Washing of the nose with sinusitis is considered one of the most popular and effective procedures.

Indications for the procedure

Indications for washing the nose can be sinusitis, in both acute and chronic forms.

Every day, a washing procedure should be carried out using saline solutions in various combinations - it can be a means of primary treatment or become an integral part of complex treatment.
