The process involves using a neti pot, squeeze bottle, or another irrigation device to pour or spray saline solution into one nostril. The solution then flows through the nasal cavity and exits through the other nostril. This helps clear out mucus, allergens, and other particles. It is critical for patients to use distilled, sterile, or previously boiled water to prepare the saline solution to prevent infections. The salt concentration should be isotonic (similar to the bodyâs natural fluids) to avoid irritation.
