I too have used a neti pot for years and overall it has been very helpful. I do occasionally get water trapped inside and it runs out at the most inopportune times (at a dance one time).

I’ve also more recently suffered with an infection from the water getting trapped and not clearing. My doctor told me to keep using the neti pot and take decongestants. I did this and used up the whole box of decongestants with no relief (have pressure/pain and balance issues as a result).

He told me to try it again. I’ve gone through a second box of decongestants – the rest of me feels very dry but my sinuses still feel plugged and it feels like water is trapped inside (pressure/pain/balance issues continue). I’m very frustrated but I do have to admit that before this problem my sinus infections were much less of a problem.

I have wonderful recipe for use in a nedti-pot that i find works like anti-biotics for sinus infections. I had an infection coming on and used this mix within a day it no longer hurt my sinuses to blow my nose. The recipe is as follows.
Make a mixure of equal parts of essential oils of peppermint, roman chamomile, tea tree, eucalyptus, and grapefriut. Mix this twice as much Jojoba carrier oil. Add 1-3 drops of this mixure to 1 cup of saline base and use your neti-pot as normal.
So to sum up if u were use 1 drop each peppermint, chamomile, tes tree,eucalyptus and grapefruit and 2 drops jojoba carrier the mix would be correct. Then add 1-3 drops of this mix to your neti and you are good to go. I found it worked great and did not dry out my sinuses at all. If you are like me you hate using meds and this works great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn’t fund a net pot so I made one out of a pastic water bottle with drinking tip ( smart water ) I poked a small hole on the bottom for air flow . It works great and because it is clear you can watch the water level . The blue drinking tip fits very nicely in your nostril . My husband and I have only been flushing for about a week but in just on day we both quit snoring . I hope it will help as well with my allergies . It was so much easier to do then I thought and felt really nice . Just thought I could help anyone who had a hard time finding a pot and didn’t want order online .

Hello There,

I have also used Sinofresh. It may be a good alternative if Neti Pot doesn’t work for you. This product was introduced to me by a friend when traveling in China. Since then, I highly recommend Sinofresh to all friends who struggle with sinus headaches or infections. I also use SinoFresh for prevention – before flying, going out to public places, or if I’m around a sick person. If you already have sinus congestion, SinoFresh will clear it out, enabling prescription nose sprays to be more effective. You can check out the site at. http://www.sinofreshstore.com

I keep my neti pot in my bathroom right next to my toothbrush. In fact, I have a neti pot in every bathroom in my house! I suffer from dust allergies and the neti pot does a wonderful job of cleaning out the possible allergens. I also have plant allergies in the spring and fall, and have found that since I started using the neti pot, I suffer from that a lot less.

If you blow your nose really well (not hard, but well) after using the pot, you shouldn’t have the watr dripping problem.

I find that the sinus rinse helps to clear my nose before i use a nose spray, but i haven’t found the effects long lasting. My ENT said i needed to use it 4 times a day to increase the humidity in my nose to prevent iritation.
What i was wondering was if anyone had the same problem with water running out of there nose at odd times the rest of the day?? i always drain water out of my nose after i am done with the rinse but that never seems to help. also has anyone had problems with doing the rinse before bed and then having the salt water run down thier throat??
i guess i have had mixed results with sinus rinses.
