A sinus wash is a treatment used to assist with a variety of sinus conditions. The purpose of a sinus wash is typically to flush out the nasal cavity. Cleansing the sinus area is beneficial for nasal hygiene and many sinus conditions, assisting with mucociliary clearance and moistening the nasal cavity. The benefit of cleansing the nasal passages has been found to be helpful in improving quality of life and reducing the need for medications.
Sinus washes are useful in reducing the symptoms of the common cold as well as chronic sinus conditions. For instance, a sinus wash is helpful when a person is suffering with sinusitis, a sinus condition that is recognized by inflammation of the nasal passages. When the mucosa of the nasal passages is inflamed, a sinus wash is beneficial in clearing out bacteria and debris trapped in the sinus area. The mucosa found inside the sinus passage is the delicate lining of the inner nasal surface also found around the area of the nasal passages. The usual symptoms of sinusitis include increased nasal secretion, pain or headache around the sinuses.
Symptoms related to sinusitis include blockage of the ostium. The ostium is the opening of the sinus passages. When the ostium is blocked nasal congestion, runny or stuffy nose, white or yellow discharge, headache, coughs, persistent fatigue and fever likely occur giving rise to sinus conditions.
It is normal for some amount of mucous production from the nasal and sinus lining. However, after exposure to allergens and bacteria the immune response to allergies and infections is the production of histamine which is excessive mucous needed to clear out the pathogens in the sinus cavity. The production of nasal and sinus mucous produce the symptom of stuffy or runny nose and post nasal drip. Histamine results in excessive mucus and it is part of the process of the body protecting itself from foreign bodies. A sinus rinse or nose rinse is one way of relieving the symptoms of excessive mucus production. When the sinus rinse is performed, you wash away excess mucous containing allergens such as pollen, dust particles, pollutants and bacteria, thus reducing inflammation of the mucous membrane. Following a sinus wash, normal mucosa will fight infections and allergies better and symptoms will be reduced or even cured.
The items used for a sinus wash are typically a large volume of saline solution or water of at least 2 oz. to 4 oz. The process of washing the sinuses entails taking some of the solution, either in a nasal device or cupped hands, and pouring the saline water into each nasal passage with low pressure. Gently squeeze or direct the saline solution up into your nose, the flow should continue upwards, going over the septum and flow through your other nostril. The saline solution moving over the septum ensures that all allergens, excessive mucous or other foreign materials in the sinus path flow are removed from the nasal passages. Repeat this procedure until an improvement in the flow cycle of respiration occurs. An improvement in breathing and congestion will likely not be experienced until you have effectively performed a thorough nasal cleansing.
A relatively large volume of saline solution creates a momentum needed to sweep away allergens, excess mucous, pollutants, house dust and animal dander present in the nasal passage in the path of the saline solution flow. The saline solution flow is administered to one nostril and eventually exits out of the other nostril. While removing mucous allergens and debris from the delicate internal tissue of the nose, a low pressure will ensure that nasal lining is not irritated. It is necessary to pour any fluid into the sinus passages carefully especially when there is inflammation present.
