My expectations of grapefruit seed extract have been a FLOP

I ordered GSE because I'd read when used as a sinus irrigator its antibacterial, antifungal etc. properties helped others control their bad breath and reduce PND. While waiting for GSE to arrive I used tea tree oil and water as a nasal irrigator and this did help a lot. The PND and bad taste reduced, and nose became unblocked which was a great relief at night, but the smell remained.
When the GSE arrived I used it immediately and for a couple of days after, which is enough time for it to start working. What happened ? The PND, blocked nose and bad taste returned with a vengence. So I've gone back to using tea tree oil as I believe its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-everything else is much better than GSE.
GSE has been reduced to the back of the drawer until I find another use for it. Another wasted purchase](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif)
