Rock salt should NOT be used in your Neti Pot. It has several minerals which otherwise good for health, may have an irritating effect on the sinuses.
Salt can get separated from saltwater by putting it into a pot or in the sun and boiling it which will cause the water to evaporate and the salt will be left there.
Salt water is a solution (when one substance is evenly mixed into another liquid [usually water] e.g. sugar water), and to separate a solution is a pot or bowl and a fire or stove. Simply boil the water, wait for it to evaporate and you have salt.
Evaporate the water by exposure to the sun and wind or in a cook pot.
A salt solution is a mixture because if you placed the mixture in a pot and boiled it, all of the would eventually evaporate and you are going to be left with the salt left at the bottom of the pot. A mixture is a substance that can be separated without any chemical means.

The best way is to use a neti pot with distilled water mixed with some salt and bicarbonate. There are several systems available if you do not want to wing it. SinuCleanse is popular.
A Neti Pot (available at drugstores and health food stores) works very well for sinus congestion and allergies. It is a small ceramic container, shaped a bit like an Aladin's lamp, that you use for flushing out the nasal passages. You use a saline (salt and water solution), and it helps flush the congestion and any possible allergens (if you have allergies) away. Or you can use a saline spray, available at any drugstore. It's not quite as effective as the Neti Pot, but it does help, and unlike the Neti Pot, it can be taken with you and used anywhere. Both of these can be used as often as necessary, since they are not medications, and you don't have the worry of overdosing on them. The Neti Pot is about $15, and a bottle of nasal spray is about $1.
