If you want to boost the effectiveness I’ve found a few drops op goldenseal extract also helps. It contains Berberine which is a mild antibacterial.

I never had that problem with a neti pot since gravity can't apply as much pressure. So you're forced to be patient when it's especially blocked up.
You DO need the powder, though; otherwise the water burns like hell.
