Adding my voice to the chorus!
I bought this primarily for my son who has a constant post nasal drip, but since he's a little guy, I decided to experiment on myself first.<br /><br />While I don't suffer from ongoing, painful sinusitis like some of the other reviewers, I had a really bad sinus infection several years ago that left me with a significantly reduced ability to smell. Sometimes it's worse, sometimes better, but overall I really have to stick my nose in deep to smell anything.<br /><br />I'm currently on day 4 of L. Sakei and I'm kind of amazed... Starting today I can smell things, up close and from a distance. I was able to smell the Nasobiotex (Who knew it has a yeasty smell? Not me circa 3 days ago!). My very simple lunch has layers of flavor, too.<br /><br />In case it helps, I'll share my exact method. (Also, I hate the word snort--writing it, saying it, hearing it--so I want you to know I'm doing this out of my affection for you as a fellow human.)<br /><br />To deliver the L. Sakei as deep as into the nasal cavity as I can, I've been snorting it through a rolled up piece of paper.<br />- To make the straw, cut a clean sheet of paper.<br />- Roll it tightly around a pencil or pen.<br />- Tape it down, then slide off the pencil.<br />- I tried this with different pencil and pen widths and found that what works best is a wider straw that fits tightly in the nostril, almost no space around it.<br /><br />For the snorting, I place a clean piece of paper on the counter (a post-it note will do - not the sticky side, of course).<br />- Place two scoops of L. Sakei on the paper, an inch apart.<br />- Place the paper straw in one nostril and hold the other one closed.<br />- Snort away.<br />- Repeat on the other side.<br /><br />Next up, I give it to my son. I'll report back with an update soon.<br /><br />Good luck!
