Hi @fdixon63, I'd like to tag @brigby and @jenniferhunter as they may be able to share their experiences with nasal rinse. Has your doctor recommended the use of tea tree oil in your nasal rinse?

Hello @jenniferhunter @ethanmcconkey @fdixon63 Thank you for the tag re: sinus issues. I culture m. Abscessus (fast grower), MRSA, and Acintobacter Baumanii in my sinuses regularly. My ENT, ID doctor & Pulmonologist at Stanford are all thrilled with how well I’m doing since beginning using the Navage Sinus rinse device. I add my Gentamicin antibiotic and Budesonide to it, as inhalants. (This spares my GI tract a little, since I don’t have to take them orally.) I was scheduled for a 3rd & final sinus surgery last January, and we were able to postpone that! God has been merciful to me so far, and I stand in humble gratitude. I hope this information will help others!

I used it for a couple of weeks in August. When I talked to my ENT during a follow up appt. on Aug. 19, he said he had heard some of his patients talk about using Tea Tree Oil but he can only recommend saline rinses. After that I did stop but don't think it was hurting anything so may use again. Thanks.
