Really amazed with how well this works. I have been using an alternative method, just out of convenience of what materials I have.
I have had a sinus head cold. My left nostril has been completely clogged, sneezing, and my head felt very stuffy.
I give a tobacco snuff nasal spray up each sinus, have a line already prepped of 3 tiny snuff spoons worth of tobacco powder as a base, and 2 of garlic powder, and 1 of cayenne; made into a fine line on a glass cutting board with a razor. After the spray I take a cut straw n sniff a tiny bit up each nostril, alternating sides until it starts to become uncomfortable. I do a hot neti pot rinse, sniff some more, and then do a cold neti pot rinse.
This twice a day has kept my head clear and me breathing at 100%. When normally I'd be totally clogged on the one side.
Ahh feels great! cheers
