If your sinusitis is not caused by allergies and you have swollen turbinates then I think <a href="http://interneti.co.uk/solutions-for-nasal-irrigation.php#hypertonic">hypertonic solution</a> will probably work better for you. Hypertonic solution is less comfortable than <a href="http://interneti.co.uk/solutions-for-nasal-irrigation.php#isotonic">isotonic</a> but has far greater evidence to support its efficacy.

Nasal irrigation with saline is a great way of addressing many nasal/sinus issues. Regarding isotnic vs. hypertonic, the debate has been going on for years. There are proponents of both. Hypertonic works better because it's saltier and therefore decongests your nasal membranes much more effectively. However, there are studies that show that hypertonic saline immobilizes the cilia of the nasal mucous membranes. Either way, you need to experiment with both and keep using whichever works better…
