Q: How does nasal irrigation work?

A: Nasal irrigation reduces many common upper respiratory illnesses through the following several mechanisms independently, simultaneously or jointly:

• Mechanically washing out pathogenic microorganisms from nasal and or sinus cavities.
• Mechanically washing out harmful pollens, dusts, and any other environmental pollutants from nasal and or sinus cavities.
• Loosening, softening and washing out built up mucus secretion and/or pus from nasal and or sinus cavities.
• Diluting, reducing and removing inflammatory mediators in the nasal and or nasal cavities.
• Promoting to forming a thin protective liquid film over nasal and sinus membrane and therefore reducing pathogen contact with nasal and sinus membrane.
• Restoring, promoting or activating ciliary function and therefore strengthening Nasal and sinus self-cleansing and protecting mechanisms.
• Promoting/restoring normal biological microenvironment in the nasal and sinus cavities and therefore promoting self healing, while reducing pathogenic microorganism growth in the nasal and sinus cavities.
• Non-surgically removing blockages in nasal passage to make you breathe easier.
• Reducing bad secretions sticking on your throat, so you feel better.
