Nasal Rinse

I went a long period with not Nasal Rinsing in the last year.   It got put on the "Just nother thing I don't have time to view".  Except when I didn't do it, I would not get enough oxygen, and I would slowly or fastly fall asleep, fepending on how much junk is in there.

I have been doing it regularly for more than 2 weeks, and can see a difference.   I am alert more often.

I stopped nasal rinsing 2 decades ago when one foggy-brained morning I forgot to put the nasal rinse salt in the distilled water.   at the time, I described it as squirting acid up my nose,  It hurt so bad, it was disabling.  I couldn't do anything or think of anything to alleviate the pain.  This continued for severeal minutes.

I did not figure out that it was the absent of salt in the nasal rinse that caused the pain for 15 years.  That is when I decided to do Nasal rinses again.  I forgot the salt today.  Since I knew what it was, it did not seem too hurt so bad.  It was not disabling.  I figured out immediately that the thing to do was quickly add salt to the rinse container, and re-fill to the top with distilled water.  One squirt took away 90% of the pain.  Next squirt, pain was gone.
