This can be useful when there is congestion from inflammation, such as with colds, and for simply cleaning out dust and pollution, but please be aware that Staphylococcus aureus, the most common bacteria to be lodged in the cavity behind the nose, which causes the normal (and essential) mucus produced there to be characteristically more yellow and thicker, as it is increasingly loaded with the bacteria, absolutely thrives in a salt environment - and this product is entirely variations of salt - especially as other competing bacteria are eliminated by the salt.

A colony of Staphylococcus aureus is present in the post-nasal cavity in a large proportion of the population, just as it is present on the outer skin of almost everyone, and is virtually impossible to remove. The thickened mucus can tend to block the nose, sinuses and eustachian tubes - making the ears feel blocked, and potentially leading to infections in the ear, including the balance organs. And mucus that runs down from the rear of the nose, lubricating and protecting the throat and airway, would also be thickened and build up on the vocal cords.

Furthermore, the Staphylococcus aureus normally found can instead be the highly dangerous "MRSA" (which is immune to most antibiotics) that causes so many deaths to vulnerable people, such as after surgeries. That variation of Staphylococcus aureus equally thrives in salt. If you use this product watch out for these problems.

A weak, and mild soap solution can kill Staphylococcus aureus, but might not be acceptable where this product is meant to be used. There is a competing product that contains both salt and baking soda, which may be better.

Great, will unstop sinuses for long-lasting sinus rehabilitation when nothing else will, if used regularly.
