Nasal Sinus Irrigation
By Charlie on Nov 7, 2009 in Hearing & Orthepedic
Is it okay to snort *very* diluted concentrations of tea tree oil? Advice required?
I have seen commercially produced nasal irrigation products, such as Fess, which contain small amounts of tea tree oil.
I regularly use (snort) salt water to clean out my sinuses.
Would it be okay to put a couple of drops of 15% tea tree oil (already diluted) into a pint of salt water and snort that, to help neutralise any bacteria in my sinuses?
I’ve done it already today after buying some tea tree oil, and it didn’t hurt at all – just left my nose feeling very fresh.
Is this ok to do regularly? It’s only 2 drops of 15% in a whole UK pint of water.
Also, have any of you used a nettie pot? Is this more effective than snorting salt water from, say, a spoon?
Thanks in advance for your advice..
The neti pot is much more effective than “snorting” water. There is no force behind the flow of the salt water from the neti pot.
Salt is the only recommended product to go into a nasal cleanse. If you use a neti pot regularly you probably won’t need to consider adding essential oils to the salt water.
