Kevin Uses the Neil MD Sinus Rinse for the First Time 

Hi Kevin and Tammy, I had to use this sinus rinse for 4 months after I had my tear ducts reconstructed. I boiled a quart of water every day, let it cool and put it in the refrigerator for when I need to use it. Just a little tip… The rinse feels better if you heat the water in the microwave for about 15 seconds. By that I mean the saline rinse should be tepid too warm. It just feels more soothing. Thanks for all your reviews! I love your channel. XO Leslie

Bought one of these babies last month, with 2 packets included. I love it!! It was about $8 @Walmart.

Thankyou Kevin and Tami, I was scared to try this but I feel more confident seeing you make it look so easy!! :)

This product really works. I was having upper tooth pain due to my sinuses and thought I needed a root canal. After using this product my sinus passages feel so clean and I can breathe. No more tooth pain!

Yep. I was going to recommend distilled water or boiled and cooled water. You don't want to get any nasty fungus or infection from tap water being in your sinuses. But these sort of things are a great option! Glad you got some relief! Brett, PharmD hahah

Great video! I liked it a lot better than all of the professional ones, even. You guys made me feel a lot more at ease and you were even throwing jokes in here and there and that helped because I get nervous and didn't wanna screw it up. >.< I bought myself one of these kits years ago but after giving it two different tries, put it back in my closet and that's where it has stayed, collecting dust all these years, so this video was a nice refresher. I've been having these INSANE stomach issues caused by severe post nasal drip in which my nasal spray doesn't seem to be touching, so a walk-in doc suggested that I try out one of these and by luck, I still had mine! (Yay for not having to spend money! 😂😂😂) My first time trying out this rinse, I'd feel like I had been crying for HOURS after I had gotten done with a treatment and I couldn't STAND it, so I never stuck with it. This time, however, I feel just fine. 😕🤷 So weird.... No idea why, though. Last time I used distilled water and this time I used spring water, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it. 🤔🤷 Either way, I hope that this keeps up and that I get some kind of results because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. 😑 Hope all is well with you guys.

Its excellent. Always use distilled water. I leave my bottle in the washroom tightly sealed.

I know this is an older video... but I have used this for years! Tami’s so funny “I’m not seeing mucus...” when I first used it - it took 3 or 4 days, and I had a humongous piece of mucus slide out. And I was like 😱 “oh sh**! Where was that hiding?!” And once that was out... I felt so much better 👍

U dont have to use a the whole bottle everytime. Just enough to where u get one side rinsed out. And u can do it again at night. No need to throw away the mixture m. A full mix should last a week. Also just wash bottle with soap and let air dry. No need to replace it every three months

If you are severely congested (as with a sinus infection) you will have to repeat it after a pause to let the moisture get into the mucus. Yes, sometimes you will see the mucus come out! But the relief is so worth it!

I'm so plugged right now, and that looks so satisfying that I kind of don't even care if it really cures it. I just want to breathe a little better and have something flush out whatever's up there or at least have the feeling that it's being flushed. Thanks for the demo

What an awesome thing to share with us! I'm sure a lot of people are afraid to try something like this...and by showing how it's done and telling us how it felt....I bet you really helped everyone that had second thoughts of trying something like this !!:)

You need to warm up your distilled water so salt dissolves, undissolved salt burns. Warmth will also loosen and move mucus.

It hurts my ears no matter how i do it and i get dizzy. But it helps me not get build-up in my throat, tickle in my throat at night, and I can actually breathe. It's helped me so much with allergies.

Thank you for this video. It helps convince me that the rinse can help me.

Did you know that rinsing your mouth out with Warm table salt water or warm sea salt water is much safer and better then doing it with plain regular mouthwash because unlike mouthwash if you accidentally swallow some of the salt it's not going to cause any harm what so ever like mouthwash does because we do eat salt after all anyway almost everysingle day of it

Like all natural remedies, it works over time. I have been doing it for 2 months, what difference in breathing. It kills pathogens and helps with allergy a lot instead of taking the chemicals aka drugs that doctors want to give you. I do it whenever I shower, very easy and no mess.

Funny enough I have a sinus infection right now and I just got recommended this video under the new crumble cookie video! I've never tried anything like this, or a netti pot, i don't think those are common here but upon watching this video and hearing that it's not a nightmare of an experience I'm gonna go check if they do sell something like this at pharmacies here

Hi Kevin and Tami, thank you for another interesting video. Kevin I'm glad your sinus' cleared up. Just want to pass on this info: before I was first diagnosed as pre-diabetic nearly 7 years ago, one of the things I kept getting was re-occurring sinus infections and I learned that pre-diabetes and an increase incidence of sinus infections sometimes correlate (hope I'm saying that right). Anyway, you probably take care of yourself, but consider getting your blood sugar tested to be sure you're not pre-diabetic or diabetic.

