Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 teaspoons Non-iodized salt (pure salt, no additives like anti-caking agents)
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda (optional, to reduce sting)
- 8 ounces Distilled or previously boiled water
Instructions
Start by ensuring that all equipment, including the neti pot and any measuring utensils, is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.
If using tap water, boil it for 5 minutes to sterilize, then let it cool to a lukewarm temperature. Alternatively, use distilled water directly without boiling.
In a clean container, combine 0.5 teaspoons of non-iodized salt with 0.25 teaspoons of baking soda (optional).
Pour 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water into the container with the salt and (optional) baking soda.
Stir the mixture until all the salt and baking soda are completely dissolved.
Pour the prepared saline solution into your neti pot and use immediately according to your neti pot's instructions.
Dispose of any leftover saline solution. Do not store or reuse.
Thoroughly clean and dry your neti pot after use.
