Nasal irrigation
: Good scientific evidence suggests that nasal irrigation can effectively treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. A well-conducted randomized controlled trial that fully reports the data would make the case for allergic rhinitis stronger.There is also good scientific evidence that nasal irrigation may effectively treat chronic sinusitis. A large randomized double-blinded study would lend strong support to the usage of nasal irrigation for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.Nasal irrigation is generally well tolerated. Use cautiously with history of frequent nosebleeds. If the irrigation liquid is too hot, the nose may become irritated.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
