What you are trying to do with SinusCleanser is create the same effect as flushing out your sinuses while swimming in the ocean. You want the SinusCleanser to penetrate deeply into the sinus cavities, which extend above the eyebrows and sideways below the eyes.

One customer, Dr. Bette Johnson, discovered a simple and effective technique for using the Sinus Cleanser. Lay flat on your back (on a bed, couch, or the floor) with your head tilted back. Insert the Sinus Cleanser bottle into your nostril opening. Slowly squeeze the Sinus Cleanser bottle into the open sinuses while sniffing to bring the solution up into your sinus passages. Apply the Sinus Cleanser to the other nostril. Close off your nose with your thumb and forefinger. Keep the Sinus Cleanser solution in the nose for 30 to 60 seconds, if possible, before getting up to expel the ingredients into the sink. Repeat this cleansing procedure if you are having considerable sinus congestion. Once again, since there will be drainage after this cleansing, it is best to do this procedure before getting into the shower.

Another technique is to bend your head over the sink, squeeze the SinusCleanser bottle up into the sinus passages, making sure that you do not get the solution into the lungs. Hold the solution in the sinuses for a few seconds, then expel and gently blow your nose. If symptoms of sinus congestion are severe, then do this cleansing morning and evening until symptoms subside. Once you get your symptoms under control, use the SinusCleanser once daily before getting into the shower.
