How To Use A Nasal Rinse Effectively

The ancient technique known as “nasal rinsing” — or “sinus irrigation” — is a simple, all-natural way to cleanse nasal and sinus passages. Learn how to breathe freely using Afrin PureSea Nasal Rinse.

Step 1: Prep

As you prepare to rinse with Afrin PureSea, begin to breathe through your mouth and continue doing so throughout the process. This helps you avoid inhaling through your nose while rinsing. The nasal rinse is used by flushing the fluid through one nostril, and draining out the other nostril.

Step 2: Bend

Place the nasal applicator on the top of the container. Bend your head forward and tilt it to the side.

Step 3: Rinse

Place the tip of the applicator in your upper nostril and press the applicator down so the fluid flows through your upper nostril and out your lower nostril. You can experiment with tilting your head at different angles to find your ideal position for the most comfortable rinse.

Step 4: Repeat

Tilt your head to the other side and repeat step 3 with the other nostril. Because Afrin PureSea nasal rinse is non-medicated, you can use as much and as little of it each time rinse.

Step 5: Remove

Remove the applicator from the top of the bottle. Rinse the applicator and top of the bottle thoroughly after each use. It’s best to store the afrin puresea at room temperature so the water is not too cold next time you do a rinse.
