Nasal cleansing with salt water has been recommended for centuries as a potent method of improving nasal breathing and promoting nasal health.
More recently, independent research conducted by the Mayo Clinic found that mold and fungus are present in the mucus of virtually all individuals and are the underlying cause of sinus problems in most sinus sufferers. Several published university studies have confirmed the efficacy of nasal cleansing with a hypertonic solution for relieving sinus symptoms and improving respiratory health.
Nasal cleansing with a drug-free hypertonic saline solution helps clear the nasal passages of mucus, shrinks nasal membranes, and promotes mucociliary flow, the body’s natural nasal cleansing and filtering system. Inhaled material including pollen, dust, mold, and other irritants are removed with this type of saline nasal wash.
