[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me all about "saline spray." How to use it, what brand to get, what it works for, etc.  This is not the same as a neti pot, right? [/quote]

Not a PP, but you just stick the bottle in your nostrils and squeeze. Neti pot is different. With those you fill them with clean water (I use distilled but you don’t have to), and salt (not table salt). Then you tilt your head and pour the water into one nostril and it comes out the other. I do half in one direction and the other half in the other direction. It takes a bit of getting used to but is no big deal after a few times.

I don’t use a Neti pot any longer though, I use a Neilmed product. It is a little plastic bottle and comes with premixed packets of high grade salt and baking soda. I warm the water a little, like 20 seconds in the microwave then mix. Make sure the water is lukewarm not hot. You don’t want to scald your nasal tissues. Cold is not good either. [/quote]

Please please use distilled water

I use distilled, but I’ve read that purified is ok. Some people boil their own. [/quote]
