Saline Solution for Your Neti Pot

What is the best saline solution for your Neti Pot?

You have several options. You can use a premade solution or do it the old-fashioned way and make your own at home.

The basic solution is:

  • Approximately 1/2 cup/up to 8 ounces of lukewarm water
  • 1/4 teaspoon of NON-iodized salt

Make sure the salt is completely dissolved into the water.

You may find that in the beginning you want to reduce the amount of salt. Here is a little tip for making and using your saline solution: start with a small amount of salt, if it feels like it is "stinging" a bit in your nose, ADD more salt.

Your Neti Pot and Saline Solution is ready to use. Enjoy!
