Xylitol nasal spray Has anyone used it ?
I had a dental appointment yesterday and was discussing my seemingly never ending sinus issues.He said that a patient had similar issues and tried Xylitol nasal spray and reported relief. Have any of you used it? Google is full of testimonials but I am asking you folks for some realtime conformation before I try it. What say you? Good sleep ,Chris

Chris, I have just started using Xlear pump spray for about 4-5 days now, it has xylitol. I am using it for both dry nose and congestion and my nose and breathing seems better. I like that it has no chemical preservatives in it. Some of the others have benzalkonium chloride, like the Ayr brand.
Hopefully some other forum members will have used it for sinus and can give you more info. And basically it doesn't cost a fortune, so why not just try it. I bought it at a Whole Foods cost about $15.

Actually Xylitol is used in chewing gum, toothpaste and a host of other items. But you are right, who thought of putting it up their nose! I guess because xylitol kills bacteria.

Many people say it works good for them. Only thing I did not like about it was that it had a preservative in it called something like benzalconiumchloride. Don't like what I have read about it. So I went with a more natural solution.
