NoseBuddy Green – the popular neti pot for natural nasal hygiene
NoseBuddy Green from Holistic is a proven aid for gently and effectively rinsing the nose. Regular nasal irrigation can help relieve nasal congestion, reduce pollen-related discomfort, and improve breathing – especially during colds, allergies, or in dry indoor air.
1. Prepare your nasal rinse with the right saline solution
Start by filling the included measuring spoon (approx. 4.5 g) with fine, pure table salt – preferably without additives such as iodine or anti-caking agents. Pour the salt into NoseBuddy and then fill with lukewarm, clean water up to the 0.5-liter mark.
Tip: Tap water is usually fine, but for sensitive users, boiled and cooled water may be a good alternative.
Stir thoroughly until all the salt is dissolved. The result is an isotonic saline solution with a 0.9% salt concentration – the same as the body’s own fluids – ensuring a gentle and comfortable rinse.
2. How to perform nasal rinsing
Stand over a sink.
Gently insert the spout of the pot into one nostril so it fits snugly.
Breathe calmly through your mouth throughout the rinsing process.
Lean your upper body and head forward and slightly to the side.
Lift the pot so that the water flows into one nostril and out through the other – completely on its own.
The water effectively flushes out mucus, dirt, and allergens. When the pot is empty:
Lean forward and let your head hang relaxed to allow any remaining water to drain out.
Gently blow your nose, one nostril at a time.
3. Clean your Nosebuddy Green after each use
For optimal hygiene, rinse both the pot and the measuring spoon with hot water before and after each use. Let the parts air-dry – preferably standing upright so they dry thoroughly.
