Can black currant seed oil help sinus inflammation?

Not sure. You might look at black seed oil though, the oil from the nigella sativa plant. I rub a drop or two of oil on a couple of fingers and shove them up my nose. Then I pinch my nose for about 15 seconds. It will feel hot and tingly at first but will subside into relief. Taking it internally can help too.
