I have been looking for a neti pot solution for a while but it's hard for me to justify the price of $30 like most products to stick it up my nose and pour water. When Waterpik came out with this solution I was excited because it was half of the cost of other products and came with the saline packets.
After I tried it for the first time, I can't tell you how much I can breathe again when I wake up. My biggest issues no matter the season or even how clean my home is is that I have an overload of mucus and what have you in my nasal cavity. I like to practice breathing exercises and tai chi in the morning but it's hard for me to go through a routine without having to stop and "hack" something out. Especially if you are doing a meditative style breathing of qi qong. However to my avail I was able to breath deeply and and I felt wonderful. This will be an excellent remedy for when I receive a cold or have an allergy.
The one thing that is a bit of a bothersome is having to keep your bottle maintained. Initially you have to clean it, boil water, wait then use it. It has to be done weekly. Also there could be a little more push of the water when I am pouring as it can take a little time. But other than that, it's a great product and I can now definitely skip the pills and just do this twice a day! Highly recommended.

The Benefits of Healthy SinusesAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 31 million Americans suffer from sinusitis, inflammation of the sinuses that occurs with viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. Sinus washing reduces sinus and allergy symptoms and the frequency and intensity of allergy attacks. Sinus washing provides a safe, affordable, and natural sinus-washing experience.
An Ancient Technique for Modern HealthSinus washing is an ancient Ayurvedic technique, called jala neti, with origins based in the yoga tradition. In Eastern cultures, jala neti is performed as routinely as we brush our teeth or wash our hands. Although Western doctors commonly prescribe antihistamines, decongestants, steroids, and antibiotics, they also recommend sinus washing for allergy sufferers and patients with chronic sinusitis. Allergists and ear, nose, and throat specialists (ENTs) also encourage sinus washing as a preventive approach to allergies and key to sinus health.

I ordered the Waterpik Neti Pot as a part of a free online promotion they held a couple of months ago. I planned on giving it to my boyfriend because the idea of purposefully putting salt water up my nose just did not appeal to me. Last week I came down with some type of cold/allergy induced sinus problems including sore throat, coughing, and congestion. It was then I remembered the Neti Pot sitting, unopened, under my bathroom sink. I was so miserable at this point that I decided to dig it out and give it a go.
The instructions were clear and helpful. I used lukewarm water (too hot and it can hurt!) and one packet of provided saline. You tilt you head to the side and slightly forward and let the water run in one nostril and out the other, by way of gravity. If you're very congested (as I was) it may take a minute for the water to come out as a steady stream. It will drip until it finally breaks through the mucus causing your congestion. While the solution is working it's way through your congestion it may also go down the back of your throat a bit, because of all the blockage in your nose. Just tilt your head forward a little more and spit it out. It just tastes like the ocean haha. Without going into too much graphic detail about what comes out of your nose with the use of the Neti Pot... I definitely recommend this product! As someone who was originally creeped out by the thought of the whole process, I've been converted! I'm now finally getting over my sickness but still have bouts of thick mucus I can feel coming down the back of my throat. When this happens the Neti Pot comes to my aid and cleans it right out! It really is a miracle, and a great alternative to steroid nose sprays (but those are amazing too...)
Try it out, you won't be disappointed!

NeilMed NasaFlo Unbreakable Neti Pot with 50 Premixed Packets Review

NeilMed NasaFlo Unbreakable Neti Pot with 50 Premixed Packets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got this and used it for the first time. I was surprised that the NetiPot I received was actually blue and plastic. I had thought I was getting a ceramic one. But, I have used it once so far and I actually think the plastic is a good thing because it's lightweight while you're holding it up in the air during use. It also has a lid w/ a hole which helps control flow amount.
The packets that came with it seem fine, but I'll probably just mix my own salt in after I run out. Would definitely order this one again in the future!
Also, for those of you who can't decide whether you will be able to do this, will like it, etc. I thought $12 wasn't a bad trial rate, especially since NeilMed has a satisfaction guarantee for 90 days. And, I think you'll be surprised at how pleasant it feels when you get the water temp right!

