Summary: Effective relief for a myriad of upper respiratory problems!
Comment: My ENT handed me one of these units after a visit a few years ago, but I didn't immediately latch onto it. Since I dug it out and started using it, I've found that twice-daily use WILL keep me infection-free.

I like this system! The low pressure of the squeeze bottle gives a little turbulence but is not harsh, and the volume of irrigant is adequate to effectively clean the nose. I now recommend it to almost any patient who comes in with an upper respiratory problem.

For chronic sinusitis, irrigation washes out bacteria and inflammatory mediators, and loosens hardened secretions. People with allergies can use it to rinse out pollen and other particles. Those who are exposed to dusts and other irritants can now rinse them out. I even found that during a recent bad cold, this was the only thing that reduced my nasal misery!

During the winter, when humidity is low, irrigation becomes absolutely critical to moisturize the nose and keep secretions flowing.

A few tips to aid use:
- First, it is fine to use the tap water in most of the US. People with un-chlorinated well water probably DO want to boil it before use, but the rest of us can just turn on the tap.
- Secondly, the temperature of water you want to use is a little cooler than what you would want to use to bathe or shower, and warmer than lukewarm.
- The stronger the salt solution, the more water it will pull out of your nasal tissues, and the more it will reduce swelling, though it may burn. You can play with the concentration by using more or less water, or an extra salt packet, or the hypertonic packets.
-I make my own salt mix: combine 2 parts of canning salt (you want to avoid not the iodine, but the anti-caking agents in table salt) with one part of baking soda in an airtight container, then use about 1/2 teaspoon per bottle (more to make a stronger solution). However, only those with a high tolerance for adventure should use this mix when traveling, lest TSA get excited about that white powder! It's good to keep some packets on hand for traveling.
- Irrigation not only helps your nose get better, it helps you monitor how your nose is doing. If you are getting globs of pus out of your nose, you have a sinus infection (sinusitis). Twice-daily irrigation will usually start the infection clearing, and you will see that the pure pus gives way to large volumes of pus-tinged mucus, then decreasing amounts of clear mucus.
- You may get random drips out of your nose after irrigation, so it is good to have a couple of tissues in your pocket in case they hit!

Nasal irrigation IS the best way to control chronic sinusitis. It will reduce populations of bacteria AND fungi, and you don't have to worry about antibiotic resistance OR yeast infections or diarrhea, or increased blood pressure as you see with decongestants. It is less expensive than nasal steroids.

AND, it is safe to use in pregnancy, or with kids. My nurse's son LOVES his irrigator and it has taken care of his chronic sinusitis - no more bad little-boy breath! Even my fuss-bucket 8-year-old loves to gross his father by showing off the disgusting stuff he has gotten out of his nose.

In summary, this is definitely worth a try if you have nasal problems. Use it twice a day for at least two weeks to really get an idea of how it works. IF you are seeing changes in the quality of your nasal secretions, bear with it; you will be glad you did.

Summary: Effective! At last!
Comment: This product did what the first week of antibiotics plus Advil and Sudafed could not--relieve painful sinus pressure and ease the subsequent headache!

Not a cure-all for nasal issues, but an incredible way to ease your congestion symptoms before you get to the doctor or while waiting for sinus infection meds to kick in.

Summary: Useless
Comment: It works as described and as the instructions direct, but it does not relieve my sinus pressure.

Summary: simply effective
Comment: My allergist recommended the neti pot or waterpik options. The waterpik option worked great, but logistics made it a rare thing for me to use. Then this summer I traveled from my home in Florida to Anchorage, Alaska for a few weeks. Having spent way too much time on a plane I wound up with the worst sinus infection of my life, no participating providers for my health insurance in the entire state. Of course I had left my waterpik at home too! After much searching I finally found the neilmed 8oz at a grocery store (sorry amazon couldn't wait, and no drugstores in AK!). A day after I used the neilmed I was much better. I'll be using it 2x a day for a week before any more flights and it will travel with me for certain.

The waterpik method I think is slightly more effective (pulsation) but the logistics are so much more complicated, I'll never use it again. Also helps greatly with post-nasal drip.

The one suggestion I didn't see having gone through all 5 pages of reviews is make sure to remove from nose before allowing to refill the air. Seems common sense, but...

Summary: Works great!
Comment: The product works great. Was delivered on time. It takes a little getting used to. My only problems has been fitting it into my schedule. It only takes a few minutes, but you can't do it before you leave in the morning or before you go to bed. However, when I do use it, it is easy and fast and my nasal passages don't dry out and I feel better.
