Product Information

Strategist contributor Priya Rao, who suffers from “raging sinus infections,” likes this effortless solution, which requires “no contorting or gagging” that can come with neti pots.

For kids, Maitland and Voight both say it’s important for adults to administer something that’s very gentle so the child isn’t traumatized by the experience. By washing away excess mucus, as well as allergens, nasal irrigation can reduce inflammation and relieve congestion, runny nose and post-nasal drip. This mist was the easiest of all the methods I tried because it doesn’t require any prep before use. All of the doctors we spoke to emphasized that regular tap water should never be used because “there are cases where people have used tap water or unclean water and have given themselves infections inside of their nose and sinuses,” Voigt explains. Pulsating Nasal Wash is an easy to use saline application administered with positive and pulsating pressure to clean and irrigate the nasal passages thoroughly.This one from SinuCleanse is safe to place on the top rack of a dishwasher, comes with 30 single-use solution packets, and features a no-spill cap and a soft, latex-free nasal tip. He recommends pressurized devices to patients who have chronic sinusitis, meaning their mucus is “really thick and dense, almost like a flu-like mucus. It is effective for treating sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic asthma, post nasal drip, nasal stuffiness, sinus pressure, and symptoms of cold and flu.

It’s not as intense as the Navage, but it’s an inexpensive choice if you want a pulsating nasal rinse with more pressure than the non-battery-powered choices. When Maitland does use a neti pot, she prefers that it’s made out of clay, noting that the off-gas from plastic neti pots can pose an issue for some people.

When I tested the Ready Rinse, I boiled filtered water (to be safe), let it cool to a lukewarm temperature, and mixed the solution in the squeeze bottle.

Fill the clear blue reservoir with 204 ml (8 fl oz) volume of lukewarm, distilled, micro-filtered (0. Her doctor recommended a neti pot, and since then, it’s been her go-to way to prevent sinus infections. And because she has a deviated septum, the saline solution rinses through her entire nasal passage instead of just flushing out one side. Like the plastic neti pot, it’s important to clean this after every use, and this one’s conveniently dishwasher-safe. For a proper rinse, keep pressing the power button until at least 1/4 to 1/2 (60 mL to 120 mL or 2 to 4 fl oz) of the solution is used for one nostril.You’re just pouring the water on one side, tilting your head, and letting gravity work its way through. The attachments allow for varying pressures, misting being the least amount and rinsing being the most. After trying out all three, it seems that the misting and spraying tips are good for everyday use but less effective for when I was stopped up. Raithatha, who recommends NeilMed’s products to patients, says some folks also prefer this to a neti pot because they don’t have to tilt their head to let the saline flow through the nose.
