Preferred Label : Nasal Saline Irrigation Solution;
NCIt synonyms : Nasal Saline Rinse; Nasal Saline Wash;
NCIt definition : A solution containing sodium chloride that can be used to cleanse the nasal passages.
Upon nasal irrigation, the saline washes out thick or dry mucus, and irritants, such
as pollen, dust particles, pollutants and bacteria, from the nasal cavities. This
reduces nasal blockage, improves nasal airflow and helps keep nasal passages clean
and clear, which decreases the risk of irritation and inflammation. The saline solution
also moisturizes and soothes irritated mucus membranes.;
