Nasal saline irrigation has been shown to be a beneficial therapy in the treatment and prevention of sinus infections and allergic rhinitis. This non-pharmacologic therapy involves rinsing the nasal passages with a salt-water solution, helping to rid the nose of allergens and thin out mucus.
Ways to Perform Nasal and Sinus Saline Rinses. The two most common ways to perform nasal saline rinses are with a gravity driven device, such as a Neti Pot, or with a pressure driven device, such as a squeeze bottle. A nasal bulb syringe can also be used. Types of Nasal and Sinus Saline Rinses: Commercial and Homemade. Various nasal saline rinse kits are available commercially, including the Sinus Rinse brand, which contains pre-mixed salt packages. Alternatively, a home-made salt-water mixture can be made and used in a Neti pot, squeeze bottle, or nasal bulb syringe.
