health slide...
Okay, my sinuses are kicking my butt with my winter allergies, so I just ordered a small handheld nebulizer. Never used one before. What I’m reading says food grade hydrogen peroxide is a good thing to use with it, but I’m seeing it comes in 3%, 6% and 12% solutions. Which one do I buy?
I can sympathize and empathize with those of you with breathing problems, as this has been keeping me up a lot at night, and I’ve been quite sleep-deprived of late. I’m very thankful I got hit with the coof well before this happened, because I just can’t imagine it all at once... actually, this is way worse than the coof was for me, which was over and done in a couple days. Allergy season is more like 2 months on average.
Any other nebulizer hints or suggestions (non-drug, of course) will be appreciated - feel free to FRmail me so as not to clutter things here ThankQ!
You could buy any of those, but the ones higher than 3% you’ll have to dilute with distilled water. If you are going to nebulize H2O2, only use 3% food grade.
I would suggest an alternative. Huffing 100% oregano will give better and more immediate results.
Save your money and send the handheld thing back. Best to get a jet nebulizer. I paid $100 for mine.
For sinuses, use the SinuPulse, it’s about $90. 100 times better than a neti pot. Easy to use, kicks allergies and a cold to the curb.
I also sent you a pm.
I’m posting this to the list, because a hand held nebulizer doesn’t get deep into the lungs, like a jet nebulizer will.
And really, the best for sinuses is the SinuPulse. I wish people would stop messing with a neti pot, when this machine is far more effective.

Some of the food grade H2O2 comes in 35%, and you have to dilute it down with distilled water.
3% H2O2 is good for room air humidifier.
1.5% if you will be directly inhaling it.
