What is a nasal douche?

With a nasal douche you can clean the nose and paranasal sinuses very effectively. This way you keep it clean, healthy and open. A nasal douche is often also called a 'nasal rinse'.

This product is a medical device, class 1.

When do you use a nasal douche?

A nasal douche cleans and provides air in different situations:

• acute and chronic sinusitis and sinusitis
• hay fever, dust mite allergy and allergy to animals (cat, dog, horse, etc.)

• after nose surgery
• in case of a cold
• running nose
• stuffy ears and earache
• asthma
• headache

Nasal rinsing can also help reduce snoring!

How does a nasal douche work?

A nasal douche works as follows:

You inject the contents of the nasal douche – a saline solution of nasal rinse salt – into your nose. The solution rinses the nasal cavities. In addition, stuck mucus is removed. The cavities are also hydrated. And the nasal mucosa relaxes.

The effect of nasal douches has been scientifically studied. This research shows that:

• nasal douches with nasal rinse salt really work as described above, and that
• a model like the NasoFree nasal douche is the most effective compared to other forms.

Instructions for use nasal douche and nasal rinse

How should you use a nasal irrigator? All the instructions you need can be found below:

Use nasal rinse salt

There is often discussion about the saline solution with nasal douches: can you make it from normal table salt, or do you have to purchase special rinsing salt?

ENT doctors say: use nasal rinse salt. Because it has been specially developed for cleaning the nose (sinuses). Dos Medical nasal rinse salt is a combination of sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. It provides an effective and gentle cleaning of the sensitive, usually inflamed, nasal mucosa.

Regular 'table salt' is not intended for cleaning your nose. Table salt is a flavor enhancer. You can use it in the nasal douche, but that is often experienced as sharp. In addition, table salt usually contains iodine, a substance that irritates the sensitive nasal mucosa.

NB: DOS Medical rinse salt has been specially developed for the sensitive nasal mucosa. DOS Medical worked together with ENT doctors – just like for the nasal douche. Therefore, you can be sure that the salt rinse effectively cleanses the nose and paranasal sinuses. And it is also easy, mild and hygienic to use.

Using the nasal irrigator at home
How often to use the nasal douche: daily. In the following way:

1. Use sufficient solution: 250 ml. The amount of salt you should use is: 1 bag per 250 ml.
   
   
2. Rinse at an angle of approximately 45°, injecting the saline solution into the nose from below. This way you can also reach your sinuses well.
   
   
3. You decide how high the pressure is during injection. Make sure you apply 'light pressure'. This way you ensure that all parts of your nose and paranasal sinuses are reached.

How long to use the nasal irrigator: You can use the nasal irrigator for as long as necessary. There is no maximum number of days.

TIP: Some people (such as young children or the elderly) find a squeeze nasal douche difficult to use. DOS Medical also has a good solution for this: the NasuClear electric nasal shower .

Disinfect and clean the nasal douche
You should clean a nasal douche every other day. That job is done in no time with the NasoFree:

There are only 3 separate parts: the squeeze bottle, the cap and a tube. You can simply wash all parts with a drop of neutral dishwashing liquid and warm water.

Disinfecting can be done with one-fifth part white vinegar and four-fifths warm water. Shake it well and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Then rinse the bottle thoroughly.

Available in various affordable sets

You can buy the NasoFree nasal douche from DOS Medical in different sets:

• Standard set with the nasal douche and 4 sachets of rinsing salt
• Starter set with the nasal douche and 30 sachets of rinsing salt
• Extensive starter set with the nasal shower and 60 sachets of rinsing salt

You can also buy sets with sachets of rinsing salt with xylitol. This variant is extra effective for people with (chronic) sinusitis.
