How to use: Shake bottle before each use so the oil mixes with the saline solution. Mist/Spray each nostril with solution several times daily. Do this til symptoms improve.
Why it works:
Saline nasal spray clears out mucus and crusts in your nasal passages that are causing you to feel stuffed up. Using saline nasal spray or irrigation also helps cleanse your nasal passages, washing away pollen and other things that cause allergy symptoms. Saline sprays can reduce thick mucus secretions in the sinuses and nose.
Tea tree oil can help relieve sinus congestion by reducing inflammation. Tea tree oil is known for its antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Its expectorant properties can loosen mucus.
