The use of a nose flusher is a good prevention against a cold, helps to open up blocked breathing channels and improves your well-being. Try it out! I can  strongly recommend it.

The first few times of use might feel somewhat strange, but it is definitely worth a try. I use it from time to time and I always feel very good after applying it. There are people who recommend a daily use, for me it is too frequent.

How to proceed?
First, buy a nose flusher (Neti Pot) device. It is available in variours stores and pharmacies.

You need:
1 nose flusher (Neiti Pot)
1 sachet with natural salt

The application of a nose flusher is more or less self-evident. Fill the liquid container with lukewarm water and add the natural salt. If the salt has dissolved (shake thoroughly), place the nosepiece tight to one nose hole. Open your mouth, bend your head over the sink, and lean on one side. Then release the device in which the solution is retained. The salt mixture flows into one nose hole and out through the other one.
These things are important for any type of nasal flusher:

• Good hygiene: It protects you against pathogens. Wash the nasal shower with warm water before and after each use. Let it dry well, preferably upside down. Clean it occasionally, for example in the dishwasher or by boiling it in water, and observe the instructions for use. I buy a new nasal shower after using it for about one year.
• Gentle flow: Open your mouth when rinsing. Otherwise the solution runs into your throat. If it does, then spit it out. If the solution does not pass through a nasal hole, rinse through the other one. Or, if possible, gently press on the sides of the nasal shower. If neither helps, discontinue the process. Perhaps it will only succeed after several attempts or after a consultation with your doctor.

The correct liquid: The rinsing solution must contain 0.9 grams of salt (sodium chloride) per 100 ml of water. The solution can be bought in stores.  You can also prepare the solution yourself with salt, preferably with salt without iodine, fluoride or separating agent. The correct measure is 4.5 g of salt (about one teaspoon) to half a liter of boiling water. Such a solution contains 0.9% salt. A lower or significantly higher salt concentration can damage the nasal mucosa and burn inside the nose. Let the hot salt solution cool down until it feels pleasant to you. Always make the nasal solution fresh. I prefer to use Himalayan salt, but sea salt is also suitable. If you have a medical problem, ask your doctor.

Other names are: nose irrigation, nose shower or nasal shower.

I wish you success!
