Suffering from a stuffy nose? Try this pepper-packed remedy.

When you're congested, you don't feel so hot.

We suffer from year-round allergies, so every morning we wake up like one of Snow White's seven dwarves: Stuffy, sneezy and headache-y.

But when we heard that the creator of the Sinus Buster nasal spray ($14.99), used to teach self-defense classes and discovered that his allergies cleared up after he got hit with pepper spray, we hesitated. You want us to spray what...where?

The all-natural spray is made with capsaicin pepper, which breaks through sinus pain and congestion. We gave it a shot, and after we got over the shock of the intense burn (yes, our eyes teared up a little), we noticed we were breathing easier. (Hint: Start with the mild formula for less heat.) The next day, we tried the Allergy Buster, which adds a dose of nettle to combat sneezing and nasal drip, too. Success! We were able to take a break from our prescription nasal spray that day.
