Plain saline works very well. The Neti Pot is a good product. Save your money and don't buy the starter kit or this stuff. The FDA just confirmed that zinc-containing nasal sprays, swabs, etc., can cause complete and permanent loss of the sense of smell. Amazon should stop selling this.
I discovered Neti Wash Plus by happenstance surfing the internet. The herbal oils inside claim to be good for the nose and the added zinc aids in preventing colds.
Using once a day, a 4oz bottle will last several months. You can get the Neti Wash without zinc but only in the 2oz bottle and it costs more than the Neti Wash w/zinc in the 4oz bottle.
First of all, I must say that the Neti Pot is pure genius. For me, it gives a soothing effect to my nose with a pleasant aroma.
I've searched all over for the lowest price and so far, Amazon's Neti Wash Plus with zinc in the 4oz bottle is the best deal going. At first a little bizzar and a bit gross but folks, IT WORKS.
This stuff is a fantastic complement to the plain salty water.
I do use it with the specialized salts and I think it suggests you do to. This artificial sugar and antibiotic is dangerous for any animals so keep packets safely out of their reach and dump all your water out of it's netti pot or what ever method of application bottle you use. I don't think it hurts either so didn't give it a 1 star. I didn't use it without the salt. I particularly liked the salt with the added Xyetol in it. I've been using this for 2-3 months now.
Maybe it helps some people but it doesn't seem to really do anything. But it's so far my favorite. Haven't noticed it makes any difference. However becareful. And like I said on a daily basis through the inversions we have here in the mountains and that's when my sinus problems are at their worse. Even when I'm in trouble with infection and need to go on antibiotic's.it just doesn't seem to pull it's weight as to how it's supposet to help or make a difference.
But save your money and stick with the salts.
It really does work. But since using this product and this method, I have not been sick. For all those plagued by sinus-related problems: try this solution with a quarter teaspoon of salt in a neti pot. I am one who used to be sick throughout the winter.
I use it daily and I've not had a cold or congestion problem since I've been using this for about a year now and I have'nt had one cold. I was using a pricey prescription for nasal congestion, and someone suggested a neti, so I bought the neti and a bottle of neti wash plus w/ zinc, and its one of the best buys I've made.
