Nasal Irrigation image

I got this recipe from a couple of different ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctors. But was told years later, by still another ENT doctor, that the Vodka was not neccessary. I have used this for over 30 years now. After the kids had grown and moved out, I found out the one of my daughters had been drinking my Vodka and refilling the bottle with water. Good thing I didn't really need it. LOL (good thing for her, she wasn't caught)

Time 10m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pint warm water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon glycerin
1/2 teaspoon vodka

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients together.
  • Using a bulb syring and holding your head over a sink or toilet bowl, flush the water up one nostril.
  • If the passage ways are clear, the water should come back out the other nostril.
  • Sometimes it will just come back out the same nostril.
  • Some will go down your throat, but that is ok.
  • I have found that the warmer the water is the better it works at loosening the gunk, but you don't want it to be hot.
  • Some people use this like"Ocean".
  • A nasal moisturizer.
