I second using the pot. You need mouth breath when you do it so you can't inhale the mixture. It runs in one nostril & out the other. Never force it - my MD says trying to force it through a stuffed nostril can push the matter further back into the sinus cavity. I find cleaning out the nostril with a q-tip clears it enough that the water will flow more easily.

My biggest problem is I periodically get a polyp in just 1 nostril and it must be removed. I sure hope they've found a way to remove it with a laser, because I just dread lying there while they scrape it out with a knife. Not enough drugs around to make me relax during the procedure.
