The FDA recommends you only use distilled, sterile, or previously boiled (then cooled) water. And if you have chronic sinus infections, you should speak with your doctor.
Promising review: “I LOVE THIS SOLUTION! I have migraines, and my sinuses are really sensitive and will trigger one when I don’t take care of them, especially in winter when my furnace runs a lot. I have a hot water pot in my bedroom to help, but since using this solution on a regular basis, my migraines that are directly related to my sinus issues have become far fewer in number. Quite often when I wake up and my sinuses hurt and I feel a headache coming on I will make a hypertonic solution with lukewarm water and slowly irrigate my sinuses and I find most of the times the headache goes away before it becomes a migraine and my sinuses feel so much better. I am comfortable saying I’m at a lifetime low on migraines and plan on using this product for the rest of my life. I wasn’t paid for this review, and I didn’t get a discount.” —Martin
