A woman has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a video of herself trying to flush out her sinuses, but it doesn’t quite go to plan.

Jillian Gottlieb, an actor from New York City, attempted to use a Navage machine that “flushes” out your sinuses and clears them of mucus, allergens, and germs.

But what should have been refreshingly clean, left Jillian panicked and wondering if there was salt on her brain from the treatment.

In the clip, which has racked up 8.7 million views and over 200,000 likes, she holds the machine up to her nose, looking rather concerned.

As she attempts to push the button which activates the water pressure, the panic on her face continues to grow.

In the background, the person filming reassures: “Just breathe through your mouth, breathe through your mouth, press it [the button] harder.”

After using the machine, a frantic Jillian leans over her sink with a tissue saying: “I can feel it in my brain, there’s salt in my brain!”

“Is my brain OK?”

Many viewers were left sympathising with her, with some claiming they had tried the machine themselves and also didn’t enjoy it.

One person said: “This thing didn’t work great for me. I felt like I was getting waterboarded with salt water.”

“I feel like some body parts just shouldn’t be messed with,” said someone else.

Another person added: “Worst purchase ever...damn thing almost drowned me every attempt to use it.”

“I tried this and felt like I was being waterboarded,” someone else said.

Another person wrote: “I can feel her pain in the brains. It's real.”

However, some were quick to offer their advice to Jillian on how she should use the machine.

“Put your tongue to the top of your mouth and breathe out of your mouth. Practice that before starting the Navage. It changed everything for me!” one person said.

Someone else said: “Try signing/humming! A wonderful allergy doctor told me to hum so it won’t go down my throat.”

“This is the most fantastic device ever once you get it tweaked the right way with temp. Phenomenal results for me”, said someone else.

Jillian had been hoping for a simple clean-up job before using it.

“I ordered it from Amazon and it’s supposed to flush out allergens, mucus, dust and germs,” she told NeedToKnow.online.

“I was scared to use it.

“I don’t think it worked and I felt like I was drowning.

“Afterwards I didn’t feel great either.”

Jam Press has contacted Navage for comment.
