Doesn’t frequent cleaning of sinuses cause irritation? I believe healthy sinuses should be mostly self cleaning. Of course if you have some long-term condition then it’s different
I don’t have any irritation, but I’m a big robust guy, so perhaps milage may vary.
And sure, I would assume that the sinuses are self-cleaning to an extent, but they are also designed to be a filter to keep junk out of our lungs. The way I see it, I’m just cleaning the filter out before I go to bed.
I too feel like there is like one or more reasons some people say to not use them (I haven’t used one myself). Though I think that one thing is that if you don’t clean the pot very thoroughly, it might cause some bad infections. But that would be true of anything like that since bacteria can thrive on warm moist devices that come into contact with our bodies (and from the buildup that you would be trying to clear).

I am fairly certain there is a reason you shouldn’t do that. Are you using just warm water?
