I bought a kit at Walgreens that comes with these salt packets and you mix it with warm water and off you go. It's fantastic... my doctor says it's like a massage for your nose... I don't know that I'd go that far, but it does feel good.<BR/><BR/>I had to start doing that about a year ago because I'd gotten addicted to nose spray - not that bad, but I'd gotten to a place where I couldn't stop using it without getting severe congestion. So nasal irrigation did the trick!Kim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611545652342361679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853162105956273226.post-82478252107027887242009-03-18T09:35:00.000-07:002009-03-18T09:35:00.000-07:00I haven't used this one, but we regularly irrigate...I haven't used this one, but we regularly irrigate our sinuses with a sinus rinse. My husband had been doing it for a long time, and when I got a most horrible sinus infection, he finally convinced me to try it. I was a bit scared to do it...I hate ANYTHING in my nose! But I did it, and it was amazing! Now when I feel a little bit of pressure coming on, I use it and seems I've headed off any more infections. The Netti Pot is a common one...what we use is the same concept, but not that brand.<BR/>I'd be careful using more of the solution though...with ours, it comes in packets and it says it is formulated to match the ph balance in our bodies or something like that, and using more could cause burning. I'm not saying don't...just be careful with increasing the amount. If I'm having a lot of sinus issues, I just use it more often. Usually once a day works for me (not every day...just when I need it), but sometimes 2 or 3 times a day is necessary. I love the stuff now...weird or not!

I even saw a link to how to irrigate you nose on You Tube ( I found it on someone's blog???). So I tried it also, my conclusion.....it's weird, it's gross, and IT WORKS! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
