I have had sinus congestion most of my life, and have recently begun
to irrigate, as I have found this very helpful, more helpful than
drugs or sprays.

I currently use a bulb syringe and find this does the job, but would
like to hear what works best for others out there.

Any and all advice appreciated.

thanks - s

My doctor recommended the nasal irrigation due to problems with nasal
congestion. The recipe I follow is 2-3 heaping tsp of kosher salt, 1
heaping tsp of baking soda and a quart of water.

All I want to know is what types of devises do you'll prefer to use
when irrigating? I find using the bulb syringe a pain.

Here's what I use:

They are cheap and work very good. Just buy the bottle for $3.99
and continue to use your mixture.
