sinus packets

Most sinus packets are dry powder mixes whose primary ingredient is sodium chloride (salt). Some premixed packets also contain sodium bicarbonate to help buffer the solution.

Dissolve one powder packet into lukewarm filtered, distilled, sterile, or previously boiled water until fully dissolved. Use the resulting solution with a nasal wash device (for example a neti pot or squeeze bottle) to rinse your nasal passages.

Labeling varies by product. Some saline packet labels list use for children 4 years and older, while others specify 10 years and older.

Common pack sizes are 50-count and 100-count packets.

Packet saline is intended for use with common nasal wash devices such as neti pots and squeeze‑bottle rinse systems: dissolve the packet into the recommended water, then use the solution with your chosen device.

Users commonly report relief from nasal congestion and sinus pressure, improved breathing, and reduced sinus headaches. Many reviewers note noticeable improvement after one or a few rinses.

Labels instruct mixing packets with lukewarm filtered, distilled, sterile, or previously boiled water before using the solution to rinse the nose.
