Tips on nasal irrigation:

Use distilled water. Do NOT use regular tap water or water from the shower to irrigate. You don't want bacteria or amoebas in your sinuses as this is a direct line to your brain.

Use the proper saline solution, designed for this (the aforementioned packets dissolved in the correct ratio of distilled water). Do NOT use straight water, it hurts, a lot.

I have the Nevage nasal irrigator machine and it's amazing. If you have an FSA card (in the States) you can use that to pay for it. Works wonders if you use it regularly.

Boiling tap or bottled water and letting it cool before use works just as well if you don't have distilled water.
