Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / June 2005What Saline Nasal Sprays Do You Use?
Hi Everyone I'm just looking for some general info, OTC, ordered from Internet or make your own. Also, what brands are people currently using and have had experience/success with. I've searched the group and found some good info, but most of it was kind of dated. So I thought I'd post to try and get some more current info. Any info is much appreciated--Thanks! I use Simply Saline nasal rinse, as the other brands made my nasal membranes burn and bleed. shirley Thanks Shirley I see it doesn't have any preservatives like benzalkonium chloride that most OTC sprays seem to have these days. Is anyone of the list using any of the Breathe-EaseXL products? If so, how do you like them?

The higher cost over time of using Breathe-EaseXL was the reason I eventually switched to mixing my own saline after I figured out what type salt, soda and water worked ok for me. Hey augustwestern--Just curious, what kind of salt, soda and water ended up working best for you? Thanks > Hey augustwestern--Just curious, what kind of salt, soda and water > ended up working best for you? > > Thanks What ended up working best for me was using no iodine sea salt that was clearly marked as being pure with no anti-caking agents or any other additives. Look for pure baking soda with no added ingredients and then I use distilled water. I use 6 teaspoons salt and 2 tsp. baking soda per gallon of water. This premixed gallon of saline lasts me for 3-4 days or about 8 irrigations. Distilled water runs about .58 a gallon if you look around. Your mileage and salt/soda % may vary from mine.
