AYR Allergy & Sinus Hypertonic Saline Nasal Mist, White, 1.69 Fl Oz

I never ever thought something like this could help me stay healthier, plus be so easy to use. I have purchased a Neti pot on two different occasions, but I couldn't bring myself to open either package. The thought of having to buy special water, wash the pot, clean the sink, etc. seemed like it would add so much more time and responsibilities to my already super-busy days, so I returned both of my purchases without even trying them. I need more convenience and less responsibilities. Then my daughter suggested a nasal mist and that's when I saw this product on amazon.com. I use it almost every day and when I feel a sore throat or sensitive ear or stuffed up nose, aches and pains, etc, I diligently start using it (off and on all day long and oh-my-gosh I have not gotten sick at all where I used to get sick every few days and sometimes that would go into a long recuperation (3 or 4 weeks or longer) with no energy, feverish, and horrible aches & pains. To be totally honest, I don't use the product as directed. Instead I tilt my head back, spray the product, bring my head back up before sniffing it into my nose. When I sniff with my head back, it's not a good experience. I'm like that with all nose sprays, not just this one. I also spray several times (head back, spray, head up, sniff) when I use it, starting with just a little bit, then progressing to several full sprays. That way, I get used to feeling and tasting the saline solution and it's not bad at all. I used to use it every morning and night, but my nose, sinuses, and ears are so much better, I just use it when I think of it...maybe every 3 days or so. The fantastic news is that I do not get colds, flu-like symptoms, etc since I started using this. I haven't been sick in almost a year now and it's wonderful! PS This hypertonic mist works better for me than any of the other Ayr mists. I don't like the taste of some and others don't seem to work.

I have suffered from Patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction for a while, and recently it’s gotten worse. After researching possible solutions for relief I came across hypertonic nasal drops. I have used this for 3 days now. As soon as I use these drops my ear closes and stays closed the entire day. There is a specific way you have to administer these drops so it closes the Eustachian tube but there are videos on you tube that show you. Basically you lie down and tilt your head 45 degrees towards the ear that is open and administer in the nostril of the same side and wait for 2-3 minutes. You can actually feel a little popping when it closes. So far it’s stayed closed all day after doing this. So happy I found this and it works so well for what I need.

Works great at reducing or thinning congestion in sinus/nasal areas.

GOOD

Works great for my husband's allergy and drippy nose.

Stopped a runny nose

I used to buy the canned saline sprays and got used to how gentle they were. So when I tried this, it seemed terribly harsh. But the nastiness is worth it. To me, the results are better than the canned. I gently - barely -insert this bottle tip inside the nostril and point it toward the outer side of that nostril. I squeeze the bottle and lightly sniff to draw it in. I repeat this a few times on each side. I can feel it cleaning my sinuses, eustachian tube area, and even down the back of my throat. Then I gently blow my nose a couple times. I use this after exposure to someone sick or when I feel myself "sniffing" too much and therefore, making my ear sore. I think it has helped me stay healthier, helped prevent problems from eustachian tube dysfunction (I used to use a steroid nasal spray for that), and - this is gross - but it's even flushed out tonsil stones I didn't know I had.

It works

I just have to say this has changed my life, I use a cpap and every day I woke up with a runny nose and sneezing all day slowly I got a pain in my nose not up in my nose but just inside on the inside on the wall of my nose, the pain got so bad that I couldn’t sleep with my nose pillows any more, the pressure was turned down which helped the pain but I still had the runny nose and sneezing until I found this stuff, for the first time in years I am managing to keep my cpap on all night and I’m waking up feeling better than ever, I can’t recommend this stuff enough, it’s saved my life
