Sinusitis causes severe pain and discomfort
in a person who has it, especially with changes in weather and an increase in
dust and dirt.
To reduce the severity of these symptoms,
it is recommended to clear the sinuses by rinsing the nose with saline.
What is washing the nose with nasal
solution?
Washing the nose with saline is one of the
most common ways to clean the sinuses, by rinsing them with saline, and this
helps eliminate blockages in the sinus openings and reduce symptoms.
Pre-prepared saline is best purchased, but
it can be made at home by mixing warm, sterile water with a teaspoon of pure
salt, known as sodium chloride, to obtain the solution.
Steps to clean the nose with nasal solution
Here are the steps to clean the nose :
Stand with your head placed over the pelvis
and tilted to one side.
Using a squeeze bottle or a sinus-cleaning
tool, the saline solution is slowly squeezed into the upper nostril.
Allow the solution to pass into the other
nostril from the inside, at which time you should breathe through the mouth,
not through the nose.
Be careful not to get the water behind the
throat.
Gently remove mucus from the nose with a
tissue.
