Nasal cleaning is medically called nasal irrigation, which is to send the irrigation solution into the nasal cavity with the help of a certain device (nasal spray, nasal irrigation device) to achieve the purpose of cleaning and assisting.
Usually when we talk about nasal washing, we refer to normal saline irrigation, there are special nasal lavage salts on the market, and there are also nasal lavage liquids and nasal sprays that can be used directly.
Is nasal lavage good for the nose?
Of course, nasal irrigation is a means of assisting **rhinitis. Friends with rhinitis may wish to try it, I believe it can greatly improve your symptoms.
Why is nasal lavage useful for rhinitis?
Maybe it's because of these three reasons.
1.Removal of nasal foreign bodies.
Whether it's dust and bacteria that enter the nasal passages through breathing, or nasal mucus secreted by the nasal passages. They can be removed by rinsing.
When the foreign body is removed, the rhinitis patient will feel much better.
2.Restore ciliary function.
The nasal mucosal cilia in the nasal cavity can help our nose clean itself and keep it clear by wiggling. However, rhinitis can affect cilia function, and nasal irrigation can improve cilia function and restore the nose's ability to clean itself.
3.Reduces inflammation.
Nasal mucosal inflammation and edema will make rhinitis patients feel nasal congestion, nasal irrigation can relieve inflammation and reduce edema, so that rhinitis patients feel more comfortable.
Acute rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis can all be tried with nasal irrigation.

Benefits of Nose Washing:
1 Reduce rhinitis symptoms.
For people with rhinitis symptoms, nasal irrigation can wash away viscous secretions and bacteria inhaled in the nasal cavity. In this way, the normal physiological and hygienic environment of the nasal cavity can be restored, allowing it to work normally, thereby reducing or eliminating the symptoms of rhinitis, and without the use of drugs, some patients can also avoid the pain of surgery.
2 Maintain nasal humidity.
Nose washing can effectively maintain the humidity of the nasal cavity, avoid the nose from being too dry and cause nosebleeds or too moist to form a "fine water long stream", by rinsing the nasal cavity and sinuses and other places, you can remove the dry scab in the nasal cavity in time, so that the nasal cavity can better play the role of cleaning and filtration.
3. Sterilization and disinfection.
The most common nose wash is saline nasal irrigation, moist normal saline can reduce the swelling of the nasal mucosa, and also has an antibacterial effect, which can promote the movement of mucus and cilia on the nasal mucosa, accelerate the discharge of nasal mucus, and completely eliminate the excessive secretion of mucus, harmful substances and germs accumulated in various parts of the nasal cavity, so as not to cause harm in the nasal cavity.
4 Prevent colds.
The mainly** colds are viral infections, and finally bacterial infections can be combined. When the protection and immune function of the nasal mucosa are reduced due to factors such as fatigue and cold, pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria will take advantage of the weakness to cause colds and other diseases. Timely cleaning of the nasal cavity, removal of viruses, and protection of the function of the nasal mucosa can effectively prevent the occurrence of colds and other diseases.
5 **Pharyngitis.
When we use saline to wash the nose, if the saline can be discharged smoothly from the throat, the effect is better, which not only removes the dirt in the nasal cavity, but also effectively sterilizes the pharynx, and also has a certain effect on pharyngitis.
6 Prevention of respiratory diseases.
Cold water nasal washing should be advocated all year round, especially in the morning when you have not washed your face, washing your nose with cold water several times can improve the blood circulation of the nasal mucosa, enhance the ability of the nose to adapt to weather changes, and prevent respiratory diseases.

Nowadays, rhinitis sinusitis has become a condition that annoys many people, so cleaning the nasal cavity has also become the general trend, and cleaning the nasal cavity has some important roles. Because the nasal cavity is full of soft tissues, it is very fragile, dust, nasal mucus, and bacteria will have a great impact on the nasal cavity, making the nasal cavity painful and even rhinitis.
If it is regularly washed with normal saline, it can effectively inhibit the possibility of lesions in the nasal cavity. There are also some people with pollen allergies and dust allergies, and washing the nasal passages is very helpful for the condition.
Generally, clean salt water will be used to clean the nasal cavity, and then use a water bottle used to clean the nasal cavity professionally, after bowing the head, the water will flow into one nostril, and the water can come out from the other nostril with slight pressure.
The above questions are all personal suggestions I have rhinitis for more than 10 years, nasal polyps, sinusitis, and I have only been in the ENT hospital for 2 months to clean the nasal cavity, and my doctor in charge is also the method of most doctors, that is, saline nasal lavage, if the requirements are higher, you can go to the hospital to buy 9% sodium oxide injection, which is commonly known as saline, but it is medical saline, which is more effective, and the concentration is just right, but according to personal economic problems, you can't use sodium oxide every day, you can mix it with saline, and it is said on the Internet that you can't use iodized salt, but I asked the doctor who treated me He said yes I use edible salt according to the proportion of salt 9 water 100 I have to wash the nose is opened by the hospital It is not expensive for dozens of dollars If it is not convenient, I can only suck the salt water into the nasal cavity by myself and wait for a few seconds before spraying it out, but this is inconvenient The nasal irrigation device I bought can be flushed directly into the nasal cavity through the nasal irrigation device The water is best to come out of the mouth to clean up the feeling Salt water is easy to use and useless*** The elderly and children can use it.
Proper nasal cleaning requires the following:
1. It needs to be cleaned 3-4 times a day, before school, after school and before going to bed, and before breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime for smaller children; >>>More

It is still good to wash the nose with saline, which can wash the tiny particles inhaled into the nasal cavity through saline, flush out the body, and keep the respiratory tract clean. It can also prevent and alleviate the symptoms of rhinitis and sinusitis.
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.
