According to a news broadcast by CBS 3 News, Philadelphia, Sinus Buster was accidentally discovered for the treatment of headaches (see Resources for a video of the newscast). The original product was used as pepper spray, though upon being sprayed for an advertisement, Wayne Perry discovered its effectiveness at relieving headache pain. The product is now widely available and is considered safe, natural and useful for treating cluster headaches, migraines and chronic sinus irritation and infections.
All Natural
Capsaicin, a natural chemical extracted from hot peppers, is the main ingredient in Sinus Buster. It is thought to treat various conditions including headaches and allergy symptoms such as sinus congestion and pain, though the exact method of effectiveness is unclear. The product is thought to work by blocking pain signals (substance P) that can cause migraine pain. In addition, Sinus Buster is thought to increase mucus secretions, which may help allergy sufferers, and dilate constricted blood vessels that can tighten and lead to headache pain, similar to the way prescription triptans work on migraines. The product is natural and safe for extended use. Other natural ingredients include purified water, vegetable glycerin, vitamin C, citric acid, sea salt and rosemary extract.
Instant Relief
The relief that can be experienced with Sinus Buster may be instant for those experiencing headaches---even migraines. This is good news for migraine sufferers, because medications like popular prescription triptans can take up to an hour to provide relief. For those with chronic sinus and allergy conditions, however, regular use may be needed to fight the symptoms that can flare up with exposure to pollen and other irritants.
Over-The-Counter
Sinus Buster is widely available on the Web and in popular stores. Unlike most effective treatments for migraine headaches, the product can be purchased without a prescription. In 2009, a 35 ml bottle of Sinus Buster can be purchased for under $20.
