A new study shows that rinsing your nose with a salt water solution regularly can help fight allergies. Dr. Melissa Pynnonen from the Michigan Sinus Center says that regular nasal irrigation is an inexpensive and easy way to find relief from allergies, stuffy nose, and nasal congestions. A simple yet effective technique is to pour a saline solution into one nostril and let it run out through the other while the mouth is kept open to breathe, using gravity as an aid. There are also inexpensive kits at the drug store available to make the process a lot easier and faster. Dr. Pynnonen suggest that the family use nasal irrigation as a regular part of their nightly routine—to keep the stifles at bay during the cold months.
