Xlear Natural Xylitol Sinus Rinse Refill, Neti Pot Saline Packets - Nose Cleaner for Fast Pressure and Congestion Relief, Works with Most Nasal Irrigation Systems, 50 Count (Pack of 1)

My favorite remedy for any kind of nose/sinus trouble is a saline rinse. When that wasn't available, sometimes chewing xylitol gum helped with the sinuses. So this is the magic combo. As a bonus, it leaves my mucous membranes feeling more normal than rinsing them with just saline does. Dissolving one of these packets can take a bit of extra swirling, compared to a plain salt/bicarbonate solution. I use a clear neti bottle with a valve, from Waterpulse, which I'm also very pleased with, and which makes it easy to see if it's all dissolved or not. Just as routine safety reminders, keep all xylitol scrupulously away from dogs, and use distilled water for this.

I have had to do the "bottle rinse" for years for my sinuses. This is a game changer for me. The Xylitol really makes a difference in clearing out thick build up. I didn't even know these existed until my ENT asked me if I tried them. He gave me a sample of the Xlear Nasal Spray, and then I found these packets here. This is a re-order for me and I have used them for months now, so I feel safe in saying that these work better than the little saline packets. They use the same amount of water in the bottle and work harder than the tiny saline only ones. I have found using them only at night is sufficient for me. Hope they work for you!

This salt solution is really good for cleaning out the sinus. Works wonders at night and helps me sleep a lot better. It comes with a lot of packs for a pretty good price. Quite easy to use if you use either their bottle washer or an electric one

I've started to use this sinus rinse kit because i seen this tv show that shown the sinus cavity and how modern nose sprays contract the blood vessels and shrinks nasal cavities allowing you to breath. What's wrong with that you think? Well over time the shrunken blood vessels grow more vessels and scar tissue to overcome the medicine that shrunk them in the first place. So guess what, you end up with permanent nose clog, and the doctors on the show recommended that you just rinse straight up, or slightly tilted to one side to drain out the other nose while saying ahhhhh, then it doesn't go into your ears which you dont want. You just want a gentle washing of the sinus cavity, not a jet stream up the nose. Anyways, you'll thank me later when you start rinsing and saving your nose from damage. Now on to the review, it's just as pictured. The plastic bottle is just a gentle squeeze bottle with the straw attached inside the top, you mix half a packet of xylitol, sea salt, sodium bicarbonate (it's pre-mixed) in 8-10 oz of luke warm bottled or sterilized water and thats it, let it dissolve. The manufacturer recommends tilting head forward, closing off one nostril, and just squeezing gently to get a stream going up while breathing in, to allow it to rise and hit all of the sinus cavity. Of course if you breath too hard you'll inhale the liquid, so just enough to go up a little ways and it will just come drain back down out of the same nostril. I like my ahhhh method better lol, but you'll find that you will discover your own way and do it that way. Just remember a gentle rinse is all you need. I just wish they'd give you like 20 packets as most of the ingredients are cheap. Update: i found that xlear and other companies make and sell the same xylitol birch type (not corn), on amazon so just mix with your own sea salt or kosher salt and bicarbonate and save some money. Anyways, what i found is if i'm anywhere close to catching a cold or something, like i feel some congestion coming on, or a sneeze. I have been rinsing once or twice, with lukewarm water and this mixture, and i haven't caught any major colds or they go away faster, no sore throats in two years. Now i can't positively say it's just this nose spray, but i know it's helping in some way as i haven't caught any major colds in years.

