1. The difference between nasal wash and nasal spray
1. Nasal wash is a tool for cleaning the nasal cavity. Adjust and control the switch of the one-way water outlet valve and the one-way air inlet valve by applying pressure on the elastic bottle body and the speed of relaxation speed by hand, and send the special nasal wash into the nostrils and flow through the nasal vestibule, sinuses, nasal passages, etc. The tract bypasses the nasopharynx, or exits through one nostril, or exits the mouth. Through the above path, with the help of the bactericidal effect of the physiological saline and the impact force of the water flow, the pathogenic and contaminants that have accumulated in the nasal cavity are discharged, so as to restore the normal physiological environment of the nasal cavity, restore the self-detoxification function of the nasal cavity, and protect the nasal cavity. the goal of.
2. The nasal spray must be designed with a small amount of water, rather than a few hundred milliliters of water like the water column type. The water consumption of the general spray type is about 10 ml each time, and the water storage capacity of the general nozzle is also designed in this way. Some water-column nasal washes can be sprayed by changing heads, also known as spray nasal washes, which is actually unscientific. It can be called the same, but it cannot achieve the function of a real spray nasal wash.
Second, which is better between nasal wash and nasal spray
Nasal irrigation, which is to send saline to one nostril through the nasal wash, It flows through the nasal vestibule, sinus drainage openings, nasal passages, around the nasopharynx, and then exits through the other nostril. With the help of physiological saline and the impact of water flow, it can effectively remove dirt, bacteria, etc. in the nasal cavity, and restore the normal physiological function of the nasal mucosa.
The nasal spray is to spray the saline into the nasal cavity in the form of a spray through a nasal sprayer, and then blow it out, so as to achieve the purpose of moisturizing the nasal cavity and relieving nasal inflammation. But it does not remove dust, bacteria, viruses, pollen, etc. from the nasal cavity.
From this we can see that there is a big difference in how nasal rinses and nasal sprays work. Nasal irrigation focuses more on removing harmful substances in the nasal cavity by rinsing, while nasal spray is more focused on spraying physiological saline evenly into the nasal cavity to moisten the nasal cavity.
What the nasal cavity of patients with rhinitis or allergic rhinitis needs most is to clean the dust, bacteria, viruses, pollen and other allergens in the nasal cavity out of the nasal cavity. Experts believe that at least 250ml of normal saline is needed to clean one side of the nasal cavity, and it is best to prepare about 500ml of normal saline for cleaning both sides of the nasal cavity.
Introduced by the difference between nasal wash and nasal spray above, we can choose nasal wash or nasal spray according to our needs.
