Nasal Saline solution

Many patients use nasal saline to irrigate their nasal purposes for allergy problems, chronic sinus inflammation and for relief of cold and flu symptoms.

If you make up the solution for yourself, it's important that the finished solution is exactly the same degree of saltiness (salinity) as your bloodstream. Otherwise, this can make irrigation painful and counter-productive.

The recipe is:

1. 4 cups of clean tap water
2. 2 teaspoons of regular table salt

Use real kitchen measuring cups and spoons, and discard the solution after 2 days.
