Sinus problems are quite endemic across the globe as millions of people suffer the harmful effects of pollutants, particulate matter and smog that cover cities and industrial areas. There are many who have chronic sinus symptoms as well as chronic rhinosinusitis. Medical science has conclusively proved that sinus nasal irrigation is beneficial to the treatment of sinus ailments.

Sinus nasal irrigation as a practice has been prevalent in India for centuries as some forms of yoga. Its benefits for solving and alleviating sinus conditions are well observed and documented. Sinus nasal irrigation is defined as the process whereby the mucus cavity of the nasal passage is watered or irrigated with a special solution to expel mucus as well as other irritants so as to clear the nasal passage blockages. This type of treatment has gained prevalence in the world of modern medicine and has been clinically tested to be having no side effects at all.

Sinus nasal irrigation is performed by using salt water solution to which is added some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and also some xylitol for killing bacteria. One of the simplest ways is to take some of the solution in the hands, cupping the hands and snorting the solution. Another way is to spray some water into the nostrils, but then the water may ooze out. One of the best ways is to use a syringe or electrical pump so that the nasal irrigation wash solution can be inhaled from one nostril and then exhaled through the other or through the mouth. This way, the whole nasal passage is effectively cleansed.
