How can I make my own isotonic saline solution buffered with baking soda?

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.

How much salt and baking soda are necessary for making a buffered hypertonic saline solution?

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.

Can I use the microwave for warming the solution in the nasal rinsing pot?

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.

What can I do so that the rinsing solution does not run out of my nose sometime after nasal rinsing?

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.

What is the difference between Simple Solution and Nature's Miracle™?

SimpleSolution
Simple Solution combines advanced cleaners with beneficial bacteria and enzymes that digest the source of odor and stain causing residue. Nature's Miracle is an enzyme only product and lacks the essential technology of beneficial bacteria to remove the waste completely from the carpet. In Simple Solution, the bacteria eat the residue broken up by the enzymes. The by-product of this process is carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide and water are odorless and will evaporate in drying time.
