With regards to sinusitis and rhinitis, studies have indicated that saline nasal sprays may help treat these medical conditions.
They are useful at removing airborne allergens, thinning mucus thereby relieving nasal congestion, moisturizing the nasal passages and keeping the cilia in your nose healthy. Cilia are the small hair-like structures in your nose that help humidify air to your lungs, assist in sinus drainage, trap bacteria etc. and aid your sense of smell.
Isotonic and hypertonic saline nasal sprays are available. Isotonic saline nasal sprays contain the same salt concentration found in the human body whereas hypertonic saline nasal sprays contain a higher level of salt concentration than is found in the human body. Excessive hypertonic solutions can impair cilia movement however they can be more effective at drying out swollen tissue.
Unfortunately many saline nasal sprays are not completely natural and contain chemicals such as benzalkonium. These additives and preservatives can cause side effects and can even be addictive therefore it is always better to choose a saline nasal spray without these.
Although saline nasal sprays are useful for many people, they do have their disadvantages. They are not particularly effective at relieving sinus pain, pressure and headaches. They do not kill bacterial and fungal infections, therefore do not help many chronic sinusitis sufferers. They do not reduce histamine therefore many allergy sufferers do not get sufficient relief from their symptoms.
Although saline nasal sprays do help many sinus sufferers, like any product they do not help everyone. A great alternative is Sinusoothe 100% natural nasal spray. This nasal spray is saline based but contains added natural ingredients that have been clinically proven to be effective. Therefore all the benefits of a saline nasal spray are retained plus it has further benefits. It gives instant relief from sinusitis and sinus allergy symptoms since it contains potent natural anti-inflammatory, pain relieving and anti-histamine properties. It also provides a long term solution since it kills infections and desensitizes the nasal passages to allergens. It is doctor recommended and completely safe to use daily for chronic conditions.
A great alternative to saline nasal sprays is to irrigate the sinuses with a saline solution. Isotonic or hypertonic solutions can be used and the usual method of administering the solution is a neti-pot. Other proprietary devices are also available and the object is to force the saline solution through the nasal passages. This is particularly effective at relieving nasal congestion and removing airborne allergens. It does however lack the convenience of nasal sprays and the process can be cumbersome.
You should always speak with your doctor before using new treatments.
