First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether nasal drops made from Pistacia lentiscus oil (a natural plant oil) can help prevent chronic sinusitis from coming back. 100 adults with frequent sinus infections were followed for 12 months. One group used the oil drops plus a saltwater rinse, while the other group used only the saltwater rinse. The goal was to see if the oil could reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
