Don't block the tips against the inside walls of your nose. Less pressure usually results in more flow. Reverse the direction of flow. Rotate the Nasal Dock 180 degrees and the saline will then flow in the opposite direction.

Conclusion: Despite standardized instructions for the preparation of saline irrigation solutions, many patients use untreated tap water. The extremely rare, but typically fatal, risk of meningoencephalitis from Naegleria fowlerii makes this a potential health hazard.

Tap water isn't safe for use as a nasal rinse because it's not adequately filtered or treated. Some tap water contains low levels of organisms — such as bacteria and protozoa, including amoebas — that may be safe to swallow because stomach acid kills them.

Nasal irrigation is safe when it's done correctly. There's a slight risk of infection if you use contaminated water.

On Wednesday, researchers linked a second kind of deadly amoeba to nasal rinsing. WATCH: Why does it hurt to get water up your nose?

No, boiled water is not the same as distilled water. Boiling water kills bacteria and other organisms, but it doesn't remove all impurities such as minerals and salts. Distilled water, on the other hand, is water that has been boiled into steam and then cooled to return it to its liquid state.

Nasal irrigation, also known as sinus rinsing, is the practice of moving a saline (saltwater) solution through your nasal passages to clear out mucus and flush out debris and allergens. Irrigation devices, such as neti pots, squeeze bottles and rubber nasal bulbs, push the water through one nostril and out the other.

The swelling of the lining also interferes with the way mucus normally drains, making your nose stuffy. Sinusitis can be brought on by an infection; growths in the sinuses, such as nasal polyps; or swelling of the lining of your sinuses due to conditions such as allergies.

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.

It won't prevent sinus issues and can cause infections to develop. Your sinuses and nasal passages are lined with good mucus — it traps the irritants and germs that enter your nostrils and can kill some bacteria. Regular flushing can hinder those protective features and increase the risk of infection.
