How sinus rinsing helps
Rinsing the nasal passages with a saline solution flushes out mucus, pollen, dust and other irritants, which can ease congestion from colds, sinusitis and allergies. NeilMed's system uses a squeeze bottle with premixed sachets to make an isotonic, body-temperature solution. Always mix with cooled, previously boiled or distilled water as directed, and clean the bottle between uses to keep it hygienic.
