Generally speaking, whether it is a nasal wash or a spray, the liquid used is saline. But there is a difference between physiological saline and physiological seawater. The effect of the two on rhinitis is also different. Physiological seawater & physiological saline

1) Physiological seawater is a desalinated 0.9% sodium chloride solution, which is the same as physiological saline, but seawater contains abundant trace elements that physiological saline does not have, such as copper, zinc and silver. Among them, zinc and silver are considered to be antiseptic elements, and copper is considered to be an anti-inflammatory element. So sea salt water also has some antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. This is very beneficial for relieving the symptoms of rhinitis.

2) Physiological saline is the ordinary artificial by mixing water and salt in a certain proportion into a liquid. The ingredients are simple, only water and sodium chloride, so it does not have a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. Both are the same in terms of safety, there are no side effects on the human body, but some studies have shown that the efficacy of physiological seawater for rhinitis is better than physiological saline. So the ingredients of the nasal spray are still mainly physiological seawater.

In addition to the difference in working principle, what is the difference in the efficacy of the two for rhinitis?

Generally speaking, whether it is saline nasal wash or nasal spray, the osmotic pressure value of the ingredients is close to that of human body fluids, so it is suitable for the epithelial cilia of the nasal mucosa to swing and expel the dirty things.

Saline nasal wash can play a good role in irrigation, and with the impact of saline and water flow, it can make allergens, germs, inflammatory secretions and other dirty things in the nasal cavity discharged quickly and restore the clean function of the nasal cavity itself.

The nasal spray is delivered to various parts of the nasal cavity through a mist-like liquid, which enables the spray to penetrate deep into the roots of the nasal cilia, moisten the nasal mucosa, and at the same time decongest and reduce nasal congestion and rhinitis.
