Product Reviews of NeilMed's Sinus Rinse Regular Bottle Kit
Product Review: Better than my neti pot
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this product - whenever I am feeling sick, I immediately start using this twice a day: once in the morning and once at night. The squeeze bottle is super easy to use and works better than my neti pot.Product Review: Convenient sinus rinse
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used a traditional ceramic neti pot for years in order to perform sinus rinses. I was given a NeilMed bottle (by a satisfied new user)and have been quite pleased with it. Its advantage over the neti is that it is lightweight & nonbreakable (packs easily for travel) and, I feel, more easy to clean. I prefer the NeilMed pre-measured buffered solution powder to the traditional neti DIY sea salt, but either solution can be used in either system. The neti pot seems to get somewhat more into "deeper" sinuses, but it is best used in one's own home. Actually, I now use both systems. But more often, I grab the NeilMed bottle.Product Review: Don't Delay -- Clear Sinuses Are on the Way!
Summary: 5 Stars
Several years ago my asthma manager strongly recommended this. So I bought the bottle and the pre-mixed packets, but the thought of squirting warm salt water up my nose creeped me out. They sat waiting in my medicine cabinet.
Recently I've been driven to try it by laryngitis and a persistent cough. OMG, what an enormous difference it makes! Less hoarseness, less congestion, less coughing, easier breathing, general bliss. The rinsing cut at least a week off the laryngitis.
The sensation is actually not unpleasant. I thought it would feel like drowning, but no. The warm salt water can even feel weirdly soothing.
It's not just the cold easing up, either. I left the bottle at my girlfriend's and didn't retrieve it for several days. Definitely my sinuses were more congested and the mucus was thicker without the twice-daily rinse. Now that I have it again, the good effects have returned.
I'm using the premixed packets now, but when they're gone I'll measure and mix my own uniodized salt and baking soda. It's a whole lot cheaper that way. But even if you use the packets, this product is completely worth it. It's a fast way to get better health without expensive drugs and their potentially unpleasant side effects.
Product Review: Easy to use but beware of ear problems
Summary: 3 Stars
I have extremely blocked passages; after using this product my nose felt better but one of my ears began to ache and continued to do so for a few days. Possible ear infection? The pressure of the bottle must have forced some bacteria from my sinuses into my ear canal. So I would proceed with caution.Product Review: Favorite Nasal Rinse
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried the NeilMed Neti Pot, Nasopure, and this NeilMed Sinus Rinse bottle, and of the three this one is my favorite. It's easy to use and makes a good seal with the nose. The one advantage of the Nasopure bottle is that it can be completely closed when not used, so it's better for travel.
The positive pressure of Sinus Rinse makes it faster than Neti Pot, especially if you have some congestion. If the nose is completely blocked you have to use a nasal decongestant first before using the rinse.
For anyone who suffers from nasal allergies and congestion I highly recommend nasal rinsing. It washes away dust, allergens, and inflammatory mediators and makes a remarkable difference, and without any drug effects. The hypertonic packets are mildly irritating and take some getting used to, but they work better at shrinking nasal membranes. I recommend starting with the isotonic mixture just to get used to it and then changing over to the hypertonic.
