Rinsing the nasal passages with saline solution is an ancient technique that has been used for centuries, all over the world.

No. Please allow it to naturally air dry so the beneficial bacteria and enzymes have time to work all the way to the backing of the carpet.

Unlike some nasal irrigation products, ALKALOL contains no antihistamine, preservatives, or other chemicals that can irritate and damage tender mucous membranes in the nasal passages. Instead, since it was originally formulated in 1896, ALKALOL has been made with soothing natural ingredients, including eucalyptol, thymol, menthol, camphor, and oils of wintergreen, spearmint, pine and cinnamon.

Several types of salt may be used; table salt, kosher salt, and sea salt are very common. We also offer a very fine granulated salt on our site that is preservative free and contains no additives or anti-caking components, which can cause irritation or burning. It is a very clean salt that is preferred by many of our patrons. Special saline solutions are not necessary as we provide you with the 1/4 measure to create a precise solution in your Narial Nasal Cup?.

Saline solution can be used for either soft lenses or gas permeable lenses and it is used to rinse off any loose particles of debris or dirt after cleaning. Saline solution also helps to aid insertion in the morning. Two other functions of saline solution include, rinsing lens cases and diluting enzymatic cleaner tablets.

Sea salt is preferred and is available from most grociers. Mix one teaspoonful with about 4 to 8 ounces of warm water. Soak a couple of thin sections of natural sponge or paper napkins in this solution. Wrap around the copper paddles or place under the metal of the wristbands. Included with your ParaZapper is a small package of sea salt and two half paper towels to try this.

A salt mixture which is also very suitable for nasal rinsing consists of two kinds of salt: common salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate or bicarbonate of soda, NaHCO3). Baking soda buffers the rinsing solution, i. e. it keeps the pH value (degree of acidity) constant at the desired alkaline strength of approx. 8. In human blood, sodium hydrogen carbonate shows the second highest salt concentration after sodium chloride.

A hypertonic saline solution buffered with baking soda is more agreeable for nasal rinsing than if it is unbuffered. It supports the cleansing function of the nasal mucous membrane, i. e. the mucociliary clearance which is the mucus transport system. For a very mild, buffered hypertonic rinsing solution you put one, or one heaped measuring spoonful of salt per rinsing pot filling into the nasal rinsing pot and then add about half a measuring spoonful of baking soda.

The saline drops don't pulse the cilia back to normal, don't flow past the sinus openings to displace the pus and may contain preservatives that irritate the nose.

Saline water has a relatively high concentration of dissolved salts. Salt is not just "salt" as we know it - sodium chloride (NaCl) - but can be dissolved calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) sulfate (S042-), bicarbonate (HC03-) and Boron (B).

If you warm the saline solution in the nasal rinsing pot in the microwave it becomes much hotter in the spout than in other parts of the pot, and you may scald your nose. Therefore it is safer to warm the water to the right lukewarm temperature before you pour it into the nasal rinsing pot.

Some rinsing solution might run unexpectedly out of your nose sometime after nasal rinsing. Responsible for this is the individual anatomical nature of the main nasal cavity and its connection with the maxillary sinus. In this case it may help you to dry your nasal mucous membrane after nasal rinsing (see below). In this way you can prevent any liquid from running out later on. If some rinsing solution does run unexpectedly out of your nose, just blow your nose cautiously.

Nasal irrigation has been recommended by medical practitioners in this country for over 100 years and has been used in some other countries for over 5000 years! If your child is old enough to cooperate in the use of nasal irrigation and it is used correctly, there is no danger. We recommend the plastic version of the Narial Nasal Cup? neti pot for children because it is unbreakable and the spout is slightly smaller and may be a more comfortable fit for a child's nostrils.
