A W asked: I get allergies and colds quite frequently and easily. A friend recommended using a neti pot regularly to clear my sinuses and prevent colds and mucus buildup. Does it really work? How about just rinsing out the nose with some alkalol instead?

You don’t want to use alcohol in your nose, a neti pot does work good. My Dr told me to use it.
I have been using a neti pot for 15-20 years. As bad as it sounds it feels wonderful. Make sure you follow the directions on how much salt to use in the water, too little or too much will burn, you want to keep it the same pH as your body. When I am home I use it up to 4x a day.
It’s wonderful for allergies because it washes out the debris that gets caught in the hair in your nose. The saline is soothing to inflamed tissue.
An alternative is to use a saline nasal spray which I find less effective but I use it when I’m not home.
Alkalol is a product that uses a device similar to a neti pot to rinse the sinuses. I prefer using sea salt and water because its cheap and works fine. The key is to keep the sinuses open, once you are all clogged up it will be difficult to get the solution to flow through the sinuses.
I was just thinking, if you have allergies to begin with, you might just want to stick with saline as opposed to the alkalol since saline is naturally in your body whereas alkolol has added ingredients.
Edit: In my quest for better breathing I just ran across the the Sinupulse Elite, It has great reviews, it’s like a waterpick for your nose haha. I just bought one, I can leave a comment on how it works after it is delivered.
I actually just used it for the first time after finding some people talk about it here and watching some people use it on youtube. At first I was freaked out but it was so easy, just remember to keep breathing through your mouth and to wiggle it around in your nose a little bit to make the water/salt flow through easily. To answer your question, YES it worked. I would have used half a box of tissues by now because of my runny nose but nothing has come out yet. I think the rinse took it all out and stopped more mucous from forming and best of all, I can now breath! It says on the box that it’s temporary so I might have to do this every time it starts acting up again but I’d rather do this than pop zyrtec and do the nasal sprays. I wish I knew about this sooner. I can’t believe my doc never mentioned this. Good luck.
THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me — my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
