Choose An Irrigation Device
There are many different kinds of nasal irrigation devices on the market today.

These devices are available at most pharmacies, naturopathic stores & online.'



Use Safe Water
Most homes with indoor plumbing have tap water that is safe to drink.

However, some sources of tap water contain low levels of micro-organisms like bacteria.



Buy A Saline Solution
You can purchase over-the-counter saline solutions designed for nasal irrigation at most drug stores and pharmacies.



Take Sanitary Precautions
It's important that you take safety precautions whenever you handle, clean, and store your irrigation device.

This will help prevent bacteria and other germs.



Fill Your Irrigation Device
Whether you are using a neti pot, a syringe bulb, or a different irrigation device.

Ensure that the device has been properly cleaned.



Get Into Position
Once you've drawn water into your irrigation device, you'll need to get in place.

Lean over a sink to avoid spilling water everywhere (especially water that has been through your sinus).



Irrigate The Sinuses
Once you're in position and have inserted your irrigation device, you may begin to irrigate the nose.

Proceed slowly & carefully especially if this is your first time irrigating your sinuses.




Switch Sides
Once you've irrigated from one side, you'll need to repeat the entire procedure for the other nostril.

Switch the angle of your head to put the other nostril "above" the one you just irrigated.




Clear Your Sinuses
Once you've drained the pot on both sides, exhale through both nostrils before you attempt to inhale.

You may also wish to blow your nose to remove all the excess solution & mucus.
