Reddit mentions of SinuPulse Elite Advanced Nasal Sinus Irrigation System

That 'poop' smell can often come from your sinuses/throat/tonsils.

There are little white demon spawns which exist in your tonsils. They are aptly named 'tonsil stones'. They are soft funky things and unfortunately very closely resemble the odor of feces.

I occasionally suffer from them. Then best remedy I have found is to find something to allow you to flush out your tonsils periodically. This is the best tool I have found for this task:

When one side of the nose is completely clogged up, the neti pot doesn't cut it, so I went on Amazon and bought an nasal irrigation system with an electric pump that delivers the saline solution with pressure, and let me tell, it's a beast!
SinuPulse, here it is.

Buy one of these http://www.amazon.com/SinuPulse-Elite-Advanced-Irrigation-System/dp/B001CWT4JI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1260648880&sr=8-1

I cant tell you how much better my life is after owning this. I use it twice a day and havent had congestion since I started. I still get some nasal inflammation, but that is nothing compared to the problems I used to have.

My sinus problems sounded exactly like yours. I started using one of these things:

I used it whenever I felt like I needed it, which was like 2 or 3 times a month. After about six months, I ended up not needing it anymore. I use it maybe once or twice a year now if that. It totally fixed me up. You should buy extra salt made specifically for these things. And you should only use bottled or filtered water.

The system is designed to limit how far you can shoot the salt water up there. But I found that the farther in I could shoot it, the better the results were. IANAD and YMMV.

Life changing

Was dating a girl for a couple months last summer. I had a pool party at my mom's house, she attended. At the end of the party, she was helping me carry stuff back inside. I wasn't actually intending to have the formal introduction at this point, but it was as good as ever. Walked into the kitchen and my mom was bent over the sink using some sort of electric Neti pot (kinda like this but not exactly). Basically, it sounded like a small motor and she was irrigating her nasal passages. Very flattering.

I use one of these. http://www.amazon.com/SinuPulse-Elite-Advanced-Irrigation-System/dp/B001CWT4JI

Have not had a sinus infection in 6 years. They used to be at least an annual thing.

This is totally worth it. I had to get one after my surgery ( but I use it at least 1-2x a week & no salt water in my throat) its a Neti pressure washer! I had sticker shock for sure, but I've saved so much money on decongestants, antibiotics, (lady medication from the antibiotics) If you get them more than 1-2x a year, go for it. Also you can use an FSA if you have one.

Also drop a mint tea bag in a pot of low boiling water and put a hand towel over your head & breathe in to get some of the congestion broken up. I hope you get feeling better. Sinus infections are horrible.

Actually, Science Based Medicine covered nasal irrigation recently. The concept of rinsing your nose with saline is sound, and has some evidence of benefit behind it. However, buying an expensive tool or pricey saline from a magical source in France is a bit silly. You can make it at home with pickling salt (non-iodized), clean containers, and filtered water.

As an anecdote: I've done this myself using a $3 sqeeze bottle and it feels good. My old roommate, prone to sinus infections, invested in a more expensive pump system that he uses daily; he hasn't gotten a bad enough sinus infection to require a doctor visit since he started (which used to be an annual thing for him).

In my thinking, a saline flush can help get particulate matter out of your nose faster in roughly he same way that a doctor would use sterile saline to get dirt out of a wound. It won't help with viral inflammation or other types of issues.

My pulmonologist recommended a nasal irrigation system after my asthma flared up due to post nasal drip and sinusitis. I've used it 3 times so far and for the first time in months I can breathe out of both nostrils. I've heard it can be good as a daily cleaner to get pollen out of your nose. This is the one I bought.

I really hope somebody can shed some insight into this. Neti pot's are good , but you can buy machines that are much more effective for about 100 dollars.

Definitely check that out. Also here is a really weird trick but I promise you that it works. Take a deep breath and hold it. Close your mouth, plug your nose and take thirty steps in any direction. After you finish the thirty steps, Sit down and sit erectly. Your nose will be clear.

I actually bought this crazy thing, but keep forgetting to use it; http://www.amazon.com/SinuPulse-Elite-Advanced-Irrigation-System/dp/B001CWT4JI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393883396&sr=8-1&keywords=sinus+irrigation
