Do Your Sinuses Need A Cleanse?
As a prominent filtration system that is often overlooked or taken for granted, your sinus cavities have to deal with a lot of allergens and toxins on a daily basis.
Every time we breathe in through our nose, millions of dust particles, pollens and other allergens are taken in to be filtered through the complex system that is our sinus cavity.
Normally these allergens are eliminated when we blow our nose or they are swallowed and eliminated through our normal bodily functions. In some cases though these can build up in the nasal passages and cause irritation like a blocked nose or headaches, normally caused by a pressure buildup.
When you feel like a build up has occurred in the front of your head, using a nasal rinse can help to flush out these passageways.
Pharmaceutical nasal sprays and rinses often contain nasty chemicals and steroids that over time can negatively impact the lining of the nasal cavities, but luckily there are natural alternatives available.
Neti Pots have always been quite traditional for sinus cleanses. Neti Pots are just this, a specifically shaped pot that is filled with a saline solution, water and salt, and is poured into one nostril and is eliminated out the other nostril.
If you don’t have a Neti Pot lying around, products like that in the Xlear range, can be an easy alternative.
Xlear uses Xylitol with their saline solution to help protect and moisturise the passageways, making it harder for bacteria to stick while flushing away toxins.
Stop living with a blocked nose and support your immune system by cleansing your nose at home, the safe way.
