【 Laiwo Medical: Knowledge Sharing 】 Arbor Day: "Plant" this green, embrace spring, rhinitis party, look quickly, don't step on thunder!
Publish Date： 2025/3/11
In the spring of March, with grass growing and birds flying, the spring scenery is just right. We welcome the important festival of promoting green environment and ecological balance - Arbor Day. As the earth warms up, tender green buds emerge one after another, and people also leave their homes, busy with hiking and admiring flowers, enjoying the warm sunshine and breeze of spring.
However, in this beautiful season, patients with rhinitis will face great challenges. As trees grow, the air is filled with various pollen and plant particles, which can cause symptoms such as sneezing, nasal mucus, and nasal congestion if these "unwelcome guests" are not careful. In order to effectively address the problem of spring rhinitis, flushing the nasal cavity with saline has become a highly recommended method. However, although this method may seem simple, it is easy to "step on lightning"!
Minefield 1: Randomly adjust the concentration of saltwater
Many people mix their own edible salt with water at home and control the concentration based on their feelings. Little do they know that high or low concentrations can worsen symptoms.
The correct approach
★ Use physiological saline (0.9% sodium chloride), or mix it proportionally (4.5 grams of iodized salt+500ml of warm water)
★ Priority should be given to selecting finished nasal wash salt packs (marked as "isotonic" or "hypertonic" according to medical advice)
Minefield 2: Rinse directly with tap water or unsterilized water
Many people will rinse directly with tap water or mineral water, as bacteria in tap water may cause nasal infections, and minerals in mineral water may also irritate mucous membranes.
The correct approach
★ Rinse with boiled and cooled warm water (around 37 ℃) or sterilized distilled water
★ Avoid using unpasteurized raw water
Compared with the manufacturing troubles and potential risks of self-made saline rinse, seawater nasal spray has become a more ideal choice due to its scientifically proportioned ingredients, mild and non irritating characteristics. In addition, Levo Medical reminds you to actively take scientific protective measures, such as wearing masks when going out, reducing outdoor activities, and maintaining indoor cleanliness, which can effectively alleviate symptoms of rhinitis. May we enjoy health and freedom during this beautiful season, free from the troubles of rhinitis.
