Q: Does a person absorb enough of the salt in a nasal saline wash to raise blood pressure?
A: Nasal saline washes are made to have the same salt concentration as the body. This means you can wash the inside of your nose with the solution without getting a significant absorption of salt into the body. Proper use of a balanced nasal irrigation solution will not increase blood pressure. Let the solution fall out of your nose or mouth, you don’t want to swallow it.

Using distilled water with a Netipot is best. Himalayan pink salt is best followed by Xlear nasal spray with Xylitol, which kills bacteria naturally.
do not use a nasal spray & neti pot…together…..defeats the purpose
Even better, use the NeilMeds bottle. It is the simply the best tool for the job. It beats the hell out of the neti pot. You can make your own saline solution or buy theirs.
