When we get allergy symptoms, we use nasal rinses- these plastic squeeze bottles are easier and more packable than the "neti pots" so many use.

An Indian friend of mine says they've been using nasal rinses in India for a long time- it's a good way to treat nasal symptoms without needing to use any medicine.

Sometimes it takes a few days of consistent use to work on congestion symptoms, but you feel the clearing of your sinuses right away.

You can also make your own saline solution by mixing in 2-3 tsp of NON-iodized salt per liter of water- and you can fill the bottle with warm tap water. (The boxes may say to use distilled water, but, I figure, it's just passing thru- plus if you can DRINK tap water, you should certainly be able to use it for nasal rinse!) [If the saline stings your nose, you can also add 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda.]

(Hint- You may need to bend over and blow your nose with your head turned each way, afterward, depending on whether your sinuses curve or not. Or else, you may get a runny nose surprise when you lie down.)

My ENT told me to use this product as a prophylactic for asthma, on the assumption that sinus drainage was contributing to asthma. But when I had asthma symptoms and took this, it literally exploded in my nose -- asthma can cause acid breath, and baking soda (1 of the 2 ingredients) reacts with acid, producing heat and releasing gas. I also have diabetes, which also produces acid breath, and is worse when I'm ill. Within a fraction of a second, the chemical reaction scalded my nose and the pressure from expanding gasses pushed the reacting mix up into my sinuses. This is a great product IF you don't have acid breath -- but if you do, it can cause a painful problem!

    Wonderful way to keep congestion at bay...although I was told I could use it up to four times a day, I usually use it once, occasionally twice, per day.

          I have been using these packets in the Neil Med positive pressure bottle for my chronic sinusitis and they have worked wonders to clear my nose. Recently I had sinus surgery and used these packets up to six times a day right after surgery and it was so helpful in keeping the sinsues clean. I heat my water for 28 seconds in the microwave and then add the saline packet.

              This is great!!! I haven't slept this well in YEARS!!! I used to sneeze every morning while I was getting ready for work and my nose ran like crazy the whole time. This stopped it the very next morning!!! I thought I had other issues keeping me tossing and turning all night..well I must have been just struggling to BREATHE! I will never be without it. I do mix for the hypertonic solution, it seems to work best for me. I have already recommended it to all my friends! Who would have thought something like this would change your life?! Remember DO NOT USE UNTREATED TAP WATER! I use distilled.

                  Refill packets are just as you'd expect and product works well.

                  I was waiting to see if Drugstore.com would begin carrying the rectangular packets instead of the ubiquitous square ones (I received the rectangular ones in an order once), but after waiting awhile and looking around online, it doesn't seem like they're readily available... which is unfortunate since the rectangular packets are much easier to use and pour into the NeilMed bottles.

                    You can easily make your own---1/4 teaspoon sea salt and a pinch of baking powder to correct the pH. The envelopes are convenient and great for travel. I decided to live large and buy the prepared stuff, and it's always the right strength.
                    I resisted using a neti pot for years and years but it's really no big deal and you feel good after using it. I tend to use it when I'm drippy or congested, but really should use it daily for health maintenance.
