IT'S SUPPOSED TO COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH !
(you can always rinse your mouth with salt-water thereafter)
the idea is to clean all your nasal cavities completely - it may require several applications before it starts working .
you may have to hold your head first to one side and next to the other while you are squirting PLENTY of the solution into your nose VERY GENTLY - DO NOT FORCE !!!.
do it over the sink and move your head slowly : left - right - left ... you'll get the idea .
it's really not much different than brushing your teeth thoroughly every day - it'll become routine !
BUT DO NOT !!! HOLD YOUR HAD BACK WHEN SQUIRTING !!!
i used to suffer from very nasty sinus-infections before someone put me on the saline solution .
i passed the recipe on to the head of our ENT-clinic at our local hotel-dieu hospital and they now hand a copy to every patient with sinus problems .
i;ll try to find a copy and post it .
i also always have some HYDRASENSE (you'll have to google for it - url did not work) on hand for a quick squirt - particularly when travelling .
make sure you do not add an ear-infection to your troubles !
i use BUROSOL otic solution to prevent any secondary ear-infections .
GOOD LUCK and KEEP SNORTING !!!
