How to correctly perform a nasal rinse with a squeeze bottle?

Do you know on to correctly perform a nasal rinse with a squeeze bottle?

Using a squeeze bottle correctly to perform a nasal rinse can make a significant difference in its effectiveness. This short instructional and educational video by EUFOREA is a quick step-by-step guide to help you get the most out of your squeeze bottle:

1. First, ensure you have a saline solution ready, either purchased from a store or homemade using distilled or boiled and cooled water mixed with non-iodized salt. Begin by washing your hands thoroughly to maintain hygiene.
2. Next, fill your squeeze bottle with the saline solution. Stand over a sink and tilt your head slightly forward and to one side. Gently insert the nozzle of the squeeze bottle into the upper nostril. Squeeze the bottle gently to allow the saline solution to flow through your nasal passages. The solution should exit through the opposite nostril, carrying mucus and debris with it.
3. Breathe through your mouth during this process to avoid discomfort. Once the solution has passed through, blow your nose gently to clear any remaining liquid. Repeat the process with the other nostril, tilting your head in the opposite direction.
4. After completing the rinse, thoroughly clean and dry the squeeze bottle to keep it sanitary for future use. If you experience any discomfort, stop and consult a healthcare professional. Regular nasal rinsing can help maintain clear nasal passages and reduce congestion.

By following these steps, you can safely and effectively use your squeeze bottle for clearer breathing and sinus relief.
