Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a long-time neti pot user. A friend of mine who is a doctor recommended I use one to help with my year-around allergies. The problem with using a neti pot is that it can be slow and if you're congested or blocked up with lots of mucous, the neti pot just won't work since gravity alone does not provide enough force to push the solution through the mucous and swollen membranes in your nose and sinuses. I stumbled across the SinuCleanse while looking for the replacement saline packets for my neti pot. I thought I'd give it a try because it does not require using distilled water which, for me, was a big hassle. According to the manufacturer, the built-in filter meets CDC recommendations for nasal washing with tap water. It is so much more convenient than the neti pot. This is a fantastic device and I can say it has improved the quality of my life by greatly reducing or often completely eliminating my allergy symptoms by using this once or twice a day. I will also use it an extra time after I've been mowing the lawn, gardening, working where it is dusty etc. With the flexible bottle this device uses, it allows you to use just the right amount of pressure to provide for a comfortable cleansing of the nose and sinuses. I also use this device when I get a cold and can say that it has reduced the length of illness and severity of symptoms. I will use the SinuCleanse more often when I have a cold. I have also found that in the several years I have been using a neti pot or this device that I have gotten fewer colds. I could be a salesman for SinuCleanse or neti pots and may sound like one from the preceding review, but nasal irrigation has worked very well for me by significantly reducing my allergy and cold symptoms.
