I use a device as a netti-pot (not as often as I should), and it works quite well.
I got it on Ebay (new) and it is not unlike a waterpick type device. the price seemed a little like a splurge but maybe "some" insurances will cover it?? For sure, section 125 (flex spending plans will, with a Drs note, I was reimbursed from my medical savings plan for it)
Mine has two different main modes.
1) is a nasal irrigator, with both a mist and a stream nozzle. It jets salt water into the nasal passages and helps reduce the incidence and duration of colds related to the sinuses.
Second is an ORAL stream and a hydrating mist nozzles. Very effective. I used biotene products in it and it works well for basic mositurizing, cleaning, etc
It's called Sinupulse and a quick google search will tell you A TON about it...
