Thanks - I am glad it was helpful

This is an absolute game changer. I’ve had a really bad bout of sinusitis and a very chesty cough. The very first time I used it I was amazed and the amount of gunk that came out of my nostrils! That was all going down the back of my throat to my chest! What a relief. I woke the next morning and my nose was still clear. I used it 2/3 times a day and things very quickly cleared up. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it (too queasy) but it was easy, strangely satisfying and definitely put me firmly on the road to recovery. This is a very informative video and shows how simple and effective the NeilMed kit is. Buy it!

I have been using this for many years. I was surprised that the demo just shows rinsing one side and then the other. What I have found effective is to rinse one side a couple times, wait 10 seconds or so, then blow my nose gently into tissue. Then repeat on the other side and blow my nose again. Then repeat back and forth until the solution is gone. I think gently blowing the solution out helps quite a bit.

Thank you. I loved the video. I have suffered sinus issues for 50 years. Before using this, I always had to go on antibiotics all the time. Keeping sinuses washed during a cold mostly prevents needing drugs.. I went to my Dr with an infection, and he gave me an antibiotic solution to add to the water and rinse, and it worked. I just hate taking antibiotics. Happy irrigating.😀

Total game-changer and so simple to use! The first few times, it's a bit weird to be sending water into our nose but we get used to it very quickly. It's not uncomfortable at all once you get the hang of it. I used to develop full-blown sinusitis regularly each winter (living in Canada). Since using this product on the recommendation of my doctor, I have not had a sinus infection in years. I use it at the first signs of congestion or even when getting a sore throat signaling that I am fighting "something". Haven't had to take antibiotics in years. For those afraid the water will burn, don't be: the solution is amazing and doesn't burn even if you have a lot of inflammation in the nasal passages.

I find doing it the shower works best for me, the steam from the shower is already helping the cleaning process. I have been using NeilMed Sinus rinse for over ten years now. I never get a cold or any infections. I am diagnosed as a chronic allergic asthmatic .

Wonderful!

Always good to rinse the nasal cavity with such a rinse even if one does not have overt allergies. Think of the nose as our body's air filter. Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of twisting it off and rinsing it like some HVAC filters. This is as close as it gets to washing the particulates that may settle on the lining of the nose which may cause congestion and postnasal drip. Of note, I would stress use of distilled water, and ensuring proper cleaning, making sure all 3 parts are disassembled with each cleaning.

Hi what will happen if I don’t breath out from my mouth and not feeling all the water came out I have that worry, I appreciate your quiche answer please and thank you

I've had thirteen sinus surgeries (for reoccurring polyps) and rinse twice/day with two packages and one vial of budesonide--at the direction of my ENT. I use the NeilMed bottle and pre-mixed packages. I gently squirt a portion of the mixture into one nostril, stop squeezing and hold for ten seconds. I alternate nostrils four times, then use half of the remaining mixture on each nostril. I find this really gets rid of crusties. When I drain, I first tilt my head forward, then gently blow until the flow from both nostrils becomes a drip. Next, I tilt my head to one side, about ninety degrees and blow out gently. I repeat this for the opposite nostril. This drains my maxillary sinuses. Next, I gently blow my nose, and I'm done. I wait a half hour, then use Xhance. I have been polyp-free for four and a half years, now. Before, at four and a half years out, I would be completely blocked. Rinsing sinuses works. So does Xhance. I thought I'd share this with you and and your viewers. Thanks for video!

