To
flush your own sinuses, you will need a clean nose dropper
and saline solution. To make the saline solution, dissolve
one tablespoon of ordinary table salt in two cups of water.
When you have the nose dropper and the saline solution, follow
these instructions:
Lie on your back with your head hanging over the edge
of your bed.
Use about one ounce of the saline solution to fill the
congested nostril to the brim (if both sides are involved,
only flush one side for now and repeat the procedure afterwards
on the opposite side).
After filling the nostril, slowly turn your head slightly
(about 45 degrees) in the direction of that nostril while
still hanging your head over the edge of the bed (as you
remain in this position, the solution will run into the
sinuses through the small openings in the nasal passageway).
After the solution has seeped into the sinuses, you should
be able to add 10 to 20 additional drops while you stay
in this position for another two minutes.
After two minutes, bring your head up level to the mattress
and lie on your back with the affected sinus toward the
ceiling (this position lets the solution drain out the sinuses
and down your throat).
As the sinuses drain, you may feel a considerable amount
of fluid pass down the back of your throat (this is an excellent
sign).
You can help the draining process even more by placing
a warm hot water bottle or heating pad (on
the low setting) on top of the problem nostril (if
you become relaxed to the point of wanting to take a nap,
go ahead and do so).
Providing
your doctor has no objection, you may want to use this saline
solution sinus flush on a daily basis until your condition
clears. Even when your sinuses aren't congested, you may use
this procedure to keep them clean of inhaled particles.
