How to Make Homemade Saline Nasal Spray

Whether you're entertaining or relaxing, this recipe hits the spot.

Ingredients

Homemade Saline Nasal Spray
  • 1 cup (8 ounce) water
  • 1 teaspoon natural salt (you can add more for more "punch" but it does sting. I use Real Salt)
  • 1/8 teaspoon (pinch) baking soda
Homemade Xylitol Nasal Spray Version
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Xylitol
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 drop grapefruit seed extract optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Warm the water to a temperature that is as warm as you can tolerate (of course, this is a subjective term. The water should not be so hot as to damage your nasal passages. See notes below.)
  2. Add salt and baking soda to your saline container (neti-pot or saline spray bottle).
  3. Add water and mix / shake to combine.
  4. Follow directions for using your saline wash container.
  5. Make sure to rinse out your container after use and leave it open to air dry.
