    The concept of sniffing a salt water solution into the nose of an individual has been around for thousands of years.  The Neti Pots simply improved upon the delivery system.  A segment of the Oprah Winfree show reintroduced the Neti Pot to a huge audience. 

    During a conversation I had with a physician who was born in India, he described to me that his father would have him sniff a salt water solution out of his cupped hands into his nose to wash out pollens that aggravated his sinusitis and allergy problems.  I asked him if he had mastered the ancient Yogi’s technique of pulsating the solution at the rate his cilia beats in his nose; we both shared a good laugh.

    You are probably wondering, what was the benefit of pulsating the salt water solution into the nose?  The Yogi Masters, who are adept at controlling all kinds of bodily functions; such as heart rate and breathing function, knew that the pulsating action combined with the salt water solution did much more than simply inhaling the solution.  

    To understand why, one must comprehend in simple terms, a unique process that assists your nose in removing debris.  The mucociliary system functions to work synergistically with mucus produced and the cilia lining the inside of your nose.  Cilia are basically hair-like structures that beat rapidly in your nose to transport mucus and the debris that it traps to the back of your throat, into your digestive juices and out of the body through your waste systems.  However, when the cilia lose their mobility to beat back and forth because of the toxic, thick, sticky bio film produced by bacteria or a viral infection, the entire mucociliary system becomes stopped up and loses its effectiveness in transporting mucus.  Just remember how congested you feel when you have a terrible cold or sinus infection.

    The Neti Pot enables a user to pour a steady stream of salt water solution into their nose; the bulk of which flows directly over the top of the thick, sticky, infectious, bio film that has transformed the healthy mucus from a substance that works cooperatively with the cilia to one that inhibits the cilia from performing as a transport system.  Think of a production line, if the conveyor belt becomes jammed, product does not move along the assembly line.  Neti Pots vary in cost relative to the construction material; generally plastic, ceramic or stainless steel.    

    Pulsatile Irrigation delivers a gentle pulsating stream of a buffered saline solution at a rate that gently erodes and removes the bio film that is preventing the cilia in your nose from helping you fight your sinusitis infections and allergy challenges.  A Pulsatile Irrigation system called the Sinupulse Elite costs approximately $97.00 and includes a 30day supply of buffered saline solution.   Respiraid offers the Sinupulse Elite systems.     

    Bottom line;  if you are tired of continuously taking medicines to treat your symptoms; start supporting your body to help eliminate the sources of  your complications by practicing responsible nasal hygiene.  You may be surprised by your reduction or dependence on over the counter and prescription medications by simply flushing out your nose!

    All patients are encouraged to direct their specific questions to their personal physicians. The information is written to help patients better understand and participate in their own medical care.

    Winter, with its majestic snowscapes, is upon us. We have a couple of months yet before we start to thaw out. Then we’ll be onto spring.

    Spring is a wonderful season that celebrates renewed life, fragrance and beauty.  However, millions of people each year seek nasal allergy relief while trying to enjoy hiking, bird watching, boating, baseball, hiking, grilling and the endless list of activities that compliment the moderate temperatures of this spectacular season.

    Often, the first remedy that an individual will seek for relief is an over-the-counter antihistamine, decongestant or combination product.  If the symptoms persist and an infection develops; usually a doctor’s visit will be pursued.  Sinusitis treatment by a physician usually involves the prescribing of an antibiotic, nasal steroid and perhaps a prescription allergy medication.

    If you are a repeat Allergy Sufferer, you may be growing frustrated by the endless cycle of pursuing a treatment strategy that decreases in effectiveness the longer you use the medications. 

    Sinus Irrigation is a simple, natural, convenient and effective solution to help relieve and potentially prevent the symptoms from reoccurring.  Pulsatile Irrigation is an advanced form of sinus irrigation that is reported to be 100 times more effective than simple irrigation devices. 

    The Neti Pot or lavage bottle delivers a large volume of saline solution that may help rinse the nose of allergens.  However, these devices are marginally effective at removing the thick, sticky and infectious material that weighs down the hair-like structures in your nose designed to work harmoniously with mucous to transport pollens, animal dander and molds to the back of your throat to be swallowed and destroyed by your digestive juices. 

    Pulsatile Irrigation delivers a gentle pulsating stream of a buffered saline solution that is engineered to gently lift and remove the infectious material weighing down the cilia in your nose; restoring the mucociliary function in your nose to work effectively at clearing out debris that triggers an allergic reaction.  A daily commitment of 30-40 seconds will help empower your body’s natural immune system to fend off the runny nose, nasal congestion and sore throats resulting from post nasal drip. 

    How much time would be more productively utilized and enjoyed each year if you were able to reduce your physician office visits by 50-75%?  How much money would you save each year if your dependence upon over-the-counter and prescription medications, co-payments and deductibles were dramatically reduced or eliminated?

    An effective Pulsatile Irrigation device can be purchased for around $97.00.  Respiraid is a company that has helped many allergy and sinusitis sufferers by offering a device supported by a 30 day money back guarantee and a one year manufacturer’s warranty.   For most, this is typically less than the hundreds of dollars allergy sufferers pay for medications, co-payments and deductibles often associated with most rhinitis treatment plans. 

    Preventative and effective management of nasal allergy symptoms is attainable if you commit to a simple routine that requires less than a minute to irrigate your nose each day during allergy seasons.  If you desire to play an active role in resolving your allergy and sinusitis symptoms; please consider adopting this wonderful technology that is safe and effective.

    If you have questions, patients should direct their specific questions to their personal physicians. The information is provided to help patients make better choices concerning their treatment regimens.
