Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 I've observed a few posts on nasal problems. I used to use a saline solution with a neti pot (which I purchased at my health food store- it just makes it easier as it has a long spout and is easy to hold in your hand while dangling your head over the sink- I highly recommend getting one- it beats what I used to do which was filling the sink with water, adding salt, closing one nostril, submerging my face and inhaling!). The instructions with my pot came with this excellent suggestion. If you find salt irritating, use 1/4 tsp of baking soda. It is wonderful, absolutely pain free for me. I do it twice a day.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 Sat nam, Whenever I need to irrigate my sinuses, I would use a glass of water, close off one nostril, inhale the water through the other, then drain both nostrils over the sink.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 The way I learned it. I fill the neti pot with body temp or slighly warmer filtered water with just a little salt. You want to approximate your own body's salinity level. I swat in the bathtub and begin pouring with my head tilted to one side. I hold the neti pot with an open hand. When the water has finished pouring I block off the nostril that the water was going into and blow out any residual water with several strong exhalations through the open nostril. Then I switch side and repeat the whole precedure.
