Nasalcare Nasal Rinse Starter Kit

I am a microbiologist, so appreciate the design of the spout that does not allow the solution to go back into the container. Be sure to use short, quick squeezes, because I found that some goes through the Eustachian tube if I am not careful.

I have suffered from post nasal drip for a long time and a friend told me about this product and suggested that I give it a try. I have had the product for two weeks now and use it every day. It was a little awkward the first time as it is counter intuitive to squirt solution up your nose and into your nasal cavity. To my surprise, it didn't hurt, in fact it was soothing. I now irrigate every morning as it gives me immediate nasal clearing and my post nasal drip is almost non-existent! I am a big fan! I have already had two other people try it and with the same success. The clear breathing stays with me all day.

Definitely a 5 star product. I would have liked to have had this product 30 years ago. My post nasal drip caused coughing that has stopped and my daughter has the same issue and her Nasal Care is on it's way. I am grateful for the relief that I know it will bring her as it has relieved me.

I can't wait to tell my Doctor who has been treating me for my cough for several years. I hope to drop my congestion medications at my next visit. This will mean fewer pills and a more healthy and easy breathing enjoyment of life.

For years I have considered trying sinus irrigation but, as a medical device engineer, I was skeptical: how could it reach up into my sinuses where I really need flushing? Even with dozens of products and thousands of ads on the Internet, I was unable to find anything that told me just exactly what it does. As I learned, the term "sinus irrigation" is totally misleading; this product's name "nasal rinse" is much more accurate.

What this (and no doubt all the other products you can possibly buy over the counter) does is to flush saline up one nostril, through the turbonates (the narrow passages at the back of your nose that swell up when you're sick and make it so hard to breathe) to the attrium (the relatively large space past the turbonates, just behind the bridge of your nose) and then through the turbonates on the opposite side and out the other nostril. As I always suspected, it does not flush out your sinuses; it can't, since each sinus is a dead end. I found that it was possible to force some liquid into the sinuses below my eyes by partially pressurizing the bottle (more on that in a moment) but the main benefit is to flush out the primary air passages.

To that end, it makes a difference. Not, in my case, a huge life-changing difference but for several hours after using it my breathing is improved a little. Obviously unlike drugs there is no rebound effect (it's just salt water, after all). And the bottle itself is very thoughtfully and well-designed.

What I really need is a steerable catheter something that would snake up into the sinus cavities and then flush them out from the inside. I bet there's no such thing that is sold over-the-counter for an untrained layperson to buy, so this may be the closest thing to what I really need.

Caveats and experiences:

I experimented with just plain warm water. WTF? The back of my airway felt like I had just been poisoned with drain cleaner! I know this is going to vary widely between individuals, but I had no idea that those membranes could be so sensitive to just ordinary water. The included packets of salts and baking powder are cheap, convenient, and completely soothing so I'll just stick to them as designed.

I tried closing off one nostril while squeezing the bottle to pressurize the liquid inside my nose. That was actually very effective at forcing the liquid inside my lower sinuses a sensation that is both very soothing and very weird at the same time. Obviously the harder I squeezed the farther into my sinuses I could go. I could also feel saline being forced up my Eustachian tubes, which while another reviewer believed that contributed to an ear infection I figure is a good thing since the saline just drains right back out. But then I squeezed so hard that the saline made it all the way to my eardrum, and OUCH! Overwhelming pain, a pain that persisted for hours after the saline had drained back out.

As a compromise, I tried the following: I wait until saline is draining out the other nostril and then push that nostril closed. I then continue pressing the bottle but not squeezing hard. This way I am able to keep the fluid in the attrium where it migrates, rather than forces, its way into the sinus. I hold it for ten seconds, then release. I then finish rinsing as usual. That has made a much bigger improvement, but bear in mind that this is using the device off-label and puts you close to the ear-splitting pain of water inside your eardrum (why on Earth does that hurt so much?) so I cannot recommend it to another person. And there is no way it is ever going to make it up to the sinuses above my eyes, my head would have to be tilted back and the Nasalcare only works in a vertical orientation.

In conclusion, this device works as advertised and made a small improvement in my breathing. For many people it will no doubt be a godsend, but if your primary issue is with your sinuses your gain will be incremental; but then again, neither it nor its refills are very expensive so on a cost/benefit basis it's hard to go wrong. 4.5 stars for the product itself, 3.5 stars for the effectiveness of the treatment it implements.

For more than 20 years i have been a frequent visitor to the doctor's office due to nasal infections. i don't know why, but it just seems that my nasal passage is prone to infections, especially in the winter. some doctors said i had "chronic nasal infection". others just said my nasal passage is narrower than normal and suggested surgery. every time the infection came on, i had to use antibiotics. that doesn't happen any more since i was introduced to NasalCare by a friend. Now whenever i feel a little bit of discomfort when breathing, i start nasal irrigation using NasalCare. i haven't seen a doctor for three years. it is a lifesaver. healthy people cannot imagine the pain caused by headaches and nasal congestion. its convenient size allows me to take it everywhere. i am no longer afraid of colds or the H1N1 flu because i use NasalCare to prevent the virus from entering my body.

If you suffer from sinus trouble, TRY THIS PRODUCT! We had just moved to the country across from a farm, and my allergies were they worst they had ever been in my life. I had suffered from three debilitating sinus headaches this summer (a record for me) and needed relief but didn't want to continue to take OTC medications (which obviously weren't working for me anyway). I felt noticeable relief just moments after my first few squirts of NasalCare. Believe me -this product is worth trying! It has truly helped alleviate my symptoms, and relief was as instant as possible. Plus, the cost of the product is very reasonable. It is easy to use, fill, and clean, too. Highly recommended!
