Nasal Irrigation Has Been Found To Improve Allergy Symptoms

For those people who suffer from severe allergies, you might want to try nasal irrigation. There are two types of nasal irrigation tools I recommend, either the Neti Pot, a ceramic pot developed in India thousands of years ago for cleaning the sinuses, or the modern Neil-Med, a plastic bottle that many people find easier to handle. The basic reason nasal irrigation is so effective at treating allergy symptoms; is because the simple act of washing the sinuses can help remove the cause of the allergy attack. Nasal Irrigation also helps soothe irritated sinuses as well. Here in Los Angeles, where we have very high dust and pollen counts, I recommend people use nasal irrigation both in the morning and at night before going to bed, as well as keeping there homes well cleaned of dust.
