| I am a practicing physician in the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine. I suffered for several years from chronic sinus disease. After being evaluated by an Allergist and Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist, I had corrective surgeries on my sinuses.

Nasal irrigations are often mentioned as adjunctive measures
in treating many sinonasal conditions. Despite their
widespread use, much mystique and uncertainty exist about
