My doctor recommended that I try NeilMed Sinus Rinse to help clear out my sinuses. Just those words, Sinus Rinse, made me nervous. Rinsing out your sinuses???? That sounds.....scary! However, since I suffer constantly with the feeling of pressure and inflammation in and around my sinus area, I thought it was worth a try.
I purchased the entire kit at my local pharmacy. It included the rinse bottle, an instructional guide and several packets of rinse powder. The cost was right around $ 12.00. How it works is, you empty one pack of the powder into the bottle and add warm water to the indicated line. Now, this is where it gets nerve-racking. Lean over the sink with your head down. Stick the rinse bottle up to your nose and gently squeeze the bottle. DON'T PANIC! It is a very weird sensation and will almost feel like you're drowning. (I've found that if I leave my mouth open when I do this process, I feel more at ease) The water rushes through your sinus cavity and comes out the other nostril. Then, you do it to the other side. When you're through, gently blow your nose.
Once you get accustomed to the sensation, it is easier to do and the benefits of sinus rinsing are immediately felt. My sinuses feel clearer, and they are, because rinsing them out rids dust, pollen, animal dander, and other allergens that irritate the sinuses. Using the sinus rinse is also good for post nasal drip, congestion, dryness, nasal allergies and sinus problems, and the common cold. There are many benefits to this procedure. As soon as I begin to feel pressure in my sinuses, I use a sinus rinse. It really helps.
You don't want to use the rinse under certain circumstances. For instance, do not use the rinse if your nasal passage is completely blocked, or if you have an ear infection or blocked ears. If you experience any pressure in the ears, stop using the rinse.
I would HIGHLY recommend NeilMed Sinus Rinse to ANYONE that suffers from chronic sinus problems or allergies. I am proof that it helps.
