Simply Saline Extra Strength Nasal Mist 1.5 oz

I cannot live without this product. I use it all year and practically every day. Great for allergy sufferers and whenever you feel congested. It's just saline and salt and thus there aren't any negative side effects from long term usage. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is not the 0.9% (isotonic) version of Simply Saline. It is a stronger hypertonic mixture which contains a higher concentration of sodium chloride. Hence the stinging. They have changed their packaging which makes it more difficult to distinguish between the two strengths. They have also removed the wording on the labels that details the actual percentage of sodium chloride used within. I think this causes confusion to have two different products in such similar packaging. This hypertonic solution has a dark blue banner at the bottom of the can and says "Allergy & Sinus Relief". The one that doesn't sting, the isotonic 0.9% version has a light blue banner (was previously red) that says "Nasal Relief". I wish they would bring back the old packaging. It was much easier to distinguish between the two. Anyway, I couldn't get by without this product. The hypertonic mixture is the only thing I've found that keeps my sinuses healthy and me out of the doctor's office!
