NeilMedSinus Rinse Starter Kit (Pack of 2)

My doctor said I needed to start doing this so I purchased this on Amazon. It worked like a dream and in two weeks I was 100% again. Now I have it around for whenever I need it.

simple to use, effective

It can be more effective than a Neti pot simply because you apply pressure to make it work rather than allowing gravity to do the job.I love mine and use it whenever I feel blocked

This is my placeholder prior to having septoplasty. I LOVE this stuff! I can smell so well after flushing my nose in the mornings.Edit: I had the septoplasty and I can finally breathe. I will continue using these because it flushes all the allergens and buildup. I love this stuff!

Doctor recommended nasal rinses. This one is good and easy to use. I recommend buying the little stand that holds it upright so it can drain. It's not expensive. For safety, boiled or distilled water is recommended. You don't want to wash toxins from local water into your nostrils.

I've been using the Neilmed Sinus Rinse system for years and years. I have allergies and sinus issues and I don't like to take a lot of decongestants (I'm on blood pressure medication), but this product helps clear things out and doesn't affect the blood pressure. When I don't use it for a week or so, my nose gets all clogged and feels pretty gross (I recently had oral surgery with excessive bleeding afterwards, and I didn't use this during that time and for about a week after, so I've experienced this recently). After 2-3 days of using this in the morning, though, I am good to go again.I have recently gotten my husband into at least occasional use of the sinus rinse system, mostly after he has done yard work (where he is exposed to pollen) or has been sanding something in the basement (even though he also wears a mask). He doesn't have the same allergy problems I do, but he doesn't like to take a lot of medication and this works when he needs it to. I was definitely happy to find the two pack of bottles (this is not an item you want to share) without a ridiculous number of salt packets, because I already have a couple of open bags of refill packets in the kitchen, and I didn't want to accumulate more. Now my husband and I can each have new ones (we don't replace every 90 days as recommended, but maybe every 5 or 6 months).I only use the sinus rinse in the morning. I find that if I do it at night, and I do it too late, I have drainage down the back of my throat, and I can never remember to use it like an hour before bed (which would be fine). So mornings it is. I keep a big jug of distilled water in the kitchen exclusively for sinus rinsing. There are sometimes things in municipal water supplies that are fine to ingest orally but that you don't really want to shoot into your head up close to your brain. I microwave the water in the main body of the sinus rinse container for 30 seconds, add my salt packet, shake, and wait until the temperature is comfortable before rinsing. I would definitely not recommend doing this with cold water.Anyway, this is a convenient package size of a product I'm a longtime fan of. Definitely glad I found it.

I've used this sinus rinse bottle for years. It works well for me and easier to use than a neti pot. One caveat, however, is the quality of the plastic bottle seems to get less sturdy with each order. I can only assume that the company is trying to reduce the cost of the plastic. It's still okay, but I wonder about the future. Also, I toss out the enclosed rinse packets. One half teaspoon of kosher salt in the 8 oz. of distilled water works better for me. This is not medical advice; only my opinion.

I have been using this sinus rinse for a year now due to chronic sinus issues. I used to use a Neti Pot but this system is so much easier. You do have to change the bottles every 3 months but with the two pack it makes it a lot easier. I also learned that as you start to begin your rinse, repeat the letter K which stops the water from going in your throat.
