SinuPulse Elite Nasal/Sinus Standard Irrigator Tip

Bought this spare tip for my husband who started using my irrigator when he got a cold last year. Great machine and great service with the spare parts.

this works very well with my waterpik and really helps with painfull sinuses

Salt water is the best thing for your oral and sinus passages. It kills bacteria and soothes the tissue. With this device and a warm salt water solution you can flush out your sinus cavities to relieve sinus pain and allergic irratants. It sounds a little weird...but flushing out your nose with this device really works. I've suffered with allergies for years and get occasional sinus infections. With this device attached to a waterpik it relieves the pressure and soothes the nasal passages. Just don't turn up the pressure to high or inhale!

I still haven't quite worked out the details of using this thing without nearly throwing up, but damned if it doesn't do exactly what it's supposed to do!

Purchased this to work with my waterpik to avoid too many appliances on the bathroom counter. (Models of compatible Waterpiks are listed in fine print on this ad.) Works fantastic; just set Waterpik on “lowest setting” to use it for cleaning nasal passages/sinus. Saline solution recipes are available online; basically use 2/3 teaspoon non-iodized salt plus 1/3 teaspoon baking soda to 1 cup (8 Oz) warm distilled (or previously boiled) water. Make use to clean Waterpik after using it with saline solution by running clean water through Waterpik afterward. (Helpful hint: I use this attachment with the small tank that came with my inexpensive “professional” Waterpik model and homemade saline solution noted previously. When done, I rinse the tank and use pure tap water with the normal Waterpik tip to water floss around my teeth and gums, which also cleans the saline solution out of the Waterpik at the same time.)

Nasal irrigation (washing out your sinuses) is one of the healthiest things you can do for your human body. If you work construction, paint for a living, work in dusty conditions or around smoke, this process will help you breathe easier and combat germs and irritation in the nasal passages. You'll be able to smell things, flavor, scents, and your girl a whole lot better! Besides, it helps your body to keep the bad germs at bay. Of course, you'll also need an electric Water Pik, to which you will have to attach the sinus irrigator. You're not going to drown in the process. Most people have an alternate passage in the nose wall (hardcore cocaine users only have one hole). while you irrigate one nostril, the solution will pass through to the other side or the sinus wall, and down your nostril into the sink. For best results, alternate nostrils while doing the flush. I'd recommend using lukewarm water to fill the Water Pik tub, and for first time users, add a tablespoon of baking powder into the solution, and flush with that. Some people use table salt (teaspoon instead of tablespoon) while they get used to the process. regular cleaning helps. Some steady users may switch to Alkolol, but keep it at a minimal dose until you get used to that product. What you DON'T want to do is try to blow your nose HARD after the irrigation, as this can backup fluids into your ear canal

I use the Irrigation every day with this tip. The first one plugged up so I am careful to run warm water thru it. after each use. This is the 2nd one I have ordered as they get plugged up
