Depends on the product you use. with mine it is an irrigation solution that rinses out the entire sinus cavity. Takes a little getting use to.
But the junk that comes out.....nasty.

Saline rinse changed my life... really. Before I started using it, I would wake up several times a night with congested sinuses, and would only smoke cigars on weekends because the sinus consequences were so dire.

I stared using saline rinses and I can now smoke whenever I want with no effect on my sinuses and sleep like a baby every night.

I have been considering one of these since my allergies are so bad. I usually have to start Zyrtec at the end of February and stay on it until about November.

Haven't tried any sinus rinses, but my doc hooked me up with some Nasonex. Works great and my wife can sleep peacefully through the night without my snoring from chronic congestion (with or without snorking.)

Default Re: Taking care of your Sinus Cavity

I use a neti pot with great results. Similar but you aren't squirting anything up your nose. You put the pot in one nostril, tilt your head and let it run out of the other nostril. Clears out all kinds of nasty stuff. There are more advanced techniques to get it deeper into the sinus cavities but the basic tilt/drip does a good job.

Default Re: Taking care of your Sinus Cavity

One of the local BOTLs had a massive clogged sinus problem...

As he is a SWAT team member at one of the local prisons, he has access to industrial strength pepper-spray...

It worked for him....

Here is what he posted about his experience:

As some of you may know I suffer from Migraine headaches. Haven't had one for about two years now! Knock on wood!! I still get the visual precursors or the off balance precursor but no headache. Well after the CC herf I notice my throat was sore. I thought perhaps 2 churchills might be to blame but no! I had caught a cold! Sore throat and the like. So today Tim comes over and I smoke a couple of sticks and that brings up all the oysters hanging about! A good thing but the sinus pain was leading to a migraine....

What to do...Back to work and really don't want to take four 12.5 hour shifts of to sit and be in pain....

SO I dragged out a close to empty Mark 9 OC gas canister. This is the size of a fire extinguisher not the little kid size units you see on cop duty belts. I had a left over unit from a training video I made on use and policy. This is a large scale unit. I knew it emptied nasal cavities like Rosy Odonald empties a hot tub party.

Figuring this was going to lead to a migraine I thought WTF. So I sat out back in the dark and turned this bad boy into my face from about two feet away.

Now lets put this into perspective. Getting hit with this crap full face eyes open on an inhale is akin to bobbing for apples in a deep fryer! Sure it won't kill you and for the first 12 seconds that is the problem not the good side of the coin. So with a full monk retraction of the boys I depressed the trigger.

Whoosh Apollo 4 takes off on my face. I drop the unit and fall off the steps and reach for the cool wet towel which providea about as much relief as a moist towelette in hell! I had caught a full inhale spray so the nasal passages were closing about as fast as your dates legs when she hers her Mom come in the room! I swear to god a ****ing smarty I tucked up there at age nine ejected fast enough to leave a mark on my thigh!!

Rolling in the cold wet grass and trying not to make too much noise the mucus discharge could have got me a role in Xtro!!!!

But 15 minutes later I was clear as a bell and having no sinus pain.

Here's hoping my testicles drop before the weekend!

I need a cigar!

+1. The little pot just dribbles through. You control the throttle on this thing and can blast with some pressure if you so desire. Everyone laughed at me (I was even unsure when I first bought it). Now my mom even swears my it. My wife still gives it a head shake, though.

I've been usin' a neti pot as well, but not cause I have gotten to smoke, unfortunately..

Actually, the pollution is so bad, I basically have been smoking 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the past month!

I use this religiously! I don't bother with the packets; I just use kosher salt.
