Nasaline Nasal Irrigator - 1 ea

Nasaline is a nasal irrigation device used to treat nasal symptoms associated with colds, the flu, allergies, or sinus related infections. Under doctor supervision and direction, Nasaline is also an effective tool for use in the follow up treatment to sinus or nose surgery. After a prolonged stay in dry, dusty, or smoky environments, Nasaline cleans and soothes the nasal passages, reducing nasal irritation and moistening the mucous membranes. With the simple use of saline solution, Nasaline is a drug free alternative for people looking for relief from everyday nasal and sinus ailments. Nasaline consists of a 2 oz syringe and a patented silicone tip. The silicone tip was designed to fit most adult noses in such a way as to completely seal the nostril opening. The channel inside the tip is formed in the shape of an hourglass, producing a gentle swirl stream when the saline solution enters the nose. The silicone tip does not contain latex and is safe for direct contact with the skin.Heat up fresh clean tap water or use warm water directly from the tap. The water temperature should be at body temperature and feel comfortable to the touch. Mix one (1) teaspoon of salt into approximately two (2) cups of water. Stir to dissolve the salt. If you feel a light stinging feeling in your nose when you flush, you may be adding too much or too little salt. If you are planning to use Nasaline for an extended period of time, we recommend using non-iodized salt which can be bought in any supermarket.Extract the saline solution completely into the syringe.Stand slightly bent over a bathroom sink or washbasin. Place the silicone tip up against the nose so that it completely seals the nostril. Slowly push the saline solution up into the nostril. Breathe normally through the mouth and refrain from swallowing.When the saline solution reaches the back of the nasal cavity, the palate closes automatically by reflex. The saline solution fills the nasal cavity and proceeds to pour out the other nostril as it brings along unwanted mucous and crusty secretions. Occasionally, some of the saline solution can trickle down the throat. This is not harmful. A proper flushing should take about 10 seconds per nostril.Repeat the process with the other nostril.Use a tissue to blow out any excess saline solution in your nose. Some of the saline solution can remain in the nose and trickle out a few hours later. Tilting your head forward and turn side to side immediately after flushing can prevent this. If you are severely congested, the saline solution can reach the sinus channels and can occasionally drip out of the eyes. This is not harmful and can be prevented by flushing more slowly.Use one full syringe (2 oz.) for in each nostril in the morning and in the evening or at any time as necessary.Pull out the piston from the syringe and flush both parts thoroughly with hot water and let air-dry. Nasaline can also be cleaned with a mild dishwashing detergent. If the plunger does not easily
