Saves the faff of making up your own mixture, and provides a handy and effective bottle for administering the solution.

It’s a really unusual feeling but not unpleasant and does off relief!

The bottle is sturdy and easy to use. The opening at the top is a good size when filling the bottle. The salt sachets are easy to open. The bottle can be easily cleaned in a microwave. It does work to clean your nose and the process was recommended by a doctor. Does not feel particularly comfortable but I don’t think any other product will either.

NeilMed Sinus Relief Kit
=================
This is the NeilMed Original Kit, which includes a squeezy bottle and 60 small sachets of saline nasal rinse. I was extremely dubious when I got this for the missus, but my missus is currently suffering from an extremely bad cold that won’t go away and is now on antibiotics and the doctor also recommended getting a nasal rinse. This brand is the same one in our local pharmacy albeit the price is a lot better online.
It’s actually very simple to use. The bottle is actually a lot bigger than I expected from the listing pics and holds up to 240 ml of either bottled water, filtered water or boiled 5+ mins and cooled to body temp to lukewarm water. To use, fill with appropriate water, add sachet, shake. Then simply press to squirt and tilt your head slightly towards the side that’s not being squirted into and the water goes in one nostril and comes out the other nostril! Since your ear, nose and throat are all connected, you might get some residual water going the wrong way, you just spit any out.
It looks absolutely disgusting when it works – I saw a big long trail of green gloopy slime pushed out by the water whilst I was supervising the missus (she insisted) – so have your tap running while squirting so you don’t have to look at any discharge any longer than necessary.
The missus is a convert, I’m actually thinking about getting one for myself too. Currently selling for 12.99. This product is sold by many resellers as well as in different variations – available in bottle only, bottle and 60 saline sachets, bottle and 120 sachets and packs of sachets also sold separately.
There is a big warning that the squeezy bottle should be replaced every 3 months. I’m assuming due to possible build up of dangerous levels of microbes growing inside the rinse bottle. So I’m not sure why they don’t make cleaning it any easier? Nothing on whether this could be cleaned/sanitised via dishwasher? Also no brush included to clean the inside tube.
Going through the forums, there appear to be two company suggested methods – a small blob of fairy or similar to the bottle, holding your finger (hopefully you’ve cleaned it first) over the opening in the cap and shaking the bottle vigorously. Then squeeze the bottle hard to allow the soapy solution to clean the interior of the tube and the cap and empty out the bottle completely. The other is to rinse with water and microwave the bottle parts for at least 40 seconds. The company appears to also recommend *not* boiling the bottle for sterilisation – the plastic probably won’t hold up to the heat (in which case it’s probably best not to dishwash this either).
Some hidden gotchas if you don’t read the manual thoroughly – there’s a warning not to use plain tap water or water without the salt saline sachet. There’s also a tip to tilt your head after cleaning and gently blow your nose to evacuate any water stuck up your nose, otherwise for some people you may get a water discharge hours after cleaning your nose(!). Also keep your mouth open and breathe normally while cleaning and to stop immediately if there’s any ear pain/discomfort.
