Salt Water Rinse for the Nose

By jmax

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 heaping teaspoons of "pickling/canning" salt
• 1 rounded teaspoon baking soda
• 1 quart tap or bottled water

Preparation

Step 1

Carefully clean and rinse a 1 quart jar. Fill the clean jar with tap water or bottled water. You do not have to boil the water.

Add 2 to 3 heaping teaspoons of pickling / canning salt. DO NOT use table salt.

Add 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda.

Stir or shake before each use. Store at room temperature. After a week, pour out any mixture that is left over and make a new batch.

If the mixture seems too strong, use less salt. With children start with 1 1/2 teaspoons canning salt.
