Alkalol - A Natural Soothing Nasal Wash Mucus Solvent and Cleaner Kit

I have chronic sinus and allergy issues, so any relief goes a long way. I use Alkalol with my sinus rinse irrigation bottle and this combination has given me that small relief that makes the biggest difference. It's not a cure-all by any means, but being all-natural I don't feel hesitant to use it as often as I want when I'm going through an episode.

Its Excellenint Effective for All Sinus Problems

This is a great product. If one has any kind of sinus condition, I find it indispensable. If one has an infection it burns for a few seconds at first. As the infection diminishes, the burning stops. I cant recommend it highly enough. Best solution I’ve ever used.

I have been a chronic sinusitis sufferer for decades. I finally had a corrective surgery done back in 2009 and had very little problems or recurring Sinus Infections until June of 2012. Then I was back to back Sinus Infections from June of 2012 until the first week of October of 2012. I was pretty much sick the entire time and absolutely miserable. I returned to my specialist, Dr. Hung, for relief since he fixed me up so well with the surgery. Apparently I had Polyps that were induced by the chronic sinus infections and the only way to get rid of them was to either treat aggressively with Steroids, Anti-Biotic and multiple Sinus Washes a day or try step 1 followed by another surgery. My goal was to control the swelling and remediate my symptoms without the need for surgery. I was desperate for relief and Dr. Hung even recommended a 1/2 teaspoon of baby shampoo in the sinus wash to getter better results by adding emulsification to the mix. While that helped it was horrible and I hated it. I got on the web and started searching. I came across this product and a few others. Out of all the ones I have tried nothing has offered me as much relief as this product when combined a 2X Strength Hypertonic Solution. By following My Dr.'s Recommendations and incorporating this into my routine I have managed to achieve in 3 weeks what we could not achieve in almost 4 months of treatments. My sinus swelling has returned to normal, The Polyps completely shrank allowing for the remnants to be removed as part of a normal office visit without a surgery. My breathing is back to normal and I am down to 1 Sinus wash per day. No More Anti-Biotic and no more steroids. I am feeling great and breathing perfectly and it has been 4 weeks straight without a problem. Prior to this I haven't gone more than 3 days without the Sinus infection returning full force as soon as I finished a run of an anti-biotic. The Alkalol Product is actually a pretty simple product and it's ingredient's just make sense if you are familiar with things like essential oils. Menthol; Eucalyptol; Thymol; Camphor; Benzoin; Oils of Wintergreen, Spearmint, Pine, and Cinnamon; Potassium Alum; Potassium Chlorate; Sodium Bicarbonate; Sodium Chloride; Alcohol (2/100 of 1%) Most of these ingredients are in the Soothing category. They are cooling, reduce itching and reduce irritation and pain. That is one reason this product offers so much relief. Add to that the properties of Camphor, Thymol and Benzoin and Alum and you can see how the additional relief comes into play. Thymol is a product extracted from Thyme which is a Biocide and kills bacteria and has strong anti-microbial properties. Camphor has both Soothing properties and is also an Anti-Microbial. Benzoin has soothing Properties, Anti-Septic and Anti-Microbial properties and assist with preventing excessive drying of skin. You can start to see a pattern here. Now add to all of these very interesting ingredients the Potassium Alum, which is also an anti-septic, inhibits the growth of bacteria and is also a mucolytic agent which helps loosen and clear the mucus from the airways by breaking up the sputum. Without getting gross, All I can say is I got a lot of nasty stuff out of my sinuses using this product along with following my Dr.'s instructions. I am now healthy and happy! So once you look at all of the ingredients in their whole you can see how such a product is able to deliver great relief for those that really suffer from Chronic Sinusitis or allergies. I highly recommend it and it is now a staple in my medicine cabinet. One additional note - I also do not follow their precise instructions for this product nor do I use the little bottle that comes with it. I have an electric sinus wash unit that I am using this with which I also give a lot more credit to my improvements than this product alone. I am using this product with the SinuPulse Elite Advanced Nasal Sinus Irrigation System which I also really like and am amazed at how well it works as well. I don't believe this product made "the" difference in my health. But I believe it was a strong contributor, especially the cooling relief it offered when my sinuses were literally raw and just painful. If was like a cool dry breeze on a day that is too hot and too humid. It was a big giant "ahhhhhhh" at a time when I was just miserable. I highly recommend it.

This stuff is incredible, I mixed it with Tea Tree and sprayed directly into my nose. After about 5 minutes, the mucus begins to loosen and you're free to blow and clear your nose!

This wash is amazing, and I recommend it to anyone who uses neti. I always mix a little in with my normal neti, and it just adds that perfect amount of refreshing awesomeness. A little extra for cold fighting or if your having a very hard time trying to get started in the morning.

If you suffer from chronic allergies any relief goes a long way. I just found Alkalol and it has given me that small relief that makes the biggest difference. I've had all kinds of issues with my sinuses and actually had a deviated septum corrected as well as enlarged inferior turbinates, which have been reduced to about 50% of what they were. This helped a lot in so many ways, but also created a huge issue because many more allergens are able to wreak havoc on my sinuses because they are "normal" now. I breath better but suffer more from allergies all year long, which is almost counter intuitive. I use a Neti Pot and have for a number of years, it really helps. Adding Alkalol to my Neti Pot along with some saline packets has really improved my overal results. Alkalol loosens mucus much better and soothes my sinuses the way afrin does. Alkalol is a great alternative to chemical nasal sprays, especially since recent studies have shown that dependency on chemical nasal sprays can lead to a worsening of overall chronic sinus symptoms. Let's get this straight from the beginning though, that this is not the cure all miracle product that I wish it was, but it has changed my life for the better. I look forward to using this once or twice daily (once in the morning and once an hour or two before bed). I feel a substantial improvement overall. I can breath better and I can go almost the entire day without feeling many of the symptoms a chronic allergy sufferer endures daily. Like most others have stated this is powerful stuff. Find what ratio works best for you. It took me a few times to find what was best for me and to completely adjust to the sensation that is produced when you use Alkalol. After that it's smooth sailing. I do not use the included blue nose piece. I use a NeilMed's Sinus Rinse Bottle filled with water and about 1.2 ounces of Alkalol and one saline packet (half of the bottle on each side/nostril), which has been working great. At two rinses per day I go through 1 bottle of Alkalol per week, at 1 rinse per day it's 1 bottle of Alkalol per 2 weeks. I would say I average about 3 bottles/month. That's around $24/month without side effects. This ends up being cheaper than using prescriptions to counteract your allergy symptoms. Depending on what over the counter drugs you choose it can be less expensive as well. When using prescription or over the counter allergy medication I dry out and tend to get nose bleeds, then there is always the drowsiness that accompanies most allergy meds, even the ones that are "non-drowsy". One of the biggest benefits that I have enjoyed with using Alkalol is no side effects. Now all they need to do is make a 32 ounce and 64 ounce version!
