Nasal Saline Solution and Dusty Air
Unfortunately in our day and age the air we breath is not very clean. In many places it’s just plain dirty. Now dirty air is more than just a nuisance. It’s a real bother. This junk that’s in the air we breath often causes an irritation to the nose and that makes other things happen like swelling up of the tissue.
There is kind of a cascade of events that happens when the nose starts reacting to “dirty air”. These things include swelling of the nose, a feeling like the nose is “stuffy” and often reaches the point where it’s just easier to breath through the mouth. If you remember ever having to breath through your mouth for an extended period of time you know that that was no fun.
Once you create a dilemma it is natural to look for a solution. So the “solution” here is to use a nasal saline “solution”. There are some legitimate differences of opinoin with this treatment such as “just how strong should this salt water be?” Now I happen to believe it should be stronger than the usual saline sprays that are sold in stores.
If the dirty stuff that is inhaled into the nose is not irrigated out it’s not as if it will stay there forever. The body does have a very good self cleaning system and stuff is eventually slowly washed out by the body’s irrigation system. However for many people they are inhaling this bad “stuff” faster than the body is washing it out.
So what strategy do you have to keep your nose cleaned out? If you don’t have one your nose is going to have some side effects from the stuff you’re inhaling. I suggest that the best thing to do is to make a home made nasal solution to irrigate out the junk in the nose. The added benefit is that there are no preservatives in the home made solution.
So why is this important? What difference does it make to use preservatives or not in a nasal saline solution or spray? The biggest reason is that the preservatives are not inert. They actually cause damage and more swelling to the nasal lining! So have a strategy to clean your nasal passages. I suggest making the solution at home to avoid the preservatives. Now that’s a solution!
