Nasaline is a unique, patented, drug-free nasal rinsing system designed by a team of Swedish ear, nose, and throat specialists. With the simple use of saline solution, Nasaline effectively washes away unwanted mucus, crusty secretions or allergens and provides relief from symptoms associated with allergies, colds, the flu and other sinus related infections. After a prolonged stay in dry, dusty, or smoky environments, Nasaline cleans and soothes the nasal passages, reducing nasal irritation and moistening the mucous membranes.

Nasaline is a patented nasal rinsing system that consists of a 2 oz. syringe, a silicone tip, saline and a storage/travel case. The silicone tip was designed to fit most noses in such a way as to completely seal the nostril opening. The channel inside the tip is formed in the shape of an hourglass, producing a gentle swirl stream when the saline solution enters the nose. The silicone tip does not contain latex and is safe for direct contact with the skin.
The Nasaline syringe delivery system has many advantages:
The patented silicone tip is:

1. Mix 1 packet (1/2 teaspoon) of Nasaline salt into 1 cup (8 ounces) of warm water (ca 2.5 grams salt into 1/4 liter water). Stir to dissolve the salt.
2. Extract the saline solution into the Nasaline applicator.
3. Stand (or sit) slightly bent over a bathroom sink, washbasin, or bathtub. Put the silicone tip against the nose so that it completely seals the nostril. Slowly push the saline solution up into the nostril. Breathe normally (or say aaah...) through the mouth and refrain from swallowing.
When the saline solution reaches the back of the nasal cavity, the palate closes automatically by reflex. The saline solution fills the nasal cavity and proceeds to pour out of the other nostril as it brings along unwanted mucus and crusty secretions.
Occasionally, some of the saline solution can trickle down the throat. This is not harmful. A proper flushing should take anywhere from 3-7 seconds per nostril depending on level of congestion, narrowness of ones nasal passages or personal preference. Repeat the process for the other nostril.
4. Use a tissue to gently blow out any remaining saline solution in the nose. Some of the saline solution can remain in the nose and trickle out a few hours later. Tilting your head forward and turning side to side immediately after flushing can prevent this. If you are severely congested, the saline solution can reach the sinus channels and can occasionally drip out of the eyes. This is not harmful and can be prevented by flushing more slowly.
Pull out the plunger from the cylinder and rinse both parts with warm water and let air-dry. The Nasaline applicator can also be cleaned with a mild dishwashing detergent. When not in use, we recommend that you store the Nasaline applicator with the plunger inserted into the cylinder to prevent the rubber surrounding the plunger from swelling. If the plunger does not easily slide back into the chamber, put a drop of olive oil on the plunger's black rubber ring.
Heat fresh clean tap water or use water directly from the tap. The water temperature should be at (or close to) body temperature and feel comfortable to the touch. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt into 8 ounces of warm water (ca 2.5 grams salt into 1/4 liter water). Stir to dissolve the salt. The saline solution now has the same salt content as the human body (0.9%) - this is a called physiological saline solution. IMPORTANT: If you feel discomfort or a light stinging feeling in your nose when you flush, you may be adding too much or too little salt.
If you are planning to use Nasaline for an extended period of time, non-iodized salt should be used to prevent any allergic reactions that may develop from the iodine or the algae frequently found in sea salts. We recommend using Nasaline Salt, which is 99.99% pure sodium chloride and does not contain any additives or preservatives.
