I find it is GREAT in the morning and clears up my sinuses for the day, which I love. I also put in some pine needle essential oil. The pine needle EO is an astringent, so it helps in the slight chance you nick yourself. (I can attest to this. I used this since I started with a SR and had a nice sized nick on my cheek. Didn't even notice it happened until I saw the scab later in the day. The Pine needle stopped the bleeding and sped up the healing time. The cut was gone in 2 days!)
Hopefully you have the same great experience I have had. Keep us posted on how it works out for you!
