EPOTHEX Saline Nasal Spray with Iota Carrageenan | Powerful Moisturizing Nasal Cleanser | Helps Prevent Dry Sinuses | Long Lasting | 30 ml

Living in Houston means dealing with constant changes in weather, wind, pollen, dust, and everything else that seems to end up in the air. This saline nasal spray has helped me out a lot, especially on days when my nose feels irritated or congested after being outside. I like that the spray is simple and convenient to use. It gives my nasal passages a clean, refreshed feeling without being harsh or uncomfortable. I’ve found myself reaching for it more often when the pollen is high, the wind picks up, or Houston decides to change seasons three times in the same week. What I appreciate most is that it fits easily into my routine and actually provides noticeable relief for me. The bottle is also compact enough to keep nearby when I need it. Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience with it and would definitely continue using it. Five stars from me.

Didn’t get sick when everyone else was. And I’m around a ton of people at work regularly.

I'm the only one in my house who doesn't get sick all the time thanks to this spray. Despite trying to convince family members it works, they would rather be sick than feel a brief sting in their nose. Their loss, but the good thing is that I run an experiment with a control group all the time. I use it, I don't get sick. They don't use it, they get sick. Enough said. The key is to use it at least 3+ times per day for it to be effective. An occasional spray or two won't cut it, unless perfectly timed for a brief high risk scenario. There's some data behind this active ingredient, although I don't know if it's the iota carrageenan or the combo with alcohol together that together works. But I've bought this over 5 times and it's gotten me through two tough seasons so far. Whenever I do sometimes come down with something it's usually mild if I'm using this. The only downside--this will give me a headache if I use it too much as it irritates my sinuses after a while. So I just do one spray a day for maintenance and take some days off, only ramping up to 3X per day if I'm around sick people or someone in the house comes down with something. Overall, it's not like wearing a hazmat suit and you still have to wash hands, avoid touching your eyes, and other good practices to avoid germs. But it's a good tool in my toolbox to avoid colds.

Works great, bought it after I used a similar product I found while traveling in the UK. It stings the first few times until you get used to it. Really helps open up the sinuses.

I've used many nasal sprays and was excited about this one because it's less expensive than others and easily available on Amazon. BUT, two major things about it: 1. It stings very badly when it goes in the nose, for about 10 seconds. It's like eating a bunch of wasabi. 2. It smells terrible. Like a porta potty puck. When you're putting something up your nose, you don't want it to smell so bad! However, it totally works- even helped my throat feel better. I’ll be stocking up.
