    James.  I can only suggest Evening Primrose Capsules. See my post Sinus infection-An Effective Treatment. The Evening Primrose oil will certainly help you, as it desensitises the nervous system, and should relieve the dryness. Another oil that may be beneficial is fish oil. Best of luck with your problem.

      My naturopath told me it's a process of elimination in relation to diet and what triggers ie yeast infection and sinus problems. It's an ongoing challenge to slowly finding a cure in my case chronic rhino sinusitis
