I have a home distiller. I use my own distilled water for boiling my airway clearance devices. Not only am I in control of the distiller, I also don't need to lug jugs of distilled water maqde in some factory home from the grocery. I don't currently use a nasal rinse but I think I would be confident using my home brew distilled water.
My respirologist said that even distilled water needs to be boiled for 10 minutes for a sinus rinse.
Thank you, Sue, so much for this detailed info! So I warmed up my sterilized, boiled drinking water in the microwave and used it for my nasal rinse. Since I don’t have my syringes (that I can boil for my nasal rinses), I used the plastic bottles that came in the kit. I sanitized them in my WABI.
Geez does this ever get less complicated! 😆
I’ve been in an apartment for the last several months.
I am definitely getting paranoid after reading that article. Maybe my paranoia will dissipate after I take my COLD, SHORT showers for now on!
