Did you put salt in the Neti pot along with the water and hydrogen peroxide? If so, how much?Replied By Charles (Los Angeles, CA) on 03/06/2009
No, we didn't use salt with the hydrogen peroxide, but my wife did use a saline solution after the peroxide mix. She's been using it for 3 days now and for the first time ever she gets a steady stream out of both nostrils using her neti pot.I have another question for people - can you use too much hydrogen peroxide? At what point should you just use salt and water?

I tried the hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 cup warm water and 1 capful of the peroxide and I got the worst nose bleeds possible. I do not recommend this. Good thing I didn't do the 50/50!Replied By Honesty (Durham, NC) on 04/21/2009
If your sinuses burn you are using too much peroxide! you should only use about a half a teaspoon per 10 oz of water. you should definitely NOT be putting a 50/50 mixture into your nose. It can and WILL make sinus symptoms worse if you use too much peroxide. Also, I would recommend using about a tsp of salt in the mixture as well.
