I’m so mad I haven’t tried this sooner!! Holy crap!! Ive wasted so much money and time suffering trying to clear my nose and sinus pressure ALL THESE YEARS!! Used this ONE TIME and WALLAH!! The sinus pressure IS GONE!! My NOSE IS CLEAR AND I CAN breathe!! It’s so easy to use! I boiled some water, let it cool down, added the packet that comes with it to the bottle- Did each nostril 2x and felt IMMEDIATE RELIEF!! Make sure you push the button on the bottom of the bottle, while holding the tube to your nose that gently releases the water into the nostril while breathing through your mouth. Learn forward while doing so. Wow! If you suffer from allergies and sinus pressure THIS IS FOR YOU!! If you’re sick and nose is stuffed, THIS IS FOR you. I promise this is not a fake ad, this thing REALLY REALLY WORKS!! Read more

I've been using this bottle for years and years. The temperature sticker is a gimmick: it doesn't work very well and it falls off anyhow. But the bottle is effective, easy-to-use, and lasts forever (just remember to disinfect it regularly). PRO TIPS: A: You can make your own neti solution very, very cheaply: 1) Buy a gallon of DISTILLED water (important that it's distilled because brain parasites can get through filters) - or you can use purified water (no additives) if you boil it first. 2) Pouring a tiny bit (like one ounce) out of the jug to make space 3) Adding 3Tbsp of kosher or pickling salt (it needs to be 100% pure salt - no iodine and no additives) 4) If you feel the need, add 1Tbsp of baking soda (but that hasn't been proven to make any functional difference) 5) Shake it up, let it sit overnight to dissolve the ingredients, and shake before each use B: Temperature takes a little experimentation. If it burns: too hot (and that can cause swelling, worsening congestion). If it aches: too cold (but that's harmless except for discomfort). To get consistent temperature, heat up the (a) same amount of room-temp solution in the (a) same mug each time and use your (c) same microwave. Use a cheap plastic funnel to pour it into the bottle without a big mess. Once you figure out exactly how long to microwave it for your optimal comfort (likely between 20-25 seconds) you can repeat that every time since you're using the same mug, same room-temperature solution, and same microwave.

Living in the Western United States has meant dealing with horrid air quality as wildfires eat acres of land all around us. No matter which direction the wind blows, it draws a curtain of smoke. That means with every breath, we're filling our nostrils with little particles of ash and dust. It's been miserable. For a while I was using another brand's compressed-air-saline rinse, and to be fair it was working just fine. The thing was, each bottle didn't last long--and the first few uses blasted saline up my sinuses under more pressure than I was really comfortable with. Not to mention, the cost of each of those bottles was really starting to add up. Enter the Waterpulse Neti Pot. It's nothing fancy, just a plastic bottle with a J-tube attachment and a release valve, but it works surprisingly well. The idea is, you empty a packet of the included nasal salt (basically salt and baking soda) into the bottle, then add distilled water. Cap it off and allow the salt to dissolve completely. Then you turn the bottle upside down and press the end of the J-tube against a nostril. You're not jamming it up your nose, mind you--the goal is just to create a seal so the water goes up your nose rather than just blobs right back out. Then you press the button on the bottom of the bottle. All this button does is allow air into the bottle--gravity takes care of the rest. The water pours gently out, rather than blasting its way into your skull. This product remembers that it's a neti pot, not a pressure sprayer. It's actually pleasant. The water floods your chosen nostril (doesn't matter which one you choose), fills the sinus cavity, then pours out the other, unblocked, nostril. As the water pours out, it carries away pollutants, pollen, ash, dust, or whatever else with it. Once you're done, you've got yourself a pretty clean sniffer. If you've never used a neti pot before, I know what you're thinking. I can hear you say, "Sounds messy." Not if you lean forward over a sink, it isn't. In fact, that's what the included instructions tell you to do. "Do I have to hold my breath the whole time?" you may be wondering. No, you don't. You breathe through your mouth. You don't hold your breath at all. You're also not committed to doing the entire bottle in one go. My own approach is to flood one nostril and let it pour out the other for about half a bottle, then switch nostrils. Works pretty well! The end result is that you're breathing much freer. Congestion clears pretty quickly. Any dry crustiness you might have had before now blows out without much effort. Use it before bed, and you may find it easier to fall asleep without needing those sticky strips to hold your nose open. If you use Flonase, use the neti pot first so that the medicine actually contacts your sinuses--it'll work better this way. Best yet, your cost-per-use is quite small. The bottle rinses clean, and it's ready for you when next you need it. You can also buy more salt packets right here on Amazon when the included supply runs low. What's not to like? Read more
