Nasal saline irrigation has been shown to be a beneficial therapy in the treatment and prevention of sinus infections and allergic rhinitis. This non-pharmacologic therapy involves rinsing the nasal passages with a salt-water solution, helping to rid the nose of allergens and thin out mucus.
Daily irrigation. There are several types of oral irrigators, but like all self-care devices they require daily use for maximum efficacy. The most common type for home use is a pulsed flow irrigator. There are also direct flow or steady stream irrigators. Most of the studies completed on oral irrigation were done using pulsed irrigators by Waterpik Technologies. Results cannot be extrapolated to other pulsating devices or direct flow irrigators.
