Do Alkaline Nasal douching
Nasal douching is a simple procedure that requires you to 'sniff' a saline solution into your nostrils to remove any debris, keeping the nose clean and healthy. It is sometimes referred to as “Saline Sniffs”.
Each time of use it was prepared fresh by taking 250 ml of warm tap water and dissolving one teaspoon of table salt and one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate.
Patients were advised to pour a little of this mixture into cupped palm and sniff it through both nostrils, one at a time. Alternatively, a syringe is used to insert the solution into the nose.
