A nasal wash may help
clear the nostrils and start the day breathing freely
remove excess mucus
rid nostrils of allergens
cleanse the nasal passages of dust
relieve nasal dryness
dissolve mucus build-up in dry climates
improve the flow of breath before exercise or relaxation


Add a 1/4 teaspoon of non iodized salt to warm water in your neti pot (see water recommendations below)

Lean forward and turn your head to the side.

Insert the spout of the neti pot gently into the upper nostril to create a comfortable seal.

Raise the neti pot gradually so the saline solution flows in through the upper nostril and out the lower nostril. Breathe through your mouth.

Once the solution has flowed through, exhale through your nose to clear the nasal passages.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 with the other nostril.


About the water used in your neti pot:
(click here for source)
’It’s absolutely essential that you use a recommended and safe water source in your neti pot. According to the FDA, these are the only acceptable water options for a neti pot: (15)

Distilled or sterile water (the label will indicate “distilled” or “sterile”), which you can purchase in stores.

Tap water that boiled for at least three to five minutes and then allowed to cool so that it’s lukewarm before use.

Previously boiled water stored in a clean, closed container for up to 24 hours.

Water that has gone through a filter specifically designed to trap potentially infectious organisms. CDC filter recommendations include one that has an absolute pore size of 1 micron or smaller or a label that reads “NSF 53” or “NSF 58.”

When it comes to the solution, you can buy a pre-made sinus rinse. Or, you can make your own homemade neti pot solution. Simply combine one cup of purified (see list above) water with a quarter teaspoon to a half teaspoon of non-iodized salt. You can also include a pinch of baking soda if you would like. If you use two cups of water then double the amount of salt and baking soda. (16)

It is vital that you don’t use a salt in your neti pot that contains any additional ingredients. You only want one ingredient in the salt that you use to make a homemade neti pot solution: salt. A healthy solution is said to mimic the salt-to-water balance of your body’s own tissues.  You can use sea salt, kosher salt or a plain cooking salt for your solution. (17)

Once you have your nasal rinse solution in your neti pot and your hands washed and dried, you are ready to use your neti pot.’
