Use a tissue to gently blow out any remaining solution in the nose. Some of the saline solution can remain in the nose and trickle out a few hours later. Tilting your head forward and turning side to side immediately after flushing can prevent this. If you are severely congested, the saline solution can reach the sinus channels and can occasionally drip out of the eyes. This is not harmful and can be prevented by flushing more slowly.

A video demo is available here.

Dosage:
Use one (1) or two (2) full syringes for each nostril in the morning and evening or at any time as necessary.

Cleaning:
Pull out the piston from the syringe and flush both parts thoroughly with hot water and let it air-dry. Nasaline® can also be cleaned with a mild dishwashing detergent, but it should not be necessary for cleaning. If piston does not easily slide back into chamber, put a drop of cooking oil on the back of piston tip.

Saline Solution Recipe:
Heat up fresh clean tap water or use water directly from the tap. The water temperature should be at (or close to) body temperature and feel comfortable to the touch. Mix half a (1/2) teaspoon of salt into one (1) cup of water (ca 2.5 grams salt into 1/4 liter water). Stir to dissolve the salt. The saline solution now has the same salt content as the human body (0.9%) - this is a called physiological saline solution. IMPORTANT: If you feel discomfort or a light stinging feeling in your nose when you flush, you may be adding too much or too little salt.

If you are planning to use Nasaline® for an extended period of time, non-iodized salt should be used to prevent any allergic reactions that may develop from the iodine or the algae frequently found in sea salts. We recommend using Nasaline® Salt, which is 99.99% pure sodium chloride and does not contain any additives or preservatives.
