Nasal Lavage

Posted by bronchiectasaurus @bronchiectasaurus, Apr 6 4:14pm

Anyone else do nasal lavage? I can go months without needing it, but lately I’ve been super grateful for it because it’s allergy season. Rinsing my sinuses out with salinated distilled water doesn’t directly treat my bronchiectasis, but indirectly it improves my respiration because it reduces inflammation in my sinuses. It was part of the protocol of the guy who wrote “Beating Bronchiectasis” too. I’m such a convert I want to read about others’ experiences with it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Currently I am using Arm and Hammer Saline Nasal Mist and also using the Pari SinuStar with 7% saline. The SinuStar can be kept sterile plus you just breath it in and it never touches your nose. Hoping that combination will be enough to keep sinus area from developing Pseudo build up.

I do nasal Lavage almost everyday cuz my nose doesn't clear easily. I dont get sick when others do. Usually Lavage produces green mucus and my airway clearance is clear to light yellow. Can't believe I am talking about this stuff! Lol
