SinuCleanse Squeeze Nasal Wash Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first product that I have ever used for sinus irrigation, so I can't compare it to the other things on the market. I have only been using this for a week, but I have already gone from taking three doses of Sudafed a day to one, and I could probably stop the one I take first thing in the morning, but I am not that brave, yet.
I have sinus allergies and my headaches have been particularly bad lately, so I finally took the advice that I had been hearing for the last ten years and looked into netti pots. I found this device and thought that it looked easier to use and not as messy, so I gave it a try.
This one came with thirty packets of the powder that you mix with luke warm water to make the solution that you squirt up your nose. It only takes a few seconds to make up the solution and then you lean over the sink, put the nozzle in your nostril, point it toward the back of your head and squeeze half of the solution into your nose. The water runs out your other nostril like magic and then you do the other side. Blow your nose to remove any left over solution. All done.
I thought that it would hurt or be uncomfortable, but as long as you don't snort up the water as you are irrigating, it shouldn't be a big deal. It is just a bit odd the first few times that you do it. You can breathe through your mouth, but I just hold my breathe as I do it, since it doesn't take very long.
I have read that you can mix up your own powder with non-iodized sea salt and baking soda, if you don't want the expense of always buying the pre-measured stuff. I haven't tried it, but I know that you can do a google search for a recipe and to find out more about it.
I saw a video online where Drew, the Toothpaste For Dinner guy, did a netti pot demonstration with coffee and red wine and it gave me the courage to try the tame saline solution method. You might want to google that too, just because it is kind of funny.

NeilMed Sinus Rinse Regular Bottle Kit 1 kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After decades of sinus problems including frequent infections that often required multiple bouts of antibiotics to clear up, I was finally referred to an ENT specialist who prescribed sinus surgery. The partitions between my sinuses were all broken out in endoscopic surgery to allow better drainage. This bottle, in a kit with at least 50 premixed salt/baking soda packets, was required for use after the surgery 3x a day for two weeks and then 2x a day for a few more weeks, to keep the nasal cavities moist and wash out any crusts that had formed.
The sensation of having your sinuses filled with salt water takes a little getting used to, as well as learning how to breathe so as not to inhale the water. I never did get to the point of the other reviewer in letting it wash through my mouth -- ick. I bend over the sink and gently squeeze the bottle until the solution starts running out my other nostril, take the bottle away and snort it out, repeat with other nostril. Takes 3 squirts each side to empty the bottle. I've found I must tilt my head the opposite direction to fully empty that sinus -- i.e. if the bottle tip was inserted in my right nostril, I tilt my head to the left and blow. Have a tissue handy if you lean over later on, because some liquid may accumulate in your lower sinuses and run out when you bend sideways to look under the desk, for instance.
I still use this 2-3x a day whenever I get a cold along with the usual OTC cold meds and since the surgery I have never had to be on antibiotics, even though my sinuses still occasionally get infected I have been able to get over it on my own. The saline is very soothing to inflamed tissues (I also gargle salt water if I have a sore throat due to sinus drainage) and helps rinse out the gunk that causes infection. When the packets run out, just mix 2 parts salt to one part baking soda and use about 3/4 teaspoon of the mixture to dissolve in the bottle.
