I have hopes the home-made salt mix will be as good. It will sure be a lot cheaper! I started using the squirt bottle method and used up the little packets of salt.

I no longer wake up congested and I sleep better, as well. I’ve been using a hepa air purifier that I purchased 2 years ago and it has done wonders at home.

Yes, by all means if there is too much salt, it's smart to back off on it. I find at different times of year more or less salt is tolerated. Maru, sounds like you have a chemistry background.

I use NeilMed's 8 oz. bottle (240 mL). When I weighed 1/2 tsp salt, it came up to 3.9 g. That's way too hypertonic for me (it stung). Physiological saline is 0.85% NaCl. For a 240-mL solution, that's only 2.04 g. I now pre-weigh my NaCl and NaHCO3 (baking soda; sodium bicarbonate) into several small sachets - ready for pouring into my bottle. It beats paying $18 for 100 sachets of merely salt and baking soda. And guys, the baking soda is only for pH buffering. 1/2 tsp salt is too much for me. I use NeilMed’s 8 oz. bottle (240 mL).

I would seriously stop using it. At least check it out on the web and see if I'm right. Thanks. Jean-Louis: Vaseline is a petroleum product, and is extremely bad for the membranes in your nose.

I had never heard of it. Your recipe is just a little too salty for me, though. I'd recommend to people out there who are getting that "swimming pool" sensation to experiment with the salt. Add or remove. We're all a little different. Man, thank you for posting this! I had never heard of it. Your recipe is just a little too salty for me, though.

Hadn't heard of a lot of them. I'll probably just stick with the Neti, until the day comes, if it comes where it doesn't work anymore. A lot of new stuff here. Hadn’t heard of a lot of them.
