A Naväge

Here's how Naväge works: Saline enters the nose through one nostril, flows to the back of one side of the nasal cavity, makes a U-turn at the posterior margin of the nasal septum (that's the gap between the rear edge of the nasal septum and the rear wall of the nasal cavity), flows back through the other side of the ...

If you are extremely congested, space is limited in the nasal cavity and irrigating will be slow at first. You may need to start and stop a few times to loosen the mucus and break up the congestion.

You can use the Naväge Nose Cleaner as often as you wish!

'” The CDC also recommends boiling tap water for 1 minute (or 3 minutes at elevations above 6,500 feet). Tap water, especially well water, has natural bacteria or amoebas that could cause a deadly infection. One harmful microorganism is a brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri.

New User Water Tip

It should be lukewarm to the touch and not hotter than about 85°– 90°F (29°– 32°C). WARNING: DO NOT USE TAP WATER UNLESS STERILIZED BY BOILING.

Nasal rinses can be done at any time of day.

The underlying problem is that viruses and bacteria from your nose may be transferred to the device, under the right circ*mstances of temperature and humidity, the germs may colonize and then be reintroduced into the nose upon subsequent use.

"What if the fluid doesn't come out my other nostril when I rinse? Yes, it is possible to get water stuck in your sinuses from a sinus rinse. This can happen if your sinuses are swollen or if your head is not tilted properly. If you feel like water is stuck, keep your head upright for a while and try blowing your nose.

Your congestion can feel worse after a sinus rinse if you use only water rather than the saline solution. It can cause swelling in the nasal passages, making symptoms worse. Water from the neti pot can get stuck in your sinuses if you don't tilt your head correctly.

Often referred to as 'Nature's Decongestant', the Naväge nasal hygiene system is promoted by doctors who specialize in the field. According to Dr. Howard Levine, “Nasal irrigation is clinically proven to relieve sinus congestion safely and effectively without drugs.

Usually, there are no side effects. Some people experience burning or stinging in their noses after doing nasal irrigation. If this happens, reduce the amount of salt you use in your saline solution. Also, make sure that boiled water has cooled to lukewarm before you use it.

The Naväge Nose Cleaner is engineered so the “before-rinse” (clean saline) and the “after-rinse” (waste saline) never touch. This makes the risk of spreading germs from one user to another relatively low. That said, the best practice hygienically is for each user to have his or her own device.

Side effects of sinus rinsing

The most common issues resulting from a nasal rinse are a burning or stinging sensation in the nose and mild irritation in the nasal passages. To make your nasal rinse more comfortable, make sure to use a saline solution instead of plain water, which can aggravate the inside of your nose.

A Naväge cycle can last from about 10 seconds to a minute, depending on personal anatomy and congestion. Most cycles last from 20 to 30 seconds. The cycle is complete when the upper tank is empty. For persons with a deviated septum the irrigation cycle may take longer depending on how deviated the septum is.
