Anyone ever nasal wash?
    #18830715 - 09/11/13 11:55 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Sometimes I meditate with a clogged nose, forcing me to breath through my mouth and long story short makes things difficult.

Nasal washing supposedly has a cleansing effect that allows the breath to flow more freely through the nose.

Its pretty much warm water+salt.
You flow the mixture up one nostril and comes out the other.

I'm reading you can do this with a cup and you can buy "neti wash containers"
I plan on trying this with a cup but seeing if anyone has any experience with this technique or tips on how to use a cup to flow water up your nose..Straw+light inhalation?

Yeah I have a neti pot.  If you don't want to use a neti pot I would suggest a really big syringe.  With the neti pot you basically tilt your head slightly to the side and pour in the salt water. 

DO NOT inhale.  You just pour (or syringe it in) and let gravity take it's course. It will go up one nostril and come down the other.  You need to create a seal at the back of your throat to prevent water from running down it.

VERY IMPORTANT - Use distilled or at the very least, boiled water.  In the U.S a couple of people have died because they used tap water and got a nasty brain-eating bacteria into their sinuses.  Very very important.

It does work, but don't over do it, especially if you have allergies etc because it washes away all of the noses natural defences etc and can make things worse in the long run.

Seems like the choice of salt might matter.  Do you really want more Mortons toxic salt and up the nose through a straw?

yeah I do neti pot fairly frequently. It almost always helps if my nose is stuffed up or if my sinuses are irritated.

½ teaspoon of salt (unionized or sea salt) and ½ teaspoon of soda dissolved in 250 grams of warm sterile, distilled or boiled water. Don’t use tap water. It needs to be filtered first.

You could use more salt and less soda: ½ teaspoon of sea salt and ¼ of baking soda works for me.

Wiccan has a good write up about doing a nasal wash before snorting drugs.
