Product Review: Alkalol Nasal Wash

Rarely do I get as excited about any product, particularly a nasal wash, as I am today about Alkalol.  Kirby started using it years ago on the recommendation of his doctor once he started suffering from allergies upon moving to Tennessee.  He hadn't used it in quite some time because it's not readily available in most stores and has to be ordered through the pharmacy, and he just got out of the habit of doing so, but he did regularly mention needing to start using it again.

After our last bought with sinus infections back in October he asked that I order some, and since I had been in touch with Cat on a regular basis because we were working on her car I asked her to order some at work.  He began using it daily.  I avoided it because it smelled just awful--not like something I wanted up my nose--and it also has pine and cinnamon as ingredients, which are two things that can trigger my migraine headaches.

Last month I started waking up with sinus headaches, which had never been a problem for me before.  Medicine didn't help, and the saline solution I typically used in my Neti pot only provided mild relief.  One Saturday morning I was in excruciating pain from a sinus headache and decided to give the Alkalol a shot.  I was desperate.  The initial sensation was not pleasant and I thought the headache had subsided only because my sinuses were burning so badly that it overwhelmed the headache pain.  Within 15 minutes, though, the burning was gone, my sinuses were open and the headache was eliminated!

I began using the Alkalol in my Neti pot every morning and occasionally before bed.  Since starting that routine I've drastically reduced my use of other medications and nasal sprays and have had no more infections.  Until yesterday.  Without the usual warning signs I woke up Saturday morning with a raging sinus infection.  I felt generally sick, was completely congested, my glands were swollen, my throat hurt, I was achy.  I went straight to the Alkalol and thought, "This will be the test here."  I used it 4 times yesterday at an increased strength and by the end of the day I was feeling mostly better, but my ears still hurt which indicated that I was still going to develop a sinus infection eventually.

I woke up this morning and while I didn't feel sick, I was still congested, my throat hurt and my ears were still killing me.  I went straight to the Alkalol again and just an hour later all of the remaining symptoms had vanished!  My nose is still running like crazy, but that's a good thing.  It appears, for now anyway, that the Alkalol actually cured a full-fledged sinus infection in 24 hours.  Even the strongest antibiotics I've been prescribed in the past took at least two to three days to get me to the point that I feel like now.  I'm totally sold on this stuff and highly recommend to anyone who suffers from allergies or general sinus problems.  It's a miracle drug!
