I currently have started regularly using the nasal irrigation (the neilmed bottle with Isotonic solution). I have OSA, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and swollen turbinates. I have found the nasal irrigation has helped. I was wondering if others have found the Hypertonic solution to be better than the Isotonic. I'm trying to attack all issues at once, since they all relate in some way and are difficult to tackle one at a time.
Some relevant info:
Hypertonic Saline Solution

These guys also include xylitol in their rinse:

Note: I also take singulair at night and omnaris (1x spray each nostril morning & night).
So basically I'm asking:
1) What do people think of hypertonic vs. isotonic saline solution?
2) Any thoughts on Xylitol?
Thanks!
