As per Neilmed instructions, I use distilled water for my daughter's sinus rinses...what do you think about that? I am not even really sure why it says to use distilled water over regular water. Maybe I should boil the distilled water before she uses it?

It's always a good idea to boil the heck out of water before using it for neb cleaning or sinus rinses and stuff like that. I would ask your doctor what to do and how long to boil it for. <b>BTW, I try to avoid the vapor from the boiling water just to be on the safe side just in cast the vapor contains pathogens.</b>
