Why you should perform pulsatile nasal irrigation even if you are "Healthy"

Take a quick look around you while at any drugstore and you will notice that the number of sinus irrigation products on the shelves has increased significantly in the last 10 years. There’s Ocean Nasal Spray, Neilmed, Simply Saline, and the list goes on. All this points to the fact that saline irrigation is an effective means of treating our nose. We wash our hands to kill germs. We shower to get rid of germs. We brush our teeth to kill germs. However, we let the inside of our nose rot, as it gets more and more dirty.

The ancients seemed to understand the value of treating the nose with salt and water. Now it seems that we modern people are catching up too. Oprah Winfrey helped popularize nasal irrigation in 2007 when she had Dr. Mehmet Oz introduce the Neti pot. A family friend, a nurse who works in a city school district, teaches her students how to use the neti pot, and with excellent results. Students rinse their nose and learn that this strategy not only cleans their nose, but it also requires “going out” so they can stay infection-free. And that is precisely what happens to them after watering.

Now I must give credit where credit is deserved: The physician who pioneered the concept of nasal irrigation in the United States is Dr. Murray Grossan of Los Angeles, California, an innovative otolaryngologist who created the nasal sinus irrigation system. Grossan Hydro Pulse. , which has reportedly sold 400,000 to date.

I use Hydro Pulse twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. Hydro Pulse has several advantages over other irrigation products, such as a Neti pot or a pear syringe (the latter of which can harbor bacteria):

1) The Hydro Pulse pulses at a rate that stimulates the nasal cilia at their natural rate, restoring the function of the cilia.

2) Hydro Pulse allows you to irrigate both the nose and throat. It is important to irrigate both, especially since what is in the nose travels to the throat. Irrigating the throat can bring circulation to the throat, thus thinning mucus and reducing postnasal drip.

Pulsatile irrigation is a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to clean the nose. Everyone should know and do it, whether they have a clean or dirty nose. We shower clean or dirty. And the result is that we are much cleaner and healthier after each shower. We should do the same with our nose.

Pulsatile irrigation is by far one of the best actions to ensure good sinus health.
