There is often discussion about the saline solution when using nasal douches: can you make it from regular table salt, or do you need to buy special rinsing salt?
ENT specialists recommend using nasal saline rinses. These are specifically designed for cleaning the nose and sinuses. Dos Medical nasal saline rinses are a combination of sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. They provide effective yet gentle cleansing of the sensitive, often inflamed, nasal mucosa.
Regular table salt isn't meant for cleaning your nose. Table salt is a flavor enhancer. You can use it in a nasal douche, but that's often perceived as sharp. Moreover, table salt usually contains iodine, a substance that irritates the sensitive nasal mucosa.
Note: NasoFree rinse salt is specially developed for the sensitive nasal mucosa. Just like with the nasal douche, we collaborated with ENT specialists. Therefore, you can be assured that the rinse salt effectively cleans the nose and sinuses. It is also easy, gentle, and hygienic to use.
Using the nasal douche at home
How often to use the nasal douche: daily. As follows:
How long to use the nasal douche: You can use the nasal douche for as long as needed. There is no maximum number of days.
For hygienic reasons, we recommend replacing the nasal douche after one year.
TIP: Some people (such as young children or the elderly) find a squeeze nasal irrigator difficult to use. There's a good solution for that: the NasuClear electric nasal irrigator .
Disinfecting and cleaning the nasal douche
You should clean a nasal douche every other day. The NasoFree makes that job a breeze:
There are only three separate parts: the squeeze bottle, the cap, and a tube. All parts can be washed with a drop of neutral dish soap and warm water.
Disinfecting can be done with one-fifth white vinegar and four-fifths warm water. Shake well and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then rinse the bottle thoroughly.
You can buy the NasoFree nasal douche in different sets:
You can also buy saline rinse kits with xylitol . This version is especially effective for people with (chronic) sinusitis.
