What Is Saline Nasal Irrigation?
Saline nasal irrigation is the process of using warm salt water to cleanse the nasal passages. This practice can help improve the senses of smell and taste, improve breathing, and reduce congestion from persistent sinus problems, allergies, or illness. Many people practice saline nasal irrigation as part of their daily hygienic routine, similar to brushing teeth. Saline spray is also a type of nasal cleansing, but is not generally referred to as nasal irrigation.
