NeilMed Sinus Rinse Starter Kit, 8 Fl Oz, Pack of 2

I've been using the Neilmed Sinus Rinse system for years and years. I have allergies and sinus issues and I don't like to take a lot of decongestants (I'm on blood pressure medication), but this product helps clear things out and doesn't affect the blood pressure. When I don't use it for a week or so, my nose gets all clogged and feels pretty gross (I recently had oral surgery with excessive bleeding afterwards, and I didn't use this during that time and for about a week after, so I've experienced this recently). After 2-3 days of using this in the morning, though, I am good to go again. I have recently gotten my husband into at least occasional use of the sinus rinse system, mostly after he has done yard work (where he is exposed to pollen) or has been sanding something in the basement (even though he also wears a mask). He doesn't have the same allergy problems I do, but he doesn't like to take a lot of medication and this works when he needs it to. I was definitely happy to find the two pack of bottles (this is not an item you want to share) without a ridiculous number of salt packets, because I already have a couple of open bags of refill packets in the kitchen, and I didn't want to accumulate more. Now my husband and I can each have new ones (we don't replace every 90 days as recommended, but maybe every 5 or 6 months). I only use the sinus rinse in the morning. I find that if I do it at night, and I do it too late, I have drainage down the back of my throat, and I can never remember to use it like an hour before bed (which would be fine). So mornings it is. I keep a big jug of distilled water in the kitchen exclusively for sinus rinsing. There are sometimes things in municipal water supplies that are fine to ingest orally but that you don't really want to shoot into your head up close to your brain. I microwave the water in the main body of the sinus rinse container for 30 seconds, add my salt packet, shake, and wait until the temperature is comfortable before rinsing. I would definitely not recommend doing this with cold water. Anyway, this is a convenient package size of a product I'm a longtime fan of. Definitely glad I found it.

If you have bad breath, lots of drainage in throat and nasally you need to try this. I use distilled water from a jug because my doctor told me NOT To use tap water. I warm it up in the microwave for 20 seconds then I add the salt packet and I have medication. Just shake it up and lean over the sink. Squeeze 1/2 in each nare. Then I lean my head over the sink and tilt my head side to side to get the solution out. It stops the drainage from your throat and helps with that nasty taste and breathe you get form allergy drainage. Warming the water a bit and using the salt packets prevents burning in nares. And using regularly truly does help. Trust me. The bottle is good quality plastic it last forever I usually buy a new one every 6-8 months because of infections I get but if you are just using this for allergies and keep it clean turn it over after use to dry it will last along time. Great product!!

This neti pot has it all. Easy to clean, comfortable tip w/good fit for no leakage, good spout design (every last drop makes it out of the pot), and even comes with a lid. Holds 8 oz (so I can do both nostrils w/only one potful) yet takes up very little real estate on the shelf. BTW, instead of buying more dry saline packets, I use a 1:1 ratio of salt and baking soda. I mix up a bunch to keep in a lidded jar in the bathroom, then use 1/4 tsp per 4oz water per nostril. And, I use "pure" salt - no added stuff like anticaking, iodine, etc. Pickling salt dissolves really well, but you'd hafta read the label as to its purity. Neti pots are not for everyone, but it's what saved me from repeated sinus infections, bronchial asthma, and hay fever.

Great product and easy to use. No more stuffy noses. The solution packets are included...just mix with distilled water and shake the bottle.

Do not use tap water, follow the directions.

Me funciona muy bien, vale la pena y trae unos sobres que ayudan mucho a la descongestión

Other kits have more packets that I don't really need. I use half salt, half baking soda, and that about 1/2 teaspoon of the mix in a cup of well boiled or bottled distilled water. A few saline packets in the box is fine but I would need hundreds of packets. So mixing my own is the way to go. If you know you're going to be using this for more than 3 months, you might as well buy more than one. Manufacturer recommends discarding after 3 months, and I don't really blame them. I have to keep these clean to avoid reinfection. On the day I bought it, the 2-pack was cheaper than 2 singles, but I'm editing this review, considering I just checked again and as I write, it's cheaper to buy 2 singles. So you might want to double check the prices. Honestly it's 4 star if you need it, but I don't find the process easy, considering the water that can't be tap water, the mix, warming the solution, cleaning the stuff, really I don' have anything good to say about it, except that there is just no substitute for the squeeze bottle. About the squeeze bottle in general, no matter how you buy it, it has the advantage of moving the solution very quickly, if that's what you want to do. In my case that's what the MD wants me to do do. About the bottle, well like I said this is the way to get fast circulation. You can make it go slow as you like though. If I didn't need the fastest possible squirt, I actually prefer the Nasaline syringe, also made by the same company, Neilmed. The syringe is fast enough for me but, again, I was told to use the bottle, which does squirt much faster. As for the pots, I've never tried them so can't comment except seems like they would be kind of slow and also I wouldn't be looking forward to cleaning them either. Also there's gadgets that pump the fluid up your nose - those sound really hard to clean.

I have been using these bottles ever since my mother-in-law recommended it to me. It was recommended to her by her Dr who is a ear nose and throat specialist. My entire family uses these bottles. They also have a kid version which is a smaller bottle that also comes with smaller solution packets. Im not sure but I think the ph is also adjusted on the kid version. My 2 and 5 yr old tolerate the process and Don't spend too long being sick from colds. My husband uses it. He works in construction and is around dust on the daily. I used to be sick constantly. I would get better but not long after would be sick again. I would have so much congestion that It would drain to my ears then my chest causing bronchitis. I used to suffer from migraines and severe allergies. I would take allergy medication and Sudafed for my sinuses. The only thing the medicine would do is dry up all that congestion but never rid of it. The first time I used this product I was shocked at how much junk I had in my sinuses. I was truly disgusted. I repeated the process 3 times before I was happy with how clear I was. Yeah it was that bad 😱 I have never had to take Sudafed or any of those medications. I still have allergies so its important for me to maintain my nose hydrated and free of congestion. It is a bit uncomfortable when you first use it. I have since learned to use water at room temperature or warmer but not hot! Cold water feels like a shock up my nose. Follow instructions and sanitize before use. Only use bottled water. Add solution, Aim into one nostril and squeeze bottle gently into it. Make sure to lean over sink and have Kleenex on hand to blow your nose or just blow it into sink if you don't mind. Give yourself a little bit of time to breathe and repeat until you feel you got everything out while alternating nostrils. Do not share bottles with anyone. Sanitize and dry after each use. I strongly recommend this to anybody with allergies or who works or lives in dusty areas. You'd be surprised at how much stuff accumulates up there. The more you use it the easier it gets trust me.

Though I am not a nasal rinse fan, this product has been the one that I use, I tried others but always return to using this one as it works best for me

I use this product daily for medical issues, works great. It’s great to buy the replacement bottle with just a few of the nasal rinse solution since the bottle needs to be changed every 3 months. I have lots of the nasal rinse solution, but basically just need the bottle for the usual replacement time. Nice to have 2 included with order, now I’m good for the next 6 months!

I use Neilmed for nasal rinse and it's hard to find just the bottles. Should be replacing the bottles every six months or so. Easy to order from Amazon. Fast shipping too

C'est parfait lors de sinus bloqué on respire mieux après

Easy to use
