What is SaltAire Sinus Relief?
SaltAire Sinus Relief is a specially formulated, drug-free, natural saline nasal wash using a hypertonic solution for people with nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, or who are exposed to environmental pollutants.
How does SaltAire Sinus Relief work?
SaltAire Sinus Relief is a pre-mixed saline nasal wash that gently flushes out dust, mold, pollens, and other inhaled irritants known to contribute to allergy, sinus infection, and other respiratory problems. Sinus cleansing with a hypertonic solution increases mucociliary clearance and enhances the upper respiratory tract’s natural filtration system. SaltAire Sinus Relief comes packaged in an easy-to-use, manually operated pump bottle that gives the user easy fingertip-control over the flow of the hypertonic solution. Unlike nasal sprays, the SaltAire dispenser delivers the volume and rinsing intensity necessary for the hypertonic solution to comfortably penetrate and cleanse the entire nasal cavity.
Is SaltAire Sinus Relief safe?
Yes, when used as directed. The product’s main ingredients are water and salt, both of which are naturally occurring compounds found within the body. The practice of saline nasal cleansing has been traced back to ancient times. Indeed, rinsing with seawater or saltwater is still a popular method of treating head colds in many cultures. Studies published in respected medical journals support the use of saline nasal wash with a hypertonic solution for sinus and allergy problems.
Warning: If nasal irritation, ear pressure or ear pain occur, discontinue use and contact your physician.
If you are on a sodium restricted diet or are pregnant or for children under 8 years of age please consult physician before using SaltAire Sinus Relief.
Does the medical community recognize nasal cleansing as an effective treatment?
Yes. The benefits of saline nasal cleansing with a hypertonic solution have been extensively documented in medical literature, and the results of relevant scientific studies have been published in multiple otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), allergy, pediatric, and pulmonary medical journals.

How does SaltAire Sinus Relief differ from other over-the-counter saline nasal washes?
Most nasal saline washes contain less than 1% salt, are acidic, and/or are delivered into the nose as a mist or spray. SaltAire uses a hypertonic solution, meaning it contains a higher concentration of salt but is pH balanced, making it gentle and non-irritating. Further, SaltAire Sinus Relief is a saline nasal wash, not a spray. Its award-winning applicator bottle provides the liquid volume and rinsing intensity necessary to fully cleanse the entire nasal cavity.
What are its ingredients?
The SaltAire saline nasal wash is a drug-free pH balanced formula that contains significantly more salt but is less acidic than other commercially available nasal washes. The hypertonic solution is a mixture of purified water, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, dibasic sodium phosphate, benzethonium chloride and trisodium EDTA. The ingredients are buffered to insure a gentle cleansing wash of the sinus cavities.
Does SaltAire Sinus Relief help individuals with allergies?
Yes. The SaltAire hypertonic solution helps wash away the pollen and dust that can cause allergies.
Can individuals on a salt restricted diet use SaltAire Sinus Relief?
As the SaltAire mixture contains sodium, we recommend that people on a low sodium diet consult their doctors to determine if this product is appropriate for them.
