Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Michelle, What I was told to do is to buy one of those torture devices that they use on babies to clear their noses. You know the thing with the squeeze bulb and the little plastic tip on it? Well, use one cup of warm water (distilled, as chlorine causes problems) with 1/4 tsp. of baking soda and 1/4 tsp. of sea salt, celtic is preferred. Draw the solution into the bulb and GENTLY squeeze into one nostril with the head tilted back. When you lean forward, turn your head to the opposite side from the one you irrigated and let the water out while exhaling through the nose. Repeat on the other side and change sides until the water is gone. You'll be amazed at what comes out.
