How To Rinse Your Sinus

Sinus rinsing has changed my life. What once seemed terrifying, has now become part of my daily routine. I rinse twice a day. As soon as I get up and an hour before bed. Here is how I do it.

You will need:
NeilMed Sinus Rinse
Alkalol
a glass measuring cup
8oz of distilled water.

1. Pour slightly less than 8oz of distilled water into a glass measuring cup.



2. Microwave the water on high for 35 to 42 seconds (depending on strength of microwave, newer ones only need 35).



3. Fill the (clean) sinus rinse bottle with the warmed distilled water. Make sure it is slightly below the fill line.



4. Add a full rinse packet into the bottle.



5. Add Alkalol until it reaches the fill line. If it’s a light/medium yellow color you have a good amount. If it’s hardly yellow you might not have enough and it won’t be helpful.



6. Put the top on the bottle.



7. Cover the hole with your index finger and shake to mix the water, rinse packet, and alkalol together.

8. Tilt your head to the left with your nose facing down over the sink.

9. Put the top of the bottle in your right nostril and squeeze the bottle gently forcing the water up in the sinus. Stop at the half way point indicated on the bottle.

10. Tilt your head to right with your nose facing down over the sink.

11. Put the top of the bottle in your left nostril and squeeze the bottle gently forcing the water up in the sinus. Stop when the bottle is empty.



Now blow your nose and until there is no congestion left.
