Suggested Use

1. Prepare the Saline Solution Generally most people find that non-iodized table salt is the best source of the salt for mixing the saline solution. We do not recommend the use of sea salt as it is sometimes too strong and may irritate. Mix approximately 1/4 teaspoon of fine table salt into about 1 cup (8 oz.) of warm water, until it is fully dissolved. The water should be warm, but not hot. It should feel pleasantly warm to the touch so as to not irritate your nasal passages with either too hot or too cold water. Never use either HOT or COLD water. You may prefer to use bottled water if your local water supply is too hard or has chemicals or an unappealing taste. 2. Fill your Nasal Cleansing Pot Once you have the saline solution mixed, pour it into the Nasal Cleansing Pot. You may choose to actually mix it right in the pot to save a step. 3. The Process of Nasal Cleansing • Nasal Cleansing is best done as part of a regular hygiene routine. As you will have saline water flowing and mucus being discharged, it is best to practice this process over a sink or basin. • Tilt your head to the side as shown. You will notice that when you get the proper angle, the water will flow easily from the upper nostril and out the lower nostril. It takes just a little bit of practice to get it just right. This is the most important factor in a successful nasal wash. Don’t be afraid to adjust your head slightly to get the most comfortable angle for your own personal practice. You should find that having your forehead angling slightly downward and sideways will be just about right. • Insert spout of Nasal Cleansing Pot gently into the raised nostril and create a seal between the Pot and your nostril. • Raise the Nasal Cleansing Pot slowly to develop a steady flow of saline solution through the upper nostril and out the lower nostril. You are in total control of the flow of the saline water by the way you hold the pot. The higher you hold it, the faster the flow. Try to find the right flow just for you by raising the pot slowly while you hold your head in the correct position. • During the process breathe through your mouth. The angle of your head is important to allow you to breath easily through your mouth during the process. If you do not have sufficient angle, you will find water draining into your mouth. If this happens as you get to know the process, simply adjust the angle of your head to bring the forehead more or less in line with your chin and start over again. • One Good Tip: You should be able to see the sink drain out of the corner of your eye when angled properly. • Upon completion of the process, exhale gently several times to clear the nasal passages. You may want to use a tissue to catch any excess mucus. • Reverse the tilt of your head and repeat the process on the other side. Some people find they can clear both sides with one pot full of saline solution, but most people prefer using an entire potful for each nostril. • Once you get into practice, the entire process only takes a couple of minutes. 4. Completion of the Process • It is beneficial to do some simple gentle exhalation blowing through both of your nostrils after completion. Either do this over a sink or into a tissue. Be sure to not close off your nostrils as you blow as you are trying to expel the excess solution and any residual mucus. • Some people find it beneficial to do some side or forward bending to allow easier drainage. Experiment with this to find out what works best for you. 5. Cleaning your Nasal Cleansing Pot After use, simply wash out the pot with warm water and dish soap and rinse away all soap and other residues. We have made our device out of sturdy food-grade HDPE plastic so that it is dishwasher safe if you prefer.
