Principles of nasal irritation

While some amount of mucus production from the nasal and sinus lining is normal, allergies and sinus infections can cause excessive mucus production. This excessive mucus production causes nasal and sinus symptoms such as a runny and stuffy nose or post-nasal drip. The key to symptom relief is to physically wash away this excess mucus and allergens, such as grass and tree pollen, dust particles, pollutants and bacteria from the nasal passages. This rinsing will reduce inflammation of the mucosa membrane, allowing you to breathe more normally.

Current medical literature indicates that large volume saline nasal irrigation, delivered with low positive pressure, provides superior symptom relief to patients with sinus disease and nasal allergies. For an effective nasal rinse, you need to use a large volume (100-200 mL) of saline solution in each of the nasal passages, delivered with adequate positive pressure to displace the mucus, pollen and allergens from the nasal passages.

The key to significant symptom relief is to perform a true saline nasal irrigation with sufficient volume and adequate pressure to remove mucus and associated pathogens from the nasal passages. Therefore, effective nasal irrigation devices must have the following characteristics:

• The capacity to hold a large volume of saline solution (200 mL to 240 ml.)
• The ability to deliver the solution with low but adequate pressure into the nasal passages. The pressure must be sufficient such that the saline can not only flow through the nasal passages, but also displace the mucus, pollen and allergens.
• The saline solution must travel up the nasal passage, flow over the septum and out through the other nasal passage. Until this entire flow cycle occurs, you will not achieve a thorough cleansing job. This fact alone makes nasal sprays unsuitable for true large volume saline nasal irrigation