NeilMed Sinus Rinse Regular Kit 1 kit Review

NeilMed Sinus Rinse Regular Kit 1 kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My story is like many others. I have allergies, and increasingly frequent sinus infections drove me to try this kit (which a sinus surgeon nurse gave me something like 3 years ago and it sat in a drawer in the bathroom till this summer).
Well, it is pretty weird to think about shooting water up your nose (childhood memories of turning upside down in the pool surfaced--ouch) but I finally got desperate enough to try it. And it does feel pretty weird the first few times, but I am now using this twice a day almost every day. It actually feels really good and it is amazing how much gunk comes out even when I feel relatively clear. It's not as entertaining as a Biore strip, but hey, what is?
Here are a few thoughts that are more random than the numbering might indicate:
1. I aim the nozzle tip at the opposite eye rather than straight up, and that seems to rinse better and not give me the upside-down-in-the-pool headache. The headache did happen a couple of times when I first was learning to use it and it hurts just like I remembered. Once I figured out the right angle it doesn't happen, so don't let that deter you.
2. It does travel easily, but my main problem is either being able to boil water or getting distilled water. I do not use water straight from the tap at home (boiling water at home no problem as I have an electric kettle) or traveling (one hotel I stay at frequently has very moldy pipes--can I shoot what I'm allergic to directly into my sinuses? Can I?), and that is the one pita. Otherwise, the packets and bottle are easy. I even carry a dry dock with me to hang it up on the mirror in the hotel.
3. The great thing about this kit is the pressure and speed it moves the saline solution. It actually is kind of "over before you know it." Sometimes one rinse doesn't feel like enough. I tried the 16 oz bottle and the pressure is not as strong. Now I just refill the 8oz if needed and use it twice in one session.
4. Hypertonic (green) vs. isotonic (blue--the ones that come with this kit) saline packets: I use both and don't really know that one helps more than the other. The green can be used with the 16oz bottle to make the regular solution or the 8 oz bottle to make the hypertonic (concentrated) solution. The green sometimes burns a bit. I'm still experimenting.
5. Definitely follow the instructions on heating up the water in the bottle. I fried one bottle because I didn't test my previously boiled water to see how hot it was before I put it in the micro. Normally about 35 seconds gets room temperature water to a good nasal rinse temp for me, but since the boiled water was already warm it got too hot.
6. People will think it quite strange if you give this as gifts. I tried to tell them that "Santa and I were worried about your sinuses" and it just didn't fly.
7. I find the packaging hilariously cheesy, almost like the Dr. Bronner's liquid soap labels (though definitely not as trippy). Don't ever change, Sinus Rinse!
Overall, I am very pleased with this product and think of using it like I think about washing my face, brushing and flossing (though it is recommended that you do this several hours before bed so you don't get a lot of drainage when you lie down--plus you want to allow a little time if you use a spray like Flonase, so I try to do this in the early evening). I have one at home and one for travel, and sadly for the recipients, have given some as gifts.
Oh well, they'll thank me when they pull it out of their bathroom drawer in a couple of years.

I've tried different remedies for the sinus congestion caused by my allergies. I know it might be fun to suffer day-to-day with the jitters, drowsiness, and cotton mouth these inevitably cause (NOT!), but I prefer to use a method of relief that leaves me feeling normal. This sinus cleansing has been a real life-saver! As long as I cleanse once a day with the saline solution, I find the congestion doesn't get any worse and actually improves over time. It's a natural, healthy way to fight allergies that I would recommend to anyone. These saline packets are the reason it is so effective! I'll be using these for the foreseeable future!

SinuCleanse Squeeze Nasal Wash Kit 1 ea
Average 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.

SinuCleanse Nasal Wash System, Plastic Neti Pot With Salt Packets Review

SinuCleanse Nasal Wash System, Plastic Neti Pot With Salt Packets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Most people reading this are bound to be curious as to what exactly this is / does. I know I was. Basically, you pour a saline solution up one nostril which (if you keep breathing through your mouth -- a mistake I made only once!) will come out of the other nostril, irrigating and cleaning it of most irritants and other things. It's very good for allergies, colds, and anything that has to do with the nasal passages.
The first time I used this, honestly, I felt like an idiot with salt water coming out of my nose. Now, after a few tries, it's second nature and relieves me of most of my sinus problems including allergies.
This is a good neti pot since it is dishwasher safe and tough to break, but you might want to consider making your own solution once the packets are used up-- just make sure you use non-iodized salt (there are good recipes for solution available on the web -- just google "neti pot solution").
Use and enjoy breathing better!

SinuCleanse Kids Mist Kit Review

SinuCleanse Kids Mist Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The spray pump works well & does clear up nasal congestion.
It is easy to use one-handed and our infant doesn't seem to mind the spray in his nose.
The kit comes with a three week supply of preservative free saline solution.
What they don't tell you is that the reason there are preservatives in saline solution is that algae likes to grow in it. If you don't clean the device properly, you risk introducing nasty germs up your poor kids nose every time you pump.
Here's the cleaning instructions:
1. Carefully disassemble
2. Discard remaining solution & wash with hot soapy water
3. Prepare a vinegar solution by boiling 1 1/2 cups water, add 1/2 cup white vinegar, and allow to cool.
4. Fill with vinegar solution & pump 10 times.
5. Soak entire device in remaining vinegar solution for 20 minutes.
6. Disassemble, discard any remaining vinegar solution and allow device to air dry.
7. Refill with fresh saline and pump 10 times to clear pump.
The device is not dishwasher or microwave safe, (there are small metal parts in the pump), so if you aren't up to the cleaning regimen then this pump is probably not for you.
