I use a 10 percent solution no mixed with anything. I lie in my back with my head leaning over the edge of the bed and use a small amount in a nasal tin even bottle. Just fill up each nostril, pinch the nostrils and lean a bit from side to side. Then gently blow out into a towel. It does burn a bit at first but that gets better each time you use it. It immediately unclog my nose and lasts all day. I just do it once a day for 3 days if allergies bad and 7 days if active infection. It has changed my life and no nose bleeds!

I use it straight. If I feel congested I will use for a couple of days till it clears up!
