The next thing you might even become familiar with the equipment is. They can seem a bit strange. An example is the neti pot. This is a ceramic teapot used to rinse the nasal cavities by pouring saline into the upper nostril while the water flows into the bottom of your nostril. Surprising and strange, but yes, the teapot is nasal irrigation device.
Pear nasal
A nasal bulb is another device that is used to clean the nasal passages. It looks like a squeeze bottle with small bulbs as a tip. As the neti pot, saline solution is poured inside the bottle and serves as a tool for cleaning the nose and sinuses.
Nasal Spray
Nasal spray the other uses another type of squeeze bottle, unlike the pear has a point, this course has a spray. Thus, irrigation is happening in the form of a mist of solution filtered by an applicator. Same with the neti pot and pear, the process is to apply it to force the mist into the nostrils and the inside of your face. It also uses a saline function, but those available commercially come with a solution that integrates decongestant and moisturizing.
In these processes, whether neti pot pear, or nasal spray, saline solution is a basic substance necessary to pour into the container. There is a saline sinus rinse solution available in pharmacies and home salt water solution can be prepared by mixing the following ingredients:
- ¼ c. tsp non-iodized salt
- C. ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 ounces of warm distilled water
To begin the process of irrigation, tilt your head down with the neti pot or bulb placed in the nostril one, leaving the solution flow from the nostril above the bottom of the nostrils. Remember to breathe through the mouth or saying "ah". The solution should flow out of the left nostril and should not be allowed to go in the throat. Blow your nose very gently until the rest of the solution was allowed to leave. Repeat the process with the other nostril.
As is natural, this method mechanically washes away the particles accumulated in his nose, so you get this feeling of relief, right after the process.