I have tried this quite a few times but I feel like I’m drowning because I’m clearly not doing the right technique. I have watched so many videos . The more I try the more my confidence decreases . Kevin‘s video is helpful. so I’m gonna try again later and hopefully get it right next time. I need to practice the bottle squeezing because either the water rashes out, or it doesn’t go up my nose. Thank you, Tami and Kevin

Thanks for showing this. I just bought one at Walmart under the direction of my lung doctor and he swears by these. He said the NeilMed sinus rinse ONLY, not something LIKE it, lol that one only. I just need some distilled or boiled water and it’s on!

Great video - but you really shouldn’t use bottled water. Not for nothing but we think b/c it’s bottled - it’s safe. Not so, many bottled water contain fluoride & you shouldn’t be shooting that up your nose. Distilled water or better yet (boiled water) that has cooled down

I’m having sinus nasal surgery (they are cleaning it out) next week... I can’t start doing it till after the surgery (right side is completely blocked) your video made me not as nervous and explained the process very well. Also appreciated it was your first attempt! Thank you.

It didn't go from one of my nostril to the other but I did feel a slight difference after lightly blowing my nose. I'll try again tomorrow

I just trow half a flat spoon of salt into the water. It's the same but way cheaper.

Repeated use after a week u should see differences or i did atleast. I only use it during the harvest months. If u do not see results or suffer from bad allergies use two packets so the mixture becomes a hypertonic solution

Thanks, I have been seeing an ENT and they told me to do this twice a day. He also prescribed a medication to pour in but it was $400.00. Can't do that. He told me I could use Rhinocort spray twice a day. This is only for 4 weeks. I go back and see what happens. They did a CT also. I have had terrible headaches always. I am allergic to almost everything. Appreciate the video, it helps!

Just so you know, if you use this you should use distilled water

I have used this (the bottle) for years. I have allergies & sinus problems. I do it about 3-4 days a week & it prevents me from getting sick. I honestly believe it's THE BEST invention ever! The bottle is supposedly more 'intense' than the pot. I use 2 salt packages because I don't think 1 is enough. It's so refreshing!

I actually use 1 full bottle for each side & it doesn’t burn b/c it’s Ph balanced to match your tears I prefer warm water & would rather boil the water, then let it cool down. The only time you shouldn’t use this is if you literally have a sinus infection!!! But other than that ... this thing is awesome. Definitely good for allergies, colds, flu & prevention of all these

I did it felt better instantly better

Thanks for the video! I've been told to use a saline rinse, but I've been really worried about it, even though friends have reassured me that they've done it. It doesn't look so bad, seeing you do it.

I tried this after my second sinus infection and....It was immediately effective and glops of mucus came out! Sorry for the gross description( lol). It is better than continues use of nasal sprays.This is my forever nasal decongestant. Thanks for the awesome video

My nose has been stuffed for ten to fifteen years at least, rarely does it clear itself. Something has to have a VERY strong smell for me to pick up a scent. Think it would do anything for me?

Kevin I like you're demo better than the company video. I just administered the Nelimed Rinse and the first squirt, I didn't use lukewarm distilled water. The cold water gave me a brain freeze. So, I put the filled bottle in the microwave for 20 seconds, replaced the cap & rinsed. Much better. Interesting that the tube doesn't touch the bottle bottom...right?

Again thank you so much for sharing. After waiting for 2 weeks I finally did it. Well we did it. I had the video going so the three of us kinda did it together. Your right it feels weird. I leaned way over and tilted my head. I did feel a cold sensation in my throat but no water ran down the back of my throat. Which that was what scared me most was having that drowning sensation. But that did not happen at all. And I guess it depends on how bad your sinus infection is. Because mine is I guess severe enough that it's yellow and green that's exactly what I had come out the very first time I used it. Thanks again keep you posted if it clears everything up.

This is better than Mucinex I had an itchy throat after I put this in my nose it cleared it up best invention of the world

I hope you are feeling better. If you use anything but distilled water, you should boil it first...even bottled drinking water. Also the thing I like about my neti pot, is that I can put it right into my dishwasher. I add a little bleach to the start of my cycle. I am a little germaphobic I guess.

Yes yes yes I have been wondering about this. I will give it a try thanks guys!

