I am on a low-sodium diet. Is it safe for me to use the SinuCleanse system?
Sure. As long as you are only irrigating your nose, you will not absorb significant sodium. If you are SWALLOWING a lot of the solution, it could provide a significant source of sodium. To prevent swallowing, make sure that your palate is closed by breathing through your mouth while pouring the solution. Another trick is to repeat a hard “k” sound (repeat “ka ka ka ka”) while administering the solution. Either of these measures will close the throat, preventing solution from entering it and being swallowed.
