Good scientific evidence suggests that nasal irrigation can effectively treat allergic rhinitis. 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 hot, the nose may become irritated.Copyright 2007 Natural Standard, Inc. |