@@miguelanderson5185 Pain really depends on the doctor. My first surgery was a Caldwell-Luc as well as standard polyp removal. The Caldwell-Luc was very uncomfortable as was living with the sinus packing for a week, both the kind that dissolves and you swallow it and some kind of sponge packing in the sinuses. There were five surgeries with that one ENT who used packing. The last one, the thread used to keep them together cut into my septum from the outside--it hurt badly. Then I moved. The new ENT used computer guidance with a headgear and didn't use standard packing. He used fingers from a surgical glove, slit and packed with gauze. The packing was removed the day after. Then weekly appointments for about a month for debridement along with rinsing. Debridement was uncomfortable. But after that, zero pain. That went for seven surgeries. My final surgery was from the ENT's son. It was painless in all areas. He used a different kind of packing and it was removed the day after surgery. One debridement and rinsing. So, ask all the questions you can--especially about packing and type of packing used. Also ask about debridement and rinsing. Do not skip rinsing after surgery, if you're directed. Follow directions exactly. With rinsing using budesonide, one round of Sinuva implants (they fall out after about six weeks with rinsing, so don't worry if you get them) and Xhance, I've been polyp free for five years in June of this year. So, no in my case I have the A-triad so recurring polyps have happened after 12 of my 13 surgeries. I don't think they'll come back as long as I stick to the treatment plan. Good luck with your surgery. If you have more questions, I'll be happy to answer them as a patient.

My NeilMed Sinugater kit just arrived today as I have had sinus problems for many years. So I’m hoping this helps as sinex spray although works fine gives me unpleasant side effects after using for a longer than I should.

Hello. I have a question. When using a nasal wash, the fluid in my left nasal cavity does not leave through my other nasal cavity, but I feel it in my right ear.

So I have had a CT Scan and my entire right side is blocked. So does that mean I won't have rinse going in either side and coming out opposite side? It just goes in up on the left side and fills up as much as possible and drains on that same side. Then I do the right side and hardly any goes up in there and very little comes out because that side is completely blocked and requires surgery? ENT says it's all blocked. Just looking at expectations. I am about to go on a 14 hour flight and a 12 day cruise. My ENT missed the blockage for almost a year. After a year of antibiotic biotics. Is there any chance this will unblock the blocked sinus? I purchased the Nirvage which sucks the rinse out. Is that no going to work with a blocked sinus? Or will it pull out the clogged sinus? Your thoughts please. Anyone's.

I used this product but after rinse pain in my ear 5 to 10 sec What shop I do??

I have this exact kit and solution how often should I use it solve my nasal problem daily or???

I've tried this method but it won't go threw sadly, iam not blocked as I can breath threw both sides but for some reason it just won't push threw lol it jist build up then goes into my mouth or back out the nostrial I tried

please what the solution that comes with it?should i boiled it? or it ready to use?

The literature for Neilmed says not to use it if I've had an ear infection. I have had one, but it was years ago. Does this still mean I shouldn't use it?

My bottle has fluid in it at purchase, is the medicine already in the first bottle? Need to know before I add the package

Should you use this if you have a blocked nose?

I forgot and used more than half of the bottle on one side, is that ok?

Can you use this if you have Tinnitus? I have it in my right ear.

after having Covid twice (with no vaccination) one of my nasal left side passage completely became non existent ( probably was the passage way for the virus) as if l have had a nose job that has gone terribly wrong..shall l start using smth like this?

Excuse me but why doesnt it come out of my other nose? I recently had a nose surgery and needed to rinse my nose with a sprya and tried exactly like you said but the water instead of comming out of my other nose directly seems to be going down my throat

I had hay fever 2 weeks ago and now I have shortness of breathe. I’m going on holiday in 2 days and I have this in my house. Shall I use this?

I was recently advised to use this for my pollen allergies that persist from the end of winter until the start of autumn. The doctor told me to use it 2 times a day morning and evening for 3 months while additionally mixing a capsule of 0.50 mg/ml Teva-Budesonide inside the saline solution. In the beginning I used it quite frequently but recently I feel like it's making my throat feel dry all the time. Is there a way to avoid the solution from reaching the back of my throat and only passing through out of the other nose hole? I tried tilting my head closer to the sink but I still end up accidentally swallowing some amounts of the solution...

I have some weird allergies I guess..I live around a bunch of trees and the home central heat and air brings the outside air in through the filters but seems like I am getting an odd taste and smells like outside trees inside..this has been gradually happening to me over the last 5 years..I went to an Allergist and had all these tests ran onme and not much showed up..this year it's been ramping up and tired of it so I bought this kit this morning and came home and tried it 15 minutes ago..I did like the instructions show and somefar so good..the soltion ran out the other nostril and then it did the same on the other side..I know one thing I am cleaned out and hoping this is what I need to keep this from happening.

Thanks this help me !
