How Do You Use Pulsatile Nasal Irrigation For Sinus Problems?
Inside your Sinus are tiny hairs called nasal cilia. Their job is to keep your sinus healthy by beating back and forth thus removing bacteria. If nasal cilia is too slow, bacteria remain in the nose and sinuses and multiply and cause a sinus infection. The rate of pulsation matches best cilia movement and restores cilia movement. Pulsatile irrigation is best for removing thick mucus, bacteria, pollen and biofilm. Once cilia move at a normal rate, they clear the nose and sinuses of bacteria. Add warm water to the 500 cc mark on the basin. Add one teaspoon of kosher salt or enhanced irrigation formula. Use the pressure knob to adjust the pressure to almost one inch high. This is the best pressure for gentle irrigation. Lean over the sink so you can see the drain. This prevents the water from going into your throat. Turn on the Hydro Pulse and irrigate for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, change sides and irrigate your other nostril. Now you will be able to breathe freely.
