    Why is nasal lavage useful for rhinitis?

    Maybe it's because of these three reasons.

You can buy a "nasal irrigation device", which is a tool used to clean the nasal passages. It usually uses a certain amount of pressure to send normal saline into the nostrils, flow through the nasal vestibule, sinuses, and nasal passages around the nasopharynx, or from one nostril, or from the mouth. Through the above path, with the help of the bactericidal effect of normal saline itself and the impact of water flow, the pathogenic and dirty accumulated in the nasal cavity will be discharged, so that the nasal cavity can restore the normal physiological environment, restore the self-detoxification function of the nasal cavity, and achieve the purpose of protecting the nasal cavity.
