The safest way to clear the nasal passages is by utilizing a Neti Pot. Jala Neti (water cleansing) is a procedure to clear the nasal passages through which you mix lukewarm water with isotonic salt and then pour the solution into one nostril and then the other. This ancient Indian yoga technique is the perfect substitute for all those steroid based nasal sprays and antibiotics. If you give your child over the counter nasal spray or utilize them yourself, haven’t you noticed that the symptoms never go away? Those over the counter sprays are designed for temporary relief only. They constrict the blood vessels and decrease the congestion temporarily. After a few uses you or your child will need a higher dose of that over the counter spray or prescription. Why not try the natural remedy that has been utilized for centuries? I know it might be weird and gross at first when you try it out, but think of all the benefits, and after all it is the safest way to clear the nasal passages. Plus you and your whole family can use it all your life and never have to worry about any side effects.
