Mix the salt and baking soda into the warm water until they dissolve completely. Once it’s ready, you can use a nasal spray bottle or a neti pot to apply the solution.
Tilt your head to one side and gently pour or spray the saline into the upper nostril, allowing it to drain out the other side.
Repeat on the other side. You’ll feel relief as the saline clears your sinuses. Additionally, using a saline solution can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, promoting better airflow.
