Nasal Irrigation - Miracle Cure For Chronic Sinusitis?
Nasal irrigation or nasal lavage is technique of hydrotherapy whereby one is able to completely and thoroughly wash out the nasal passages and sinuses. It is totally safe and it is very effective. So effective in fact, if you were to do absolutely nothing else for your sinuses, this one technique could still radically alter your health for the better.
You see, if you have chronic sinusitis, chances are good that you have damaged cilia from all of the previous infection. (Cilia are the small hairlike structures that move debris and mucous out of the sinuses and nasal passages.) If you have damaged cilia or impaired ciliary function, your sinuses are not able to clean themselves effectively. Thus, mucous and debris (pollen, dust, dander, etc.) buildup in your sinuses and nasal passages and increase the inflammation and block the sinus openings.

Nasal irrigation steps in for the damaged cilia and does their job for them by removing the debris. In fact, one form of nasal irrigation actually simulates ciliary movement with its pulsatile action and subsequently this stimulates ciliary function such that it may be encouraged toward improvement. There are several forms of nasal irrigation, not all equally effective, though all beneficial. Choose a method most convenient for you-one that you will stick with and utilize at least once daily (twice is better!) for the long haul.
The most beneficial form of nasal irrigation is that of pulsatile nasal irrigation. Pulsatile irrigation is a mechanical method of irrigation in which a gentle stream of salinated water is directed through the nasal passages in pulses. This pulsation effectively simulates (and stimulates) ciliary motion, which is often impaired in those with chronic sinusitis.
With pulsatile irrigation, one uses a machine designed just for this purpose such as the Grossan Hydro Pulse (shown below).
There are other forms of manual irrigation that work quite well also. One is the traditional Neti pot, which has been used by Indian yogis for centuries to keep the nasal passages and sinuses clean. In this method, one takes an implement similar in appearance to a small tea pot (see photo below) and pours salinated water through each nostril. The method is very gentle and recommended in the absence of pulsatile irrigation.
Another effective manual method of nasal irrigation is that of irrigation with a bulb syringe (available at any pharmacy). One may take the bulb syringe, draw up into the syringe appropriately salinated water and irrigate.
Preferable to utilizing a generic bulb syringe however, is the Nasaline nasal irrigator. The Nasaline irrigator consists of a two ounce syringe with a specialized silicone tip designed specifically for nasal irrigation.
In the absence of the above irrigation implements, one can still irrigate the nose by preparing an appropriate mixture of salinated water into a cupped hand and snorting it into each nostril.

In the preceding, you were introduced to the methods and implements of nasal irrigation, now we need to discuss just what constitutes an appropriate salinated mixture. Before discussing the preparation that you can make yourself, I highly recommend purchasing premixed saline for solution, which is typically PH balanced for the human body and leaves no room for error as there is no guesswork in measurement. In particular, I recommend a product called Breathe-Ease XL above all else.
You can easily prepare your own saline solution for nasal irrigation. To do so, you will need non-iodized table salt (some people are allergic to iodine and over time it will irritate the sinuses) and baking soda. Mix 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 pinch of baking soda into 8 ounces of warm (not cold and not hot!) water. Stir thoroughly to allow the salt and baking soda to completely dissolve. Irrigate with one of the above methods.
Regarding appropriate irrigation technique, the head should be tilted forward over a sink such that when you irrigate one nostril the fluid pours from the other nostril. You should keep your mouth open and try not to swallow while irrigating. For specific irrigation instructions, see the package insert of whichever of the above products you choose for your irrigation purposes.
You may also choose to produce some saline solution for moistening the nasal passages throughout the day and to rinse away pollen and other irritants. You can purchase small spray bottles for the nose at most drug stores. Simply fill the bottle with the above suggested saline preparation. Be sure to change the mixture out daily as well as to wash your spray bottle so as to prevent bacterial buildup.
