Treat Allergic Rhinitis with Saline Water Nasal Irrigation
A 2008 study published in the official publication of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin found that regular nasal saline irrigation can improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of baking soda in 2 cups of warm distilled water.
- Using a nasal bulb, snort a small amount of this solution into one nostril.
- Allow the solution to drain back out through the other nostril or through the mouth.
- Gently blow your nose to remove excess mucus and solution.
- Follow this same process with the other nostril.
- Repeat this remedy a couple of times daily until your condition improves.
You can also purchase a saline solution at a drug store and use it in the same manner.