I just tried this myself after watching your video I went up to Walfart and got one for like 12 bucks after tax. Here lately I have tried sudafed, zyrtec, mucinex, alka seltzer decongestion and the only thing that actually worked was a nasal spray with oxymetazoline and even that only worked for a few hours and that stuff is bad for ya in a prolonged useage. I always was really leary about trying this because I thought it would like when you get water up your nose when swimming in a pool. I think as long as you lean over and have your mouth open too it wont burn but still is a very wierd sensation the first time doing this. I do agree this would be better than the nette pot for the reasons you stated and so far definitely working better than all those other drugs I tried:) I am already feeling a lot better out of one of my nostrils. The other one I guess wants to be stubborn, I guess it just takes after me lol. But thanks for the video it was the final factor in me actually trying this.

Needed this just got one today thank u

I used this after sinus surgery, worked great to get all the old blood and clots out! Sorry if tmi, but the healing after sinus surgery is messy. This definitely helped a lot!

I'm currently this due my allergies and drainage in my middle of of chest allergies suck

Sometimes you don't have any snot come out. But many times you will have a big wad of snot come out. Also, If you have a sinus headache, many times you will have a little round bit of snot (sinus channel snot plug) once that comes out then your sinuses can drain. It is amazing how snot can be like a big bunch of glue. If you get it wet then it will finally dislodge from the nasal wall and come out. You can also, mix Colloidal Silver into the salt water and the Silver is a natural disinfectant. Over time you can heal your sinus infection problems with Colloidal Silver in the sinus rinse.

How do you know how hard/fast to squeeze the bottle? I had water coming out of my eye on the side I was irrigating, so thought maybe I was doing it too hard, but only a dribble from the first nostril and nothing from the second.

Excellent presentation. I have the same device. Thank you so much

Don't use tap water!!! Boil tap water if you must. Use distilled water

I have been using this for years my allergy doctor gave it to me. I have also used a Nettie pot. I think the bottle works better. I hope it works as well for as it does for me. Great review. Laura from Los Angeles

Yeah..you're not supposed to use even regular bottled water since too often it's just tap water. Distilled or boiled only.

I know the instructions didn’t say use bottled water Plus, water should be lukewarm or as warm as it can that’s a comfortable temperature

Thanks 👍

Yo... Don't use Dasani. Use cooled boiled water lol. And of course mucus isn't rushing out. You're thinning it and it's rushing with the water

I just bought NeilMed Sinus Rinse and it says not to use with a Block ear or ear infection.. I feel like there is pressure in my left ear so question now is why cant i use the product

Anyone else keep dripping even after rinsing??? It's so wierd, it's only on one side too

What about the bottle washing and sterilization process? That step is missing and I would think is very important...

I think it must be "Distilled" water.. not bottled.. plain bottled waster isn't safe..

One thing that does work for people is eating local honey and you will get allergies bad but ur body will then fight it and u should start to get immune

This is amazing,I had another manufacture device. This is 100 % helpful and easy to use . Room temperature bottle water VS distilled water makes a world of difference .Easy and pleasant as possible.When the doctor said 3 times daily.I thought OH NO Impossible .Use half in one side then switch RELIEF ,Give your self treatments and time. Clean and air dry .There is no burning .Don’t swallow any thing that is in the back of your thought .Perhaps the pressure used with this product and bottle is better BE well

Great review! So sorry to hear that Kevin has been having sinus issues :) Also, just a warning (not to upset you): Make sure you don't use tap water because it is less likely to boil completely, thus occasionally causing Naegleria fowleri a.k.a. "Brain-Eating Amoeba" infections (see article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri) You don't need to worry because you used bottled water, just make sure you don't use tap water :) ... Yikes! Not intended to worry you, just a precaution :) Sorry again about the infection; great review! -John

How do I make it stop coming from my mouth

I just bought this, and geez! I should've know, you guys have videos on EVERYTHING!! haha!! I sure hope it helps because my head feels like it's going to explode! Kevin, do you still use this regularly?

I have pretty bad asthma and allergies and This works WONDERS for me, during the change of seasons I use it every other day if not every day and it helps me so much.

Okay. I was really apprehensive about getting one and doing, even after watching another video of a first time user. BUT after watching you, I'm going to do it tomorrow! Oh God! Did I just sound excited? Ugh!

I used to for the first time today myself. Had this cough (from a cold I've had for a few days) and wasn't able to sleep. As they say use very filtered water or bottled water (or water that's been well boiled and then of course cooled off) but don't use tap water. So far, I like it better than my Neti Pot as it's easier to control and less uncomfortable and awkward. The premixed packets also is great because less of a chance of putting too much or too little in with the (warm but not hot) water.

