We think mucus is our enemy but in reality mucus is a protection against any kind of viruses, bacteria or any kind of chemicals in your air that your body is being exposed to.

But the problem starts happening when this mucus never goes away and our body is producing more and more mucus on a daily basis and this mucus actually becomes a breeding ground for bacterial infections, viral infections as well as sometimes even fungal infections. And this is where majority of the people are struggling because either they have to constantly take antibiotics or steroids to get rid of this mucus or to open up your sinuses or even to improve your lungs.

So I recommend doing sinus rinses especially during the fall, winter and spring season so you can get rid of all the chemicals, all the pollen as well as mucus from your sinuses. What is the best way of doing it? For this you need 1 cup of water. Make sure either it is distilled water or it is a clean water which is coming from a great water filter. Then you need half a teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt and 1-4 teaspoons of baking soda. For the sinus rinse, you will either need a neti pot or a sinus rinse bottle.

And then you fill your neti pot or your sinus rinse bottle with this mixture of water, salt and baking soda in the proportion I shared with you. If your neti pot or sinus rinse bottle holds more than 1 cup of water, So then you can add additional water and additional salt and baking soda in the concentration I shared with you before. Then you lean over the sink, you tilt your head 45 degree at an angle and you gently pour this mixture into your left nostril and you let it flow gently out from your right nostril.

And then after that you switch sides and you repeat the whole process on the other nostril. After you're done with this, just gently blow your nose, not too hard, just to get rid of any additional water that might be present in your sinuses or in your nose. and you are done. Now couple of things to remember over here, do not use hot water. You need cool water for sinus rinses and make sure your water is completely clean and then follow the proportion which I shared with you of the salt and baking soda.

Do not add more because that can irritate your sinuses too. What is the best time of doing it? Again if you do it in the morning because that's the time your sinus has accumulated too much chemicals and mucus during the night time.
