XlearNatural Xylitol Nasal Irrigation System with 6 Saline Packets and 1 Sinus Rinse Bottle - Nose Cleaner for Fast Pressure and Congestion Relief (Pack of 1)

I'm allergic to everything so I need to use my neti pot. Except regular saline packets tend to irritate my sinuses. I'm so glad I ran across this stuff because it's absolutely wonderful. It doesn't leave a taste, my sinuses & nose are very comfortable afterwards, It's easy to use even though I didn't think it was going to dissolve because of the size of the crystals. They're more like granulated sugar as opposed to salt that you get with the saline solutions. But it dissolved instantly! I'm very happy and able to use this twice a day now without any problems. Definitely value for my money! Highly recommend.

This has helped clear my sinuses so much. It is so much easier to use than the Netty Pot just be sure not to squeeze to hard or it'll mess up your inner ear. I use it and my 6 year old daugter uses it and it works like a charm.

I alternate this stuff with regular sinus salts. I would use daily, but price is significantly higher than ordinary salts. At same time I find the xylitol beneficial.

The xylitol (basically sugar, for those unfamiliar) makes it more effective than saline, and that effectiveness was immediate on the first experience. No saline spray has been like that. A friend got a bottle and was also impressed with the drainage it prompted. I got him on it because he has frequent nosebleeds, and I personally find saline to be more drying than hydrating, from when I had my own nosebleed days. The grapefruit seed extract in it burns slightly sometimes when there's dryness, but the spray itself isn't drying. The pump is truly a MIST of wide coverage.The cap pops on and off (doesn't screw) and it somehow - also impressively - manages to stay on completely. Doesn't even weaken or loosen with frequent popping on and off. The bottle appears to be shatterproof and also doesn't leak. I feel very safe with this holding receptacle among other contents in bags.Angling of bottle tip and head positioning does matter. Tip in towards middle of nose for sinuses; tipped out towards ears for eustachian tubes. Your head is apparently also supposed to be face-down to to the ground, with the bottle held completely vertical. That last part, jury's out on but tip angling is all true. When the liquid gets too low for the tube and begins asking for pump battles, I save it and add it to another bottle. Especially when it only needs one pump's worth for effectiveness, unlike other sprays... Yep, no waste of goodness!Fyi, I also use the Xlear packets for Neti pot sinus rinses and it also works awesomely. It doesn't have the seed extract, but does have baking soda in it. Also worth checking out. Additionally have the red MAX congestion spray, with the capsicum, aloe vera, and grapefruit seed extract in it. I haven't needed to pull out the heavy artillery beyond trying it once so I can't comment on its effectiveness when sickly yet. However, this company appears to be of quality products so I have no doubt MAX also would be effective in its task, as the rest of their products are.I'm Team Xlear over here... can you tell? LOL

I am a newcomer to the whole Neti-Pot thing. I've been experiencing weird sinus congestion for the past month, and I'm thinking it's seasonal allergies. My nose plugs up when I lie down, and during the day it feels like the back of my nose right above my throat is clogged, and it creates this uncomfortable pressure that makes it feel like my lungs are straining to breathe. There's always mucus running down my throat, and no matter what I did to try to clear it, nothing seemed to work. I looked online and someone said to try the Neti Pot. Reading the reviews, this one seemed better than the traditional Neti because it really forces the mucus through your sinuses and can reach the back of your throat better. My problem isn't my nostrils, it's the back of my sinuses. Also I don't have crazy bad seasonal allergies, so I can only speak for minor symptoms.I use cooled boiled water and that seems to work fine. You can use store-bought distilled water, but I didn't want to buy all that water if I'm using this stuff every day. The powder solution that comes in the box is sweet, which is pleasant. I'm kind of puzzled by the instructions that come in the box about how to get the water through your sinuses because it seems like the way they describe it would cause you to inhale water in your lungs? Maybe I have the nose/throat anatomy wrong, but I disregarded the instructions they gave because it seemed scary. Instead, I put the nozzle in one nostril, hold my breath, and slowly squeeze the bottle. This causes the solution to exit through the other nostril and also go down my throat. I still go slowly and a little bit at a time, but maybe later on I can be brave and use more pressure. Baby steps. After I'm all done, I'll have some solution run down my throat for the next 10 minutes or so until everything's all cleared. The sensation of the water running through my sinuses is uncomfortable, but I figure I'll get used to it, and if that's what it takes to clear all the mucus, I'm okay with that. It basically feels like when you accidentally get water up your nose in the pool, but a little less uncomfortable.I try to use it every morning and night, but it depends on how much my sinuses are acting up. After the initial use, I already feel so much better. This device really shoves all the congestion away, and I felt like it had been building up for a while. What a relief. I imagine this to be a lifesaver when I'm sick and super stuffed up.Anyway I've read that if you suffer from bad seasonal allergies, using this twice a day can really relieve you of most symptoms and perhaps eradicate all symptoms completely. Plus, since it's made of plastic, it can essentially last forever versus the ceramic ones that crack after all the salt. I imagine that after I'm done using all the packets of solution they provide in the box, I'll just use sea salt and have a simple routine. $12 for simple and effective symptom relief? Heck yeah!

Ease,convenient and effective.
