The Right Mineral Salt Rinse For Your Neti Pot
If you’re new to natural treatments to decongest your sinuses, a neti pot, which flushes salt water into your sinuses, might seem like a strange concept. Physicians and health institutes have been sounding the alarm on over-medicating with antibiotics for years now, and people have started turning back to centuries-old home remedies that truly work and are safe.
Flushing your sinuses with salt water is one of the methods that doctors recommend as an effective treatment for congestion and infection. Studies have show that mineral sea salts are more effective in reducing inflammation than sodium chloride salts. Baraka specializes in sinus remedies and our products are an effective, safe, and natural way to treat sinus infections and clear the sinuses.
What Is A Mineral Salt Rinse?
Salt has been recorded in medical use since 1600 B.C. Egyptian and Greek doctors prescribed it as a saline solution in water to treat infected wounds. Salt is still used today to promote natural healing and has been recommended by dentists as a mouth rinse after tooth extraction and even as part of a daily regimen to keep gums healthy. Salt also reduces inflammation and bacterial growth – two primary culprits of sinus problems – and has therefore been used in ayurvedic medicine to treat problems in the sinuses for centuries.
The table salt that is readily available in stores today is highly processed, includes additives, and isn’t generally recommended for healing purposes. Using standard table salt as a saline rinse in a neti pot can result in an uncomfortable experience. There are all kinds of things in it, like anti-caking agents and iodine that, while great for many purposes, can cause an unpleasant burning sensation when flushing out the sinuses!
Baraka Mineral Sea Salt Rinse, on the other hand, is closer to your body’s ph levels and is harvested from the pristine Atlantic waters off of the Noirmoutier island of France – certified by the ACTOA (L’Association de Controle Tiers Ouest Atlantique) as a region free from pollutants. This makes the salt harvested here one of the best high-level, natural mineral salt. The specific composition of the salt used in our Mineral Sea Salt Rinse not only offers one of the best natural ways to clear sinuses, it’s also one of the most comfortable.
Natural Way To Clear Sinuses And Treat Sinus Infection
Using a neti pot as a sinus rinse has many inherent advantages. Your sinuses have a narrow opening called the ostium to allow mucus to drain with the help of gravity. But many people have a narrow ostium because of genetics or trauma. While everyone – regardless of anatomical differences – will experience some blockage and congestion from time to time, those with narrow passages are more likely to suffer from sinus pain, pressure, and even infection.
In fact, a failure to drain mucus properly can lead to almost debilitating pressure or infection and put your body at risk of too many bacteria and viruses to fight off. Antibacterial medication can have unpleasant side effects and make those germs resistant to antibiotics over time. Steroids or even surgery are other costly and invasive treatments that some consider to relieve chronic sinus issues.
However, if you’re looking for a natural treatment for sinus infection or pressure, a neti pot sinus rinse is a proven way to manually facilitate proper irrigation. It’s recommended as effective by many doctors, and it’s easy to do!
How To Rinse Sinuses With A Neti Pot
The process of using your neti pot to rinse your sinuses is easy and using baraka mineral sea salt rinse instead of regular table salt offers additional benefits – it won’t burn while doing the rinse. All you need to do is:
- Fill the pot with distilled or boiled water and let cool to room temperature.
- Add ½ teaspoon of our Mineral Sea Salt Rinse and stir until it’s dissolved.
- Bend over the sink and turn your head to one side with the pot level and its spout in one nostril.
- Breathe through your mouth as you tilt your head allowing the saline solution to go through your sinuses and drain from the opposite nostril.
- Then, blow your nose to release any mucus or salt mixture left.

How A Neti Pot Sinus Rinse Will Make You Feel Better
Mucus can become trapped in your sinuses because of inflammation and narrow passages. This causes that uncomfortable feeling of pressure behind your face you are undoubtedly familiar with. Climate and allergens are usually responsible for the inflammation and using a neti pot to rinse the excess mucus in your sinuses will alleviate the pressure. Flushing out the mucus also gets rid of what is sticking to it, like pollen, pet dander, bacteria, and viruses that will make you sick.
Who Should Be Using A Mineral Salt Rinse
You might think that using mineral salts to flush your sinuses is something only specific people should use, like chronic allergy sufferers, but the truth is everyone can benefit from it. Sinuses are the front-line defenders against harmful viruses, bacteria, and even pollutants from entering your bloodstream. The sooner these are discharged from mucus the better, but certain factors beyond your control will eventually stop the sinuses from functioning as they should. Introducing a flush with a neti pot into your health regimen has the potential to prevent sinus infections and limit your sick time by healing faster after one has set in.
