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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What water should I use for sinus rinsing?

Use distilled, or cooled previously boiled, water — never untreated tap water straight from the tap — and follow the temperature guidance on the pack.

How often can I rinse?

Saline rinsing is drug-free and can be used regularly, for example once or twice daily during congestion. Follow the product instructions.

Is it suitable for children?

There are age guidelines on the products; supervise children and choose an age-appropriate option. Ask your pharmacist if unsure.
