This is not new. I have known people, including myself, who regularly
"snort" cayenne pepper to clear sinuses and eliminate headaches caused by
clogged sinuses, tension and other causes. Some put the cayenne in water
and use it as drops to put in the nose, but I find that putting a dab on
your finger and snorting it straight has the most beneficial effect. It
has many medicinal uses such as tea, poultices etc.
