mixture or any other saline mixture
of your choice. Make sure you do the appropriate dilution
based on the directions supplied by the manufacturer
of the mixture packets or sachets. We recommend
that you do not use homemade salt mixtures for nasal
irrigation, as they may have inaccurate concentrations
and lead to inadequate relief, a burning or stinging
sensation, or even nasal congestion. Be sure to stir
until the mixture is completely dissolved.
2. Adjust the stream so it travels to the height of two to
three inches, then use the control to start or stop the
stream.
3.
Standing in front of a sink, bend forward to your
comfort level and tilt your head down.
4. Keeping your mouth open, without holding your breath,
place the tip snugly against your nostril. Turn on the
nasal irrigator. Saline will go in from one nostril, fi ll
up your nasal passages and drain out the other side
by gravity.
5.
Use approximately one quarter to one half of the
solution per nostril. Repeat for opposite nostril.
6. Turn off the control switch.
Throat Irrigation
1. Make a solution of diluted mouth wash or saline. Plain
water can also be used.
2. Lay throat tip on the right side of the tongue so the tip
points to just behind the last tooth on the right. Adjust
to low pressure that feels comfortable. Keep length of
tip parallel to the midline of the tongue.
3. Bend down into sink at comfortable level. Use hand
control to turn on and off.
Occasionally a new machine has an air pocket and liquid
won’t come out in a smooth stream. In this case, it needs
to be primed. Fill the tank, turn on the machine, then drop
the handle as low as possible below the machine level,
making sure the handle switch is open. Once the solution
comes out in a regular stream, resume regular operation.
Very rarely, Sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and
residues from the dried out saline can clog the tubing if
not used on a regular basis. To prevent this, rinse with
designated quality water after each use.
