Nasal Saline Rinse

for Cold & Flu

Nasal saline irrigation using a neti pot or squeeze bottle twice daily during cold symptoms.

How it works

Flushes virus particles, inflammatory mediators and thickened mucus from nasal passages, reducing congestion and viral load in the upper respiratory tract.

What to watch for

Use sterile, distilled or previously boiled water — tap water can introduce dangerous pathogens into sinuses.
