Yes, irrigation can be helpful but there are some things to consider: Devices with backflow can become contaminated. IN one study, even the patients on antibiotics who were using devices with backflow showed bacterial growth in their bottles. If you are using anything with rubber, rubber easily deteriorates and can affect the nose. It is important to be sure about backflow contamination and presence of rubber in the device. This is why Hydro PUlse contains no rubber or latex and of course there is no backflow. details at www.grossan.com Hi GDC. Yes, irrigation can be helpful but there are some things to consider:

When you have postnasal drip you have slow cilia. Because the mucus blanket moves slowly, bacteria have time to multiply and thicken the normal moisture that you need for health. The reason the Hydro Pulse works is that the rate of pulsation is matched to speed slow cilia. Just as important as the Hydro PUlse is hot tea, lemon and honey and singing low tone "ooooommmm." It is important to get good sleep too. How? Set the sleep clock. Go to bed same time each night. Make bedtime very formal and structured. My book, Free Yourself from Sinus and Allergy Problems-Permanently is in your library and has additional recommendations. what is important to remember in postnasal drip as well as sinus disease is that there are nasal cilia which beat at 14 pulses/ second to move bacteria and allergens out of the nose.

Doesn't sound like much of a party but I can't stress its importance enough! And if things are not getting better, see your doc! Could be chronic sinusitis and then you will likely need either balloon sinuplasty or sinus surgery. Take care and Be Well! I gotta chime in w/ a vote for nasal irrigation! Doesn’t sound like much of a party but I can’t stress its importance enough!

These are important for sinus and post nasal drip patients because they do contain anti-oxidants, thin the mucus and honey is esp valuable for “unsticking” thick mucus. As I point out, if you have breakfast in bed, you usually avoid the AM sneezing and hacking. There is a brand new science now that shows that relaxation and smiling raises your immune factor and reduces inflammation caused by anxiety/depression. As you may recall I use mirror feedback to this effectively.
