@heathert Thanks! Do you make your own saline solution? If not, where do you get it? I've been making my own nasal flush solutions from sea salt and distilled water. (Btw, there were other aspects to the article, but they didn't seem as relevant to our discussion here.)

@lorifilipek I get a script from my specialist for the saline, much easier. I think your info from the article was spot on. 🙂

@lorifilipek ...We could use you here in FL with our Red Tide and Algae Crisis...sounds like interesting work. Thanks for your summary on the article. I asked my GP to prescribe the hypertonic 7% saline solution. It comes in premeasured little pippets. (I used to make my saline solution for my nettie pot but would not know how to get a 7% solution for nebulizing) The pippets are great to use for nebulizing...no mess, correct salinity, pre measured and my insurance covers most all of it. I cannot tell you what a difference the nebulizing has made for my breathing. It also makes you cough and bring up some of those mucous plugs. Somehow my breathing is a lot easier since starting the practice twice a day. Kate
