Nasal Hygiene
For most of my life, I have suffered from sinus problems. Headaches from sinus pressure would sometimes be almost debilitating for me. During the spring and fall I experience allergies from pollen and molds that result in watery eyes, sneezing and a almost constant runny nose. It isn't pleasant, as you know if you suffer from allergies, too. Life can be rather miserable when those symptoms take over your life for weeks on end.
Personally, I don't like to take medications of any kind. The allergy relief medications make me drowsy and the time released non-drowsy products make me hyperactive and jittery. When I discovered this natural way to irrigate my nasal passages, I could hardly wait to give it a try. It has become a part of my daily hygiene routine: nasal rinse, brush teeth, and shower.
I have not experienced a sinus headache since I began to use the Neilmed saline rinse and while most people are complaining about their spring allergies; I am symptom free. I believe it is due to using this saline rinse every day. It keeps the irritants out of my sinus passages. It keeps the interior of my nose moisturized and I am breathing so much better without any blockage.
This sinus rinse has worked well for me. As with anything that pertains to your health, you should consult with your physician before using this product. It is a natural saline solution and should be just fine to use but your doctor will know best as to whether it will be beneficial to you and not react to any condition you might have or medications that you might take.
I know quite a few people who really struggle with sinus problems and allergies. It would certainly be wonderful for them to get some relief, especially from those horrible, debilitating headaches. Excellent review and thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteSounds like exactly what I need, Bev. I don't get the terrible sinus headaches I used to as a kid growing up in upstate New York, but the pollens and pollutants here in my current Southeast U.S. location do produce some uncomfortable systems this time of year. Thanks for this review. I will definitely check out this Neilmed saline rinse.
ReplyDeleteFortunately I don't have the allergy problem that so many people who live around here have, but I know a couple of people who do. As always, really appreciate your "tried and true" review and recommendation!

ReplyDeleteI've not heard of this brand. But I do know that since starting to use a nasal rinse (Netipot) I do not have chronic bronchitis and sinus infections as I did.
ReplyDeleteI probably should use this. I just get hung up on how to use it. I hate nasal sprays and I guess I'm a bit afraid of a rinse because of how I have to use it. How, exactly, do you use it?
