Saline sprays help flush out dust, mucous, and allergies gently to prevent infections, keeping your nasal hygiene optimal. To avoid infections, always use sterile water and clean equipment.

Rainwater can contain pollutants and germs, which can lead to catching a cold and an infection. While going outside in the rain, always make sure to carry an umbrella or a raincoat.

Drinking enough water aids in removing mucus that is clogged in the sinuses. Increasing your fluid intake may help relieve sinus issues and congestion in your nose.

Inhaling steam offers comfort by reducing mucus, sinus pressure, and irritated airways. Boil water, add 2-3 drops of eucalyptus oil, and inhale steam under a towel for 10 minutes per day.
