      Isotonic is what you’re shooting for. Hyper- or hypotonic will cause discomfort. You can buy saline packets from any pharmacy, mix those with a specified amount of distilled water and you’ll have the correct concentration with minimal extra bits (which you’ll get a lot of with tap water… don’t use tap water).

      Done correctly and applied at roughly the same temp as your body, you’ll barely feel it in your sinuses.
