    salt water up the nose has been practiced for centuries (eg in yoga) as a proven means of clearing the sinuses (and as an surfer can testify), but did lol at this marketing.

    Well at least it's been purified
    Anyway, I suppose we don't have planes dropping out of the skies into our rivers and seas (touch wood!).
    Anyone remember the super-oxygenated water you could buy? Don't know if they still sell it though.
