A Small Tip from Nature

A lukewarm solution is usually more pleasant than a cold one.

A ready-made salt sachet makes it easier to get the right concentration and reduces the chance of stinging caused by an unbalanced mixture.

Did You Know?

Nasal rinsing is not only a traditional remedy. It is also used in ear, nose and throat medicine as a tool to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and certain nose and sinus problems.

One important point: for nasal rinsing, use only distilled or sterile water, or water that has been boiled and cooled — not tap water directly.

Sometimes the most pleasant feeling is simply being able to breathe through your nose again.
