For those who don't know, netti/sinus rinse is where you run warm salt water in one nostril and out the other. It sounds awful and takes some time to get used to. Done properly, it doesn't burn because you have the right pH and salinity. It can wash out the pollen and helps you clean the mucus out of your nose.

GneissGuy,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are talking about this:

I use this and it works wonders. All natural and it's great as a preventative measure to keep stuff from building up. A couple of things to know before using:
1. It takes some getting use to as it's more of a salt water "flush" and not a spray. In short, it's kind of like getting hit by a wave in the ocean. That said, it really does work and, again, it's all natural.
2. Do NOT use it if you already have total blockage in one of your sinus cavities. If you do, it won't be able to drain properly and you'll end up with a nasty infection. This comes straight from my alergist.
Anyways, you can buy it at CVS, Walgreens, etc. I got away from using mine and I paid the price. Won't make that mistake again!
