Nasal Saline Solution and Dusty Air
One of the facts of life living in most places in the world is that the air is not very clean. In fact a lot of times it is plain dusty. You might say there is “stuff” in it. So you also might say that this air is not very healthy. As you might expect, this unclean air irritates the tissues in the nose and one of the things that happens is that the nose swells up.
There is a predictable sequence that happens to the head once the nose starts swelling up. First it’s harder to breath through the nose. Then it starts to become easier to breath through the mouth. Finally the person is breathing through the mouth all of the time and then the mouth gets very dry. No fun.
Without trying to sound too dogmatic I think there is really only one good “solution” to this problem: wash the stuff out of the nose. This has all of the positive virtue of making sense but still a negative because of the different opinions as to how this can best be done. Should it be salt water? if so, how much? How strong should it be?
I don’t want to make it sound like an emergency to get the junk and dust irrigated out of the nose. The body does have some self cleaning mechanisms after all. However if you’re getting exposed to this unclean air on a regular basis then the body’s systems just won’t work to clean out the junk that is stuck on the surface of the nose.
I believe that it is important to have a way to clean the nose, to get rid of the things that are building up. You might already have a good way of doing this and if so more power to you. If, however, you don’t have a good strategy, I suggest making a home made nasal saline solution and using it liberally. When you make it at home you have the added advantage of avoiding the preservatives used in store bought sprays.
So why is this important? What difference does it make to use preservatives or not in a nasal saline solution or spray? The biggest reason is that the preservatives are not inert. They actually cause damage and more swelling to the nasal lining! So have a strategy to clean your nasal passages. I suggest making the solution at home to avoid the preservatives. Now that’s a solution!
