I want this for nasal microbiome. I think modern living is wreaking havoc on our upper respiratory track. We need to find a way to regenerate or improve nasal cavity microbiome.

Just don’t get caught insufflating your probiotics during lunch hour :)
I think your best bet is first curing your allergies. That's what I've been working on for 5 years: www.wyndly.com
how do you test for allergens? i did 5 years of immunotherapy shots, twice weekly at a doctors office and i had to stay 30 minutes after each shot for the anaphylaxis risk. it worked quite well but it was really inconvenient.
my allergy is triggered by dust mites and pollen. Not sure what the anit-mites component is in a healthy sinus cavity, but i'm sure I'm missing it. I think essentially the equivalent of wax in our ear canal. As for pollen, go figure on that one, boost my testosterone levels? I don't know.
Nasal rinsing may help. In my case, it reduced my number of colds per year from 6 to approx. 1, and they also tend to be milder. This was likely accompanied by some change in nasal microbiome as well.
I'll look into this, maybe a salty flush. Logic is... people who live at sea or beach will 100 percent have a very saline/salty sinus cavity. So either salt sauna, or salt nasal rinse.
Fresh air
I do suspect it is the grounding effect, not bare feet, but walking on bare dirt ground and among trees and plants. The logic would be that whatever causes allergies, say pollen, nature creates the antidote as well, but we have been living in our modern concrete sanitized houses for so long, that we don't expose our noses to nature's chemicals.
