What
is Pulsatile Nasal Irrigation?
|
Pulsatile
irrigation uses saline - just water & salt - to cleanse the
nose. Nothing else enters the body. Your grandparents may have
used this technique -basically snorting salt water - to cleanse
their nasal passages; it has been used by many cultures and
peoples including Indian yogis. This ancient ritual is made more
effective by adding the benefits of pulsation for improved
cleansing, and by using Breathe·EaseXL,
an advanced, additive-free Locke-Ringers type solution clinically
proven to give better results.

How
is The Original Sinus Irrigator™ Different? Why not use
a pot with a spout, or some other, similar treatment?
|
The
Original Sinus Irrigator™ uses a pulsating stream to
gently move nasal cilia to and fro at their natural, healthy rate
of motion - the way the cilia normally protect your sinuses
against foreign bodies. No other method does this. It has been
shown, in dozens of journal articles, that The Original Sinus
Irrigator™ not only makes you feel clear and makes your
breathing easy, it measurably improves the health and function of
your cilia -it does much more than just treat symptoms or clean
your nose out for the moment. Healthy cilia are the most important
element in fighting contagions and infections in the sinuses.
Many
other methods of irrigating or washing your sinuses are available,
but none have all the features of The Original Sinus Irrigator™.
The Netti pot, for example, doesn't pulsate, and the flow is not
controlled. Some patients feel put off by the need to put one's
head in a "scrunch position" to use this method, which
causes the solution to splash on your face and sleeves. The rate
of flow is insufficient to properly cleanse the sinus cavities,
and most important, there is no pulsing action to restore cilia. A
pulsating stream is also much more effective for removing debris,
bacteria and crusts. With The Original Sinus Irrigator™, a
special tip adjusts the pressure and pulse rate to be so gentle
that even 5 year olds adapt well to irrigation, and can do it by
themselves.

painful?

Used
as directed, with Breathe·EaseXL
solution, there is no pain or discomfort of any kind while
cleansing your sinuses. The solution is warm and soothing; it is
nothing like unpleasant experiences you may have had when you got
water up your nose by accident. Warm and soothing while you
irrigate, then clear and healthy for satisfying relief when you
are done.

Is
The Original Sinus Irrigator™ difficult, inconvenient,
or messy to use?
|
The
Original Sinus Irrigator™ takes just a minute to use. One scoop
of Breathe·EaseXL in one basin of
water prepares your solution in an instant. The Original Sinus
Irrigator™ does all the work to set up the pulsating stream to
invigorate your cilia, and assures a regulated flow and a tight
seal against your nose. Just lean over the sink, and the solution
goes into the sink, not on
you.
