How it works

Mechanical flushing removes mucus, allergens, bacteria and inflammatory mediators from the nasal passages, reduces mucosal oedema and improves mucociliary clearance.

Use sterile, distilled or previously boiled water β€” tap water can introduce dangerous pathogens. Clean the device thoroughly after each use.

Why strong evidence

Multiple RCTs and systematic reviews confirm saline irrigation significantly reduces sinusitis symptoms and reduces antibiotic use. Recommended as first-line treatment in ENT guidelines.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
