Nasal irrigation is the act of flushing the nasal cavities with saline to help cleanse the mucus and allergens, as well as moisten the nasal cavities and help you breathe more easily. Most people tend to understand that nasal irrigation is necessary only for people with allergies. But in reality, with the current weather conditions, including PM2.5 dust and various types of smoke, nasal irrigation is necessary for people of all ages.

What does nasal irrigation help with?

Nasal irrigation can help relieve chronic cold symptoms or relieve nasal congestion, itching, sneezing, and runny nose. This is because nasal irrigation helps drain thick mucus and cleans the nasal cavity and sinuses. It also has many other benefits, such as:

• Helps reduce the number of germs, pollutants, allergens and substances produced by the body’s reaction to allergens in the nasal cavity or sinuses.
• Helps moisturize the nasal cavity.
• If your doctor prescribes nasal sprays or drops, washing your nose before spraying or dropping the medication will allow the medication to reach the nasal mucosa more and work better.
• Helps relieve irritation and reduce inflammation in the nose.
• Helps reduce the amount of medication used to treat nasal or sinus diseases.

How to wash your nose yourself

1. Equipment required

• Sterile saline solution Sodium Chloride 0.9%
• Syringe size 5-10 cc for children and size 10-20 cc for adults.
• Clean container for saline solution for nasal irrigation
• Other equipment such as water containers, tissue paper, clean glasses

2. How to wash your nose yourself

• Wash your hands and syringe thoroughly.
• Pour the salt water into a clean prepared container.
• Use a syringe to draw about 10-20 ml of saline solution from a clean container, depending on the size of the syringe.
• Lean over the container of water, push the syringe into one nostril, hold your breath, lower your head, and open your mouth.
• Gently inject the saline solution into one nostril. The saline solution will flow into the nasal cavity and out the other nostril.
• Gently blow out any remaining mucus. If some of the saline solution comes out of your mouth, spit it out.
• Wash the other nostril using the same procedure.
• Repeat alternately or until you feel that your breathing is clear and your mucus is gone.

How often should I wash my nose?

Nasal irrigation should be performed when there is thick mucus remaining in the nasal cavity or when there is nasal congestion from inhaling dust, smoke, or allergens into the nose. It is recommended to do this at least twice a day: when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed or before using a nasal spray.
