The first step is to create a saline solution. Typically, this is done by mixing warm, sterile water with pure salt, known as sodium chloride, to create an isotonic solution.

While you can create your own saline solution at home, it’s recommended that you purchase over-the-counter premixed saline packets.

It’s crucial to use sterile water for this step. This is due to the risk of a serious infection with a parasitic amoeba called Naegleria fowleri. Once this amoeba enters the sinuses, it makes its way to the brain and causes a fatal infection.

You can sterilize your water by boiling it for a minute and then allowing it to cool.

To clear your sinuses, follow these steps:

1. Stand with your head over a sink or in the shower and tilt your head to one side.
2. Using a squeeze bottle, bulb syringe, or neti pot, pour or squeeze the saline solution slowly into the upper nostril.
3. Allow the solution to pour out your other nostril and into the drain. Breathe through your mouth, not your nose, at this time.
4. Repeat on the opposite side.
5. Try not to let the water go down the back of your throat. You may need to adjust your head position until you find the correct angle.
6. Gently blow your nose into a tissue when you’re done to clear out any mucus.

If you’ve recently had sinus surgery, resist the urge to blow your nose for four to seven days following the procedure.

Shop for a neti pot, bulb syringe, and saline solution.
