Nasal Irrigation
I got this recipe from a couple of different ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctors. But was told years later, by still another ENT doctor, that the Vodka was not neccessary. I have used this for over 30 years now. After the kids had grown and moved out, I found out the one of my daughters had been drinking my Vodka and refilling the bottle with water. Good thing I didn't really need it. LOL (good thing for her, she wasn't caught)

DIRECTIONS
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- Using a bulb syring and holding your head over a sink or toilet bowl, flush the water up one nostril.
- If the passage ways are clear, the water should come back out the other nostril.
- Sometimes it will just come back out the same nostril.
- Some will go down your throat, but that is ok.
- I have found that the warmer the water is the better it works at loosening the gunk, but you don't want it to be hot.
- Some people use this like"Ocean".
- A nasal moisturizer.
