Nasal Saline Rinse (Neti Pot / NeilMed)

for Hay Fever

Flushing the nasal passages with saline solution removes pollen, reduces mucosal inflammation, and improves the effectiveness of nasal medication.

How it works

Mechanical pollen removal, mucociliary clearance enhancement, and reduction of nasal mucosal oedema via osmotic action.

What to watch for

Use sterile or boiled (then cooled) water — never tap water directly (rare but serious infection risk). Use isotonic or hypertonic saline sachets. Rinse twice daily during peak pollen season.