I am a newcomer to the whole Neti-Pot thing. I've been experiencing weird sinus congestion for the past month, and I'm thinking it's seasonal allergies. My nose plugs up when I lie down, and during the day it feels like the back of my nose right above my throat is clogged, and it creates this uncomfortable pressure that makes it feel like my lungs are straining to breathe. There's always mucus running down my throat, and no matter what I did to try to clear it, nothing seemed to work. I looked online and someone said to try the Neti Pot. Reading the reviews, this one seemed better than the traditional Neti because it really forces the mucus through your sinuses and can reach the back of your throat better. My problem isn't my nostrils, it's the back of my sinuses. Also I don't have crazy bad seasonal allergies, so I can only speak for minor symptoms. I use cooled boiled water and that seems to work fine. You can use store-bought distilled water, but I didn't want to buy all that water if I'm using this stuff every day. The powder solution that comes in the box is sweet, which is pleasant. I'm kind of puzzled by the instructions that come in the box about how to get the water through your sinuses because it seems like the way they describe it would cause you to inhale water in your lungs? Maybe I have the nose/throat anatomy wrong, but I disregarded the instructions they gave because it seemed scary. Instead, I put the nozzle in one nostril, hold my breath, and slowly squeeze the bottle. This causes the solution to exit through the other nostril and also go down my throat. I still go slowly and a little bit at a time, but maybe later on I can be brave and use more pressure. Baby steps. After I'm all done, I'll have some solution run down my throat for the next 10 minutes or so until everything's all cleared. The sensation of the water running through my sinuses is uncomfortable, but I figure I'll get used to it, and if that's what it takes to clear all the mucus, I'm okay with that. It basically feels like when you accidentally get water up your nose in the pool, but a little less uncomfortable. I try to use it every morning and night, but it depends on how much my sinuses are acting up. After the initial use, I already feel so much better. This device really shoves all the congestion away, and I felt like it had been building up for a while. What a relief. I imagine this to be a lifesaver when I'm sick and super stuffed up. Anyway I've read that if you suffer from bad seasonal allergies, using this twice a day can really relieve you of most symptoms and perhaps eradicate all symptoms completely. Plus, since it's made of plastic, it can essentially last forever versus the ceramic ones that crack after all the salt. I imagine that after I'm done using all the packets of solution they provide in the box, I'll just use sea salt and have a simple routine. $12 for simple and effective symptom relief? Heck yeah!

I use this as a supplement to my Navage rinse solution. I heat my water first in a glass measuring cup in microwave (about 40 seconds for 8 oz), add half to reservoir, then half a packet of Xlear, and remainder of water. The warm water helps the crystals to dissolve after I’ve added the Navage pod and closed lid and swirled it around in both directions.

These have been very helpful during fall and winter season. They have helped with stuffy nose, and bloody nose during winter due to low humidity. They are made with good ingredients and what else you can ask for your family. This is the only nasal spray I buy.

The xylitol (basically sugar, for those unfamiliar) makes it more effective than saline, and that effectiveness was immediate on the first experience. No saline spray has been like that. A friend got a bottle and was also impressed with the drainage it prompted. I got him on it because he has frequent nosebleeds, and I personally find saline to be more drying than hydrating, from when I had my own nosebleed days. The grapefruit seed extract in it burns slightly sometimes when there's dryness, but the spray itself isn't drying. The pump is truly a MIST of wide coverage. The cap pops on and off (doesn't screw) and it somehow - also impressively - manages to stay on completely. Doesn't even weaken or loosen with frequent popping on and off. The bottle appears to be shatterproof and also doesn't leak. I feel very safe with this holding receptacle among other contents in bags. Angling of bottle tip and head positioning does matter. Tip in towards middle of nose for sinuses; tipped out towards ears for eustachian tubes. Your head is apparently also supposed to be face-down to to the ground, with the bottle held completely vertical. That last part, jury's out on but tip angling is all true. When the liquid gets too low for the tube and begins asking for pump battles, I save it and add it to another bottle. Especially when it only needs one pump's worth for effectiveness, unlike other sprays... Yep, no waste of goodness! Fyi, I also use the Xlear packets for Neti pot sinus rinses and it also works awesomely. It doesn't have the seed extract, but does have baking soda in it. Also worth checking out. Additionally have the red MAX congestion spray, with the capsicum, aloe vera, and grapefruit seed extract in it. I haven't needed to pull out the heavy artillery beyond trying it once so I can't comment on its effectiveness when sickly yet. However, this company appears to be of quality products so I have no doubt MAX also would be effective in its task, as the rest of their products are. I'm Team Xlear over here... can you tell? LOL

Alles gut
