MIRACULOUS
By KittyMac on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020
I have been struggling for about 3 years with irritated sinuses/nasal passages which are usually swollen totally shut on one side, half shut the other. I've tried extra vacuuming and an air purifier (to reduce dust mites, pet dander etc) and antihistamines both sprays and pills, but it all did nothing- apparently not allergies. I tried several types of steroid sprays, which only helped a tiny bit and increased nosebleeds. I like Dristan but if I use it more than twice a week I get rebound congestion, and it leaves the passages TOO dry and open, so every little dust mote irritates. I have seen two ENTs and am on a waiting list to get turbinate reduction by cauterization, which I am scared to do because it requires general anaesthetic. And now thanks to this stuff I think I might decline that surgery! Of course I tried saline MIST first thing of all. It only helps a little. And I tried a Neti pot but that irritated my passages terribly so they clamped shut painfully for over 24h, both times I tried. So I'm not even sure what made me impulsively toss this in my cart. But it is DIFFERENT! It sprays a bigger amount than the mist but way, way smaller amount than the Neti. Just right. It lands where it should, not running down your throat, out your nose, or into your lungs. It seems to hit right where I have inadequate natural lubrication (ok "crusty snot" if you must lol) and in a minute or two, mixes into what is there, increasing its volume so it can be blown out, and some will remain for soothing the surfaces, leaving my passages happy for many hours. Just ideal! It is the perfect recipe for me too, lacking the chemical smell/taste some saline mist has, and not too salty like the mix that came with my Neti. WAY healthier than Dristan, steroids etc. For the past few days, I have been breathing out of two wide-open, noninflamed nostrils for the first time in years! I have not bothered using my expensive prescription steroid spray, or any other products, since getting this. I really can't overstate how lifechanging this stuff is! I am hopeful for various health improvements because I will no longer have insomnia and shallow sleep from blocked nose. I mean it seems sensible to assume being well rested might help mood, digestion etc. Time will tell. I'M SO STOKED! I never imagined I would be this excited over a simple bottle of saline. I am sure not every nose has exactly the same needs so maybe it won't work this well for you, but it is worth a try, especially since it is cheap It is a much bigger volume than the saline mists. But not only that, I assume you use way more of each bottle too. With the mists, because it sucks in air after each squeeze, it gets micobes inside, imho. Mine tend to start smelling mildewy in a couple months and need replacing for freshness, when maybe 1/4 used. Because this bottle uses aerosol it does not suck in any air and so should remain sterile, allowing safe use of the entire bottle.

Hard to press down

It is super hard to press down, although it did solve my nasal congestion well.
