Spicy food is actually an ideal way to clear your sinuses. Capsaicin, the active ingredient in chili peppers, is a natural decongestant that can help clear nasal passageways and relieve symptoms of congestion and irritation. So if you’re looking to clear out those stuffy noses, grab some spicy food and get ready to feel the heat!

Capsaicin is also an anti-inflammatory and can help reduce the inflammation caused by sinusitis, allergies, and colds. Therefore, consuming spicy food is a natural way to clear sinuses and provide temporary relief from congestion and sinus pain.

Well one time I bought mustard powder from walmart's spices and baked goods section.

Because I wanted to make "home made mustard" and when I made it....... That was, so spicy on my sinus
Horseradish and mustard will blow your nose clean in seconds.
That special chinese mustard does the trick every time(and then some).
When I don't have any of that my fallback is Chipotle flavor Tobasco.

Not really. I'm not a fan of that feeling. I'd rather bite into a York Peppermint Patty.
Eat a Carolina reaper pepper and it will clear out everything. Sinuses, Chest congestion and colon.

Yes sometimes. Extra spicy thai food is really good for it.
Yes, and my sinuses really need it this season lol

$190 per pound. But considering the real thing is damn near impossible to find for any price, probably worth it.

Or, you could try a hydroponic setup and grow your own.

As for as colon goes, white miso works best, in my experience.
