Benefits of Nasal Irrigation

October 26, 2018

Nasal irrigation has been used in several types of traditional treatments for over a thousand years. The most well-known of these is Ayurvedic medicine, where nasal irrigation is an important part of proper breathing technique and overall health. In fact, it is still taught in yoga classes around the world.

Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the benefits of nasal and sinus irrigation using high volume and low pressure. Nasal and sinus irrigation is highly recommended as a stand-alone treatment or as an adjunct to conventional medical treatment, associated with many inflammatory disorders of the nose and sinuses.

The exact mechanism by which nasal irrigation provides benefits remains unclear, but is thought to be related to surface cleaning of the mucosa with removal of bacteria, reduction of dust and allergens, and relief of dryness by hydrating the mucosa.

ProbioRinse ™ is unique because it combines the benefits of nasal saline irrigation with the addition of a probiotic bacteria. By incorporating the freeze-dried probiotic Lactocccus lactis W136 into the convenient single-serve sachets containing the buffered saline mixture, the probiotic is reconstituted at the time of solution manufacture, so a fresh probiotic rinse solution is used every time.
