Sinus irrigation, also known as nasal rinsing, involves flushing the nasal passages with a saline (salt water) solution to clear mucus, allergens, and irritants. This process can help alleviate symptoms of sinus conditions like allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. 

Benefits of Sinus Irrigation:

Reduces inflammation:

By washing away irritants and excess mucus, nasal irrigation can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses. 

Relieves congestion:

It can help clear a stuffy or runny nose, facial pain, and pressure, improving breathing and overall comfort. 

Prepares nasal lining:

Nasal irrigation can prepare the nasal lining for other medications, like nasal sprays, allowing for better absorption. 

Helps with healing:

It can prevent dry crusts from forming after nasal or sinus surgery, aiding in healing and reducing infection risk. 

When Sinus Irrigation May Be Recommended:

Allergic Rhinitis: To remove allergens from the nasal passages.

Sinusitis: To reduce inflammation and clear mucus.

Nasal Crusts: To soften and remove crusts.

After Nasal or Sinus Surgery: To maintain cleanliness and aid in healing.
