little burning, stinging sensation that comes from a natural approach to treating it?
Customer Review: It rocks my world...
Summary: 5 Stars
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...
Customer Review: ATENTION!!! AFRIN AND VICK SPRAYS ADDICTS
Summary: 5 Stars
I was addicted to vick nasal spray with the same component as afrin, for over two years, I tried to quit but after 4 days I gave up couldn't breath and was severely congested, but by accident I came around to this product and my mother suffers from it a lot so I brought 2 bottles to her, then I finally told her, I was an afrin addict and she well comforted me and said, hey try this sinus buster works for my congestion and I said no cause I have something else but I thought, well won't die for trying and I put it on and fell the high burn but it decongested me for 10 secs and congested again, but after a while I was talking to my mother, WOW I WAS BREATHING TROUGH MY NOSE!!! of course not fully uncongested, but my mom told me to take her other flask, and I applied it 3 shots on each nostril, 3 times a day and amazing after 4 days I was breathing!!! I breath normally now, it's been 3 months now and I haven't been in need of sinus buster it compleatly helped me get over my addiction, I suffer from allergies so I tried allergy one and works amazing as soon you feel a allergy comming right up, apply it and it's supressed!!! no more itchy nose, runny works like a charm.
Cons: Burns like hell! makes you almost cry but the burn sensation goes away with the use.
Pros: Natural, non addictive, can help you overcome chemical nasal spray addiction like afrin and vick, and the need of it's use decreases.
I totally recomend this product with my eyes closed.
Customer Review: The product works
Summary: 5 Stars
Sinus Buster Classic "Sinus & Headache" Formula with Our Special Capsaicin Pepper Extract - 100% Natural
I suffer from recurring nasal polyps, chronic sinus infections, and year round allergies. There are times when my nasal passages are so blocked with mucus I can't breathe out my nose at all let alone use any nasal sprays. This product is the only thing I have found that is able to break through the mucus in order to allow my sinuses to drain, and I have tried every known medication and homeopathic remedy out there to cure my sinus problems. It has not cured my sinus problems, but it has helped me to have a normal day when nothing else has to at least clear my sinuses enough that I can go ahead and use a neti pot to clear the rest out, which I would also highly recommend. It can be uncomfortable to use at first but if you're like me and are desparate to try anything, this is definitely worth checking out.
This is my first time writing a review and knowing it may help someone else has prompted me to do so. I would also recommend staying on your regularly prescribed medications, but I have found that adding Cayenne pepper, nettle, Vitamin C and Zinc supplements to my vitamin intake has also helped keep my sinus issues in check.
Customer Review: I can smell and taste!
Summary: 5 Stars
After 7 years of diminshed and complete loss of smell and taste due to chronic sinusitus ( 3 operations with no improvement and ongoing meds and steroids) my smell and taste are returning. Loss of smell feels like a form of blindness. It leaves you in the dark unable to recognize spoiled food, gas escaping and everywhere odors we all take for granted.
I now have some hope of leading a normal life. I love this product! I hope the results last.
July 2009
My original review was submitted May 2008. My sinus health is still improving. I no longer take prednisone (a steroid) or zytec. I spray 2 or 3 times a week to maintain and once a day during the allergy season.
I feel wonderful being able to eliminate my steroid usage to maintain open sinuses. I feel the weaking of my bones after using them for about 10 years. I had 3 sinus surgeries in the past and never have I improved long term until I used this product. My blocked sinuses always led to infections and and other bronchial problems. I experienced allergic symptoms when spraying other pharmacy products. I feel no negative side effects with this product. Doctors should be informed of this.
Thank you, Sinus Buster!
