Nasal Irrigation and Neti Pots?

The potential to heal your sinus allergy/nasal infections/sinusitis is closer than you though!

That would be great!…no more necesity of medicinal nasal sprays and /or nasal surgery…

Just water, salt, and baking soda? Yes, just that!

“Nasal irrigation refers to rinsing the nose and nasal passages with a solution, typically salt water. The solution can be as simple – and cheap – as a quarter-teaspoon of kosher salt, eight ounces of warm tap water and a quarter-teaspoon of baking soda.”

“For most patients, the benefit of nasal irrigation is that it does a great job of treating symptoms that otherwise aren’t well treated with medicine,” she notes. “Nasal irrigation can be considered a first-line treatment for common nasal and sinus symptoms. It’s often more effective than medications.”

For people with mild allergies nasal irrigations alone may be enough to control the symptoms. Others may need to use medications in addition to nasal irrigation.

Recent led a studies have found that saline irrigation is very effective at controlling sinus symptoms, more so than saline sprays experiencing as much improvement as some patients with chronic sinusitis get with sinus surgery.

Nasal irrigation can be used in children with a smaller amount of the solution. As long as the child is old enough to cooperate with the treatment, it’s safe to try nasal irrigation.
