Seagate Products Homeopathic Olive Leaf Nasal Spray (Pack of 1) 1 Ounce

I don't think the less than high reviews understand this product or what it does. It is a true miracle but please don't judge based on being misinformed. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT MEANT TO OPEN and CLEAR AIRWAYS!! It is designed to stop the problem that "caused" this and prevent it! Since being a child (I am 36 now) I have had chronic sinus issues and "had" to take prescription antihistamines all year along with antibiotics minimal 1 or 2 times a year for a full out infection. I am alergic only to mold and live in Florida so it is a perfect storm every summer with humid / mold ridden air. I discovered the "NetiPot" 6 years ago by watching Dr Oz and that little inexpensive tool changed my life! Using it twice a day created a 90% improvement in symptoms (stuffy nose, itchy throat, burning eyes, total blockage, wheezing, etc)which has allowed me to cut out Alegra 9 months of the year...I still need it July - September. The NetiPot also seemed to cut down on infections but I still had to get antibiotics once a year or so due to a major infection (high fever, chills, nasty stuff, etc) I hate antibiotics as they screw up your gut and have other nasty issues so the research continued. I learned (what my doctor never told me) that often (doctors now think this is like 90%) sinus infections are actually caused by "fungus" in the sinus not "bacteria." The "infection" that causes symptoms is indeed a 2nd bacterial infection that started from the fungus. So the antibiotics kill the bad bacteria which stops the fever, chills, and chronic stuff but also the "good bacteria" in your nose that fights the fungus. Kind of like killing the flora (good bacteria) in your gut which causes fungus (naturally in your gut too but bad stuff) to grow hence the need for pro-biotics only the same thing happens in your sinus as well. So I learned about SeaGate Olive Leaf Spray on a forum 3 years ago and learned the "active" ingredients are antiviral, antifungus, and antimold! I have not had an infection now or needed antibiotics for 3 years which for me is PROFOUND!! I don't use it all of the time but can feel when an infection is starting (extra itch, yellow mucus, tickle in throat, and a life experience of them, etc) I use the NetiPot followed by SeaGate spray in the nose for 2 - 3 days and it has stopped the infection in its tracks every time. It will not "clear" your nose and allow you to breathe (the NetiPot will) but it will kill the infection that caused your issue and prevent future infections! I still have to take allegra as well but very limited during peak seasons only but no antibiotics or infections for me 3 years now is AMAZING!

We’ve been buying this nasal spray for probably 20 years. Anytime I feel like I’m coming down with something I’ll take it for a day or two and rarely does it turn into a full blown cold. Anytime I get into anything moldy (a rogue moldy hay bale, or my aunts musty basement) I’ll take it and it relieves symptoms so fast.

Excellent product. We use this product as well other products from this company line as maintenance for cold and flu season.

I think this as good as it gets for a nonhabit forming nasal spray for congestion. It does help clear my nasal congestion but only for a few hours.

This product works better than the sinus med that my doctor prescribes. I've purchased several times and am happy that this product is available. It doesn't wire me out, or make me drowsy. Non-addictive. Much appreciated! 💯

Help clear my sinus, trust it for my family.

If you're reading this review, I have to assume you are going through some similar trials and tribulations with chronic sinus problems. If not, you may wish to skip the graphic detail in this review. (It's necessary to share the severity of the problem I have had in order to describe the benefit this product has begun to impart.) About two decades ago I suffered from chronic sinus/tonsillitis infections. I went on so many courses of antibiotics by the time I entered college that I lost access to just about every antibiotic a doctor could prescribe thanks to dangerous outbreaks of hives. Early on, I kept being misdiagnosed with allergic rhinitis and even went though two years of allergy shots, which did not relieve my symptoms (of which horrible fatigue was a daily reality). It wasn’t until I narrowly missed a traffic accident thanks to peripheral vision loss that I underwent vision tests and an MRI that showed my sinus infection was so severe that the inflammation had impinged my optic nerve (a rare complication of chronic sinus infection). As I have gotten older, problems have crept back up on me despite undergoing two sinus surgeries some 20 years ago. I controlled symptoms successfully for about five years with a Neti pot, but if I skipped a single day's use, I would develop the tale-tale infection symptoms. After I moved to a dry climate, nothing was doing any good anymore. I invested in a whole-house humidifier which at least gave me relief from the 24/7 headaches. But the infection continued to worsen. Finally, I saw an ENT (ear/nose/throat specialist). He ordered a CT scan but was convinced, based on the initial consultation, that I was having allergy symptoms. He told me to use Nasonex, which like the Flonase I had used in the past, ultimately made things worse. (I suspect my infection at this juncture is not bacterial but fungal, for which steroid nasal sprays are akin to piling logs on a fire.) Nonetheless, I was desperate for relief and complied against my better judgment with his Nasonex suggestion. It wasn't until a year later, when I could not longer tolerate the formation of blood clots in my nose, that I obtained a copy of the CT he had ordered. I learned the hard way that it is important to read (request) your own test results as a patient because there are things that can be missed, otherwise. The radiologist very plainly stated I had "sinus disease" but the ENT never told me! This experience suggested that some 20 years later, ENTs don't really have anything new in their tool chest to offer chronic sinus infection suffers. If anything, they have less to offer those of us with sinus disease because they are not as apt to prescribe antibiotics and, even though studies have shown that many sinus infections are fungal in origin, they are reluctant to treat for that too. Why? Because anti-fungal drugs are incredibly hard on the liver and can't be given for any length of time without close monitoring (blood tests), whereas antibiotic resistance is so feared by physicians that, in the words of one doctor I saw, "We don't even prescribe antibiotics for sinus infection anymore except for patients who have a fever." Long story short, I knew I needed another answer — and I was on my own to find it. Having nothing to lose, I purchased this product. While it doesn't immediately unblock a stuffy nose — it is not a nasal decongestant — the results have improved with each passing day of successive use. My guess is that if you suffer seasonal allergies you may not notice a significant improvement — antihistamines will probably be more helpful, in that case — whereas if you have an infection, this product is going to make a difference if you stick with it on a daily basis. Within a week, I can breath better than I could with nasal steroids. Why? Because my nose is no longer being blocked by scabs that were attempting to form around the inflamed tissue. It's too early to tell if this is really a "cure" vs. providing symptomatic relief. Still, this is a godsend in a bottle. Although I am a regular vitamin/supplement buyer, I had never heard of this product and did not stumble across it until I began searching for an alternative to saline nasal sprays here on Amazon. Doctors are understandably reluctant to prescribe antibiotics or antifungals for sinus infections, which are notoriously hard to treat. But rather than ignoring such patients — allowing their quality of life to deteriorate — they should at least be willing to tell their patients about this product. I would encourage anyone who has an experience similar to mine to bring this product to their doctor and suggest that they pass on the word. What I would have given to know that there was something I could do other than saline and suffering!
