Lo Technology Nasal Spray
If you go into a typical store in search of a treatment for your nasal symptoms, you will find a dizzying array of options to treat your nose. Many of these are strategies to get saline into your nose. The most common of these is a nasal saline spray.
Of all the treatments one might buy in the store surely the most simple is nasal saline spray. Or at least it should be simple! First you need a saline solution that is safe for the nose— water and salt in most cases- and unfortunately if you’re going to sell your product in the store you often need a preservative to keep it safe from bad germs. In fact most of the sprays that are for sale in the store will have preservatives in them. That definitely moves it away from being simple “saline nasal spray”.
The average person might shrug their shoulders. “Big deal” they might say. I would like you to consider for a moment the concept that something that is strong enough to kill germs is being sprayed up your nose. You might think that’s a good thing in that it’ll kill the germs there too! Sorry to disappoint you but that’s not a good way to get rid of the bad germs in your nose. Here’s the straight scoop: preservatives irritate the cells in the lining of the nose. Surprised?
In addition to having this intrusion of bad chemicals on the nose, many strategies use devices to try to irrigate the nose. Some who promote these strategies say that sniffing the nasal saline solution from your hand does not work. After years of using strategies that some say “don’t work” I have to conclude that these people don’t know what they are talking about.
I have discovered over more than 30 years of medicine that the best way to get saline nasal solution up your nose is to sniff it from the palm of your hand. To be sure there is a technique that I”ve developed over the years that makes it work a lot better. I call it the “Lo-tech, No-tech” strategy for nasal irrigation. You can learn about it on my blog.
In summary, if you combine the right ingredients in making a good nasal saline solution (that can also be used as a saline nasal spray if you wish) and use that Lo tech but wonderful tool, the hand (that is, Lo tech in that it is not made by people), you will have amazing results in dealing with all chronic nasal symptoms. Oh and don’t forget– you get to lose the preservatives.
