A member asked:

In colombia a native remedy for sinusitis is to boil a loofah sponge in water, then apply a drop of the water into each nostril. dr's opinion on this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not safe: Sponges are not considered clean. They are actually considered "bacteria hotels". Not a good idea to be dropping water from a sponge into your nose. See a doctor.
