saline nasal irrigation

Saline nasal irrigation is a technique that involves flushing the nasal passages with a saltwater solution to help clear mucus, allergens, and irritants. Using a device like a neti pot or squeeze bottle, you gently introduce the saltwater into one nostril, allowing it to flow through the nasal cavity and out the other nostril or mouth. This process can reduce congestion, improve breathing, and alleviate symptoms of sinusitis or allergies. It’s a safe, non-medication approach when done with properly prepared saline solutions and clean equipment.
