Nasal Douche

 

A nasal douche is useful in relieving congested nasal passages. It helps keep the airways clear, thins mucous and washes away irritations and mucous crusts.

You will need:

  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of warm water

Mix the ingredients together and flush into the nasal passages using the syringe you have been given.

Do this once or twice a day.
