nasal lavage

Nasal lavage is a gentle procedure that involves rinsing the nasal passages with a saline solution to remove mucus, allergens, and irritants. Using a specially designed device or neti pot, the saline flows through one nostril and out the other, helping to clear congestion and improve airflow. This process can reduce symptoms of allergies, sinus infections, and colds, promoting better breathing and nasal health. It is safe when done with sterile or distilled water and proper technique, but should be performed carefully to avoid discomfort or infection.
