I’ve
suffered
from
severe

allergies
my
entire
adult
life,
despite
being
unafflicted
as
a
child.
As
a
result,
I’ve
come
to
rely
on
everything
from
near-daily

allergy
meds
to
using
a
neti-pot
to
rinse
out
my

sinuses.
Recently,
I
came
across
the

NeilMed
Sinus
Rinse,
and
the
thousands
of
glowing
reviews,
ease
of
use
and
affordability
have
turned
my
head.

Scores
of
people
at

Amazon
seem
to
prefer
it
over
a
neti-pot,
which
requires
you
to
tilt
your
head
as
you
pour
the
distilled
water
and
solution
into
your
nose.
As
someone
who
also
highly
dislikes
that
process,
I’m
increasingly
compelled
by
how
easy
it
is
to
use
the
NeilMed
Sinus
Rinse
bottle.

Allergy
affliction
is
on
the
rise,
with
many,
myself
included,
finding
that
they
are

getting
worse
with
age.
As
if
that
wasn’t
bad
enough,
allergy
season
is
intensifying
as
a

result
of
climate
change.
In
previous
reporting,
allergy
experts

confirmed
that
shifting
temperatures
have
increased
pollen
production,
intensifying
and
prolonging
symptoms
for
anyone
who
may
already
be
sensitive
to
pollen.

Having
something
like
this
sinus
rinse
in
your
allergy-fighting
arsenal
can
be
a
great
alternative
for
people
who
want
to
avoid
antihistamines,
which
can
have
pesky

side
effects.

The

NeilMed
Sinus
Rinse
is
a
drug-free
saline
rinse
that
can
help
to
wash
away
mucus,
allergens
and
other
irritants
like
dust,
fumes,
pet
dander,
grass,
pollen,
smog
and
smoke
that
can
cause
congestion,
dryness,
itchiness
and
post-nasal
drip.
You
just
squirt
it
confidently
up
your
nostril
and
watch
the
debris
fall
out
of
your
schnoz.

A
nice
side
effect
of
using
this
rinse
is
that
it
can
also
help
to
moisturize
dry
nasal
passages
and
sinuses,
a
must
when
fighting

infection,
irritation,
allergies
and
more.
One

reviewer
said
it
“feels
so
freaking
soothing.”

Another
pointed
out
that
“this
will
absolutely
make
you
feel
better,”
while

several
noted
that
it’s
a
helpful
healing

tool
post-nose

surgery.
Interestingly
enough,
more
than
one

reviewer
credits
this
rinse
for
helping
them
avoid
illness.

The
complete
kit
includes
the
sinus
rinse
bottle
along
with
50
premixed
saline
packets.
You
simply
pour
one
sachet
into
the
bottle
and
add

distilled
water
for
instant
relief.
Many
use
it
on
its
own
and
find
that
it
relieves
a
lot
of
unpleasant
symptoms,
but
you
can
also
use
this
rinse
before
additional
nasal
sprays.

Amazon
is
chock-full
of
incredibly
enthusiastic
reviews
that
emphasize
this
rinse’s
effectiveness.
Take
a
look
at
what
shoppers
have
to
say
and
snag
one
of
these
kits
for
yourself.
You’ll
be
glad
you
have
one
on
hand
next
time
allergies,
a
sinus
infection
or
a
yucky
cold
strikes
you
down.

Promising
reviews:

“Excellent
product!
Very
easy
to
use
and
clean,
and
truly
effective
at
relieving
nasal
congestion.

I
noticed
a
big
difference
from
the
first
use,
and
it
has
helped
me
a
lot
with
allergies
and
colds.
The
design
is
comfortable
and
safe,
and
it
comes
with
clear
instructions.
I
definitely
recommend
it
to
anyone
looking
to
keep
their
nasal
passages
clean
and
healthy.”

“A
must
have
for
all
your
sinus
issues.
Love
the
fact
that
you
don’t
tip
the
bottle
(as
in
some
others
that
look
like
a
tea
kettle).
The
bottle
stands
straight
up
and
you
just
shoot
it
up
your
nose
as
you’re
leaning
over
the
sink.

SUPER
easy
to
use
and
this
actually
works
and
clears
out
and
cleans
out
your
sinuses!”

“easy
to
use!
This
is
my
2nd
year
to
use
and
it
had
been
helping
me
a
lot
to
reduce
my
allergy.”

“This
works
surprisingly
well!
I
have
pregnancy
related
nasal
congestion
and
do
not
want
to
take
otc
nasal
spray.
I
will
say
the
feeling
of
shooting
water
up
my
nose
feels
like
it’s
itching
my
brain
and
not
the
most
comfortable.
However,

the
outcome
is
so
worth
it.
I
live
in
a
high
desert
climate
so
I
think
most
of
my
congestion
is
generally
related
to
the
dry
climate.
Being
able
to
clear
out
the
sinuses
and
moisturize
them
has
made
a
huge
difference.”

“Skeptical
on
the
purchase
I
tried
the
spray
as
instructed.
After
the
second
day
my
nose
stopped
running
and
my
sense
of
smell
improved
50%.
It
was
very
discouraging
for
a
long
time
not
being
able
to
smell
a
nice
BBQ
or
fresh
air.

Would
recommend
to
anyone
with
sinus
issues.”

I

my
sinuses.”

“This
stuff
is
a
LIFESAVER
when
you’re
sick!!!!!!!!!!
It
clears
out
my
sinuses
enough
to
help
me
be
able
to
sleep,
and
I
recommend
it
to
EVERYONE!!!!!!
And
it’s
not
medicated,
so
it
doesn’t
have
side
effects!
It
leaves
a
bit
of
a
salty
feel
in
your
nose,
but
it
is
still
SO
WORTH
IT!!!!!!!
I
can
go
four-six
hours
feeling
relief
after
using
this!!!

I
cannot
recommend
it
enough!”
