After i irrigate my sinuses with ocean complete, my nose sometimes feels more stuffy than before i irrigated. why? am i doing something wrong?

Stuffy nose: Using nasal irrigation can be helpful but when used regularly over a longer period of time it can actually perpetuate the sinus symptoms. Nasal mucous has important immune substances. With nasal irrigation you wash out the good mucous as well as the bad. You should stop the irrigation for a time and then use it only in moderation and not frequently.
