Product Reviews of SinuCleanse SinuCleanse Sqeeze Nasal Wash Kit 1 ea
Product Review: Everyone should use this instead on decongestants
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this for months and bought it for each member of my family. I was chronically congested and popping decongestants all the time. I never take decongestants now.Product Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this product more than the Neti Pot since it gives you oressure to help relieve blocked nasal passages.Product Review: Great relief, beats "Ocean Saline Spray" and others
Summary: 5 Stars
This has given me terrific relief from allergies. I have been able to use far less medication (such as Sudafed and Benidril). I have tried saline sprays such as "Ocean" and they simply do not compare. This allows for far more volume of rinse to go into the nose and seems to just "make sense" better than adding medication, one takes away the irritants. I have used neti pots, and this is much easier with very similar effect.
There is no trouble squeezing, as I read in one review, just let the container refill with air between squirts and it takes only easy pressure. Don't try to squirt the whole container-full in one stream, here is no need. Just squeeze until the nose and sinus fills, take the tip away from your nose and let the air re-shape the container, then each squeeze is as easy as the first. It takes about 6 to 8 squeezes to empty the container. No big deal.
I found the salt packets made too strong a solution and there was a bitter taste in my mouth even hours later. I experimented and found that I can fill 2 or 3 uses from each packet. The salt powder is better than plain water, I tried that too. I will also try making my own solution from sea salt (no iodine added!) and baking soda.
Another good idea is to use slightly warm water, it's less shocking to the inside of the nose than cold. Be very careful to not use too warm water as that could be very shocking to the sensitive nasal passages as well! I also use filtered water because the idea of chlorine up the sensitive nose seems bad.
I find myself able to breathe easily and deeply when I used to have great problems with congestion and headaches. It also stopped the watering eyes! I love the idea and practice of removing the pollen, dust, whatever from my nasal passages. It's a great value when compared to the cost of all the medications and sprays I've had to use in the past. My allergies have been very bad and I use this several times a day during the high pollen season. When I feel the stuffiness or headaches coming on, I clean it out! So far, it's a huge improvement.
Product Review: I squeeze saline up my nose on purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Product Review: OMG! I can breathe!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had chronic sinus problems for years, and whenever I get a cold, absolutely NOTHING works. I've got a very nasty cold right now and I was desperate for relief -- I saw this at the grocery store and decided to give it a try.
Best ten bucks I've ever spent in my life. It sounds nasty and looks really weird (my family was totally grossed out), but this squirt bottle and saline solution has done what every decongestant on the market has failed to do - I'M BREATHING!!!!
