Customer Reviews of Neilmed Sinus Rinse, 1 kit
Customer Review: no harsh effects at all .
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this and helped a lot with sinus pressure. I think if you are pro-active then you can use this to fight off a sinus infection. My 10year old uses the pediatric version and a lot of mucus drained out. Logic says that's a good thing. It's kind of icky to shoot water up your nose but it's very logical that cleaning out mucus full of bacteria would be very good. (no harsh effects at all).Customer Review: It is *SO* easy to use with the pre-measured packets...
Summary: 5 Stars
In summary: It is simple, inexpensive, and it works. It is lightweight and easy to take when traveling. No need for an electrical outlet.
For years my allergist nagged me to irrigate my sinuses. But his recommended method was to mix the saline solution, then pour some into the palm of my hand and snort it up my nose. I just kind of gave up on that because 95% of the saline went down the drain - before getting to my nose, but usually after dripping down my arm and all over the bathroom counter.
Then I heard of the attachments for devices like the WaterPik, but they didn't hold up very well (usually broke within 5-6 months), and the waterpik machines kept leaking all over the bathroom counter, so I stopped using them too.
Then, several years ago, my allergist told me about this new product, Sinus Rinse. What a difference it has made! It is *SO* easy to use with the pre-measured packets, that I use it more often than I would ever have considered doing with the old methods.
I'm sure that since using Sinus Rinse, I've managed to fight off some sinus infections that otherwise would have required antibiotics. The pre-measured packets are simple, convenient and inexpensive.
I highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: The filtered stuff can be blown out into a Kleenex...
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in San Antonio. There's all sorts of pollen in the air, including the dreaded mountain cedar.
Our sinuses are the first defence in filtering out pollen. That stuff has to go somewhere. The filtered stuff can be blown out into a Kleenex, can go down your throat, or (worse) puddle around in your swollen sinuses. That could lead to chronic and acute conditions
The Neilmed rinse bottle is an easy and convenient way to rinse the gunk away. I like to rinse before going to bed, that way I know my body can rest rather than process and clean out a bunch of residual pollen and crud in my sinuses.
And the best part is- the ladies think sinus irrigation is sexy!
Customer Review: But if you've ever suffered from a sinus infection...
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first read a review of another Sinus Irrigation Kit, it never occurred to me that nasal irrigation could be an option to relieve my sinus troubles. Instead, it just led me to double Kleenex's stock price and indulge in the occasional Afrin spritz. But if you've ever suffered from a sinus infection, you'll know that it feels like someone took bales of cotton steeped in mucous, packed them up your nose and tamped them down under your eyes. It's simply the worst feeling.
I went to my local Duane Reade and hunted for some product and I found the NeilMed Sinus Rinse Kit. From a design standpoint, the package is hideous. There's a cheesy blue sky background with almost every square inch of the packaging covered with text printed in different colors. There's something written about the contents, what it alleviates, that it's physician developed, etc. There's even an amusing picture of a model holding the bottle up to her nose above a sink. It's a little unnecessary and not a little condescending considering you wouldn't see a comparable photo on a package of Summer's Eve, but really, it's a minor quibble.
NeilMed comes with a plastic 8oz. squeezable rinse bottle and 50 packets of premixed sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and sodium chloride (salt), which the package painstakingly details in red letters as "ph balanced, isotonic and preservative and iodine free". Good to know. The rinse bottle has a custom designed cap with a plastic hollow tube connected to it.
There are specific directions to follow while irrigating your sinuses, but they are simple and very explicit, and best of all, it's printed everywhere - to the opening flap of the package, to right on the squeeze bottle itself. You can't screw this up. It's a plain device, very easy to use, and even if the act of spraying saline water up your nose may strike you as uncomfortable, it's so worth it. The all natural mixture safely cleans and lubricates sinus passages so as to "alleviate sinus symptoms, nasal allergies, common cold symptoms, post nasal drip, congestion and dryness, as well as nasal irritation from occupational dust, fumes, animal dander, grass, pollen, smoke, smog and house dust."
Irrigating your sinuses will not cure your sinus infection, but it speeds along the healing process and most of all it can relieve the stuffiness for up to 8 hours or so. Since all the ingredients are natural, you can use it up to twice a day and I experienced no burning or stinging any time I've tried it. The product and packaging is ugly as sin, but it works beautifully, and that's all that counts. So if you have chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, allergies or just a plain, lousy cold, do yourself a favor and douche your nose.
Other Tidbits:
It's rather cheap, especially when you have the convenience of the packets premixed. If you run out of them, you can easily order more. They're sold separately in packets of 100. The bottle is easy to clean. I don't have a dishwasher, so I just use a lot of soap and hot water and let air dry. And in case you miss the graffiti all over the package, there's a lengthy educational brochure that comes along with the entire kit. It's actually quite edifying.

Customer Review: But...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 16 years old, and 3 weeks ago I underwent FESS for my left sphenoid sinus and my left maxillary. I also had a concha bullosa, which the ENT took care of. I been having these sinus issues for over a year and a half. After the surgery, I was advised to use Neilmed's sinus rinse (after I got the packing out and 2 weeks after the surgery), and it helped me alot. At first I was afraid to use it, because having water come into one nostril and out the other doesn't seem fun, but I tried it and it took out all that extra drainage stuff which was pretty gross. And I felt SO MUCH BETTER AFTERWARDS. If you have sinus issues, I advise you use this stuff. It works pretty well. But, you have to make sure you don't put too much/too little water. If you do, it will burn when you use the solution. If you do it correctly, you will have no problem at all and it won't hurt one bit. It's relieving, if anything.