Thank you for sharing.

I feel the pressure worse when I do this

Don't use tap water!!! Boil tap water if you must. Should use distilled water !!! NO TAP WATER

is that available here in saudi arabia? have sinus infection..thanks

Thank you for the review! I really appreciate that. I have had a great fear of doing this because I cannot swim and when water even goes up my nose a little I feel like I can't breathe, so that's why I've been putting this off. But I have such severe sinus issues now. Do you feel like someone like me could do this?

What do you think I should do if one side is so clogged the the water doesn’t even go through ?

NO TAP WATER FOLLOW THE CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS

This was recommended to me by my Ent doctor. Does this help with cleaning mucus in throat Also when I do it water doesn't come out the other nostril

Good grief you two review everything lol

I couldn't use all of this what about your ears? That hurt my ears felt like they filled up with water! My My

I keep seeing commercials for this Navage thing. It looks horrifying.

It's better to use distilled water.

Thank you, your video was very helpful. On point!!!!

Does this improve halitosis? Did any1 notice a difference after using it

That's just 50 of the stuff you dilute. Can reuse it longer

I JUST DONE IT ALSO MY EXPERIENCE IS ITS LIKE A FLEET FOR YOUR NOSE .

2016... nice, anyway, thanks helped me decide to try this over my normal Walmart upside-down one. For it to do amazingly well, take a nice hot steamy shower beforehand. You can also breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose as you squeeze. Decongestants and an anti-inflammatory 15 minutes beforehand will greatly improve your success in my experience. After you have successfully cleared your sinus a few times you can start to feel where the blockage is, where it's stuck, and you can learn how to almost aim the stream to hit the blockage just right. At the end on a bad blockage where the water does make it through but just barely. I'll do a full neti pot up to 3 times in a row. to clear it. The relief is just too amazing. BE WARNED if you use it and it hurts or just doesn't want to come out the other side of your nose but instead only out your mouth, eye, or into the middle ear seek medical help you may have a more severe medical condition. Use only Distilled Water (Prefered), Boiled Tap Water for 5 minutes, and cool to ambient (Second Best) You can also use filtered water just make sure the filter has an absolute pore size of 1 micron or smaller. (0.2 micron is optimal, Third Best Option) IF AND ONLY IF AFTER ALL OF THOSE OPTIONS ARE GONE OR UNAVAILABLE Google how to sterilize water using unscented bleach for use in nasal irrigation. This isn't a Joke. This is a real warning. The Brain-eating Amoeba is a real thing and it's not a nice way to die.

Thank you Kevin, I did it exactly like u did and it worked great.

Was told to do this for BMS - Burning Mouth Syndrome. Has anyone found it to effective?

NeilMed is brilliant my doctor recommended this a while back as I suffer from rhinitis and this really helps to clear my nose. X

I used my sinus rinse today and yesterday because I had a stuffy nose for 19 whole days now and I had this cough too and it is getting on my nerves and it is driving me nuts and crazy too.

Does this cuase any side effects not sure if I still got the smell in my nose can anybody respond my question ols

Directions say to disinfect in the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes.

The simple answer is use distilled water. You don't know what is in your tap water. Even after you boil it, you still have minerals in it. Distilled has NOTHING but water in it. The minerals you may encounter in tap water may not be the best thing to be snorting when you are experiencing sinus problems. Distilled water doesn't cost that much. You paid for this much for this product, why cheap out over a dollar for clean water?

I just tried this a few days ago for the first time. I ended up with a shiner under one of my eyes. Why would that happen? Any thoughts on how to avoid that in the future?

To safeguard against pathogens USE DISTILLED OR BOILED WATER

My sinus infection was so bad that the rinse wouldn't come out my other nostril but instead my mouth or get lodged in my ears.

Just tried this product and now my ears are clogged as well as my nose... ohhh and a little vertigo as well

Do you hold your breath while squeezing? First timer user and I’m terrified of drowning..

How often should you do it

I finally tried it and it was the worst feeling. I couldn't breathe and no water was coming out of my other nostril, so I had to keep pulling it out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

It works as advertised!!

Does Kevin have any specific allergies? From watching your videos I have noticed that Kevin does seem to sneeze and cough a lot.

After using it, again after some minutes do we need to wash the nose with normal water

Will this help my sinus infection.. sinusitis?? Kaiser pharmacy recommended i try it

J'utilise ce produit régulièrement depuis 3 ans , est-ce conseillé. J'ai des éruptions dans le nez. Merci
