Nasal Saline Recipe Carefully clean a 1-quart glass jar. Fill the clean jar with tap water or bottled water. Add 2 to 3 heaping teaspoons of pickling or canning salt. Add 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda (pure bicarbonate). Stir or shake before each use. Store at room temperature.
You may also add a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to the 1 cup of water, which improves the mucus-solvent properties of the solution and acts as a buffer. Nasal Spray Preparation
It may be accompanied by sinus congestion and nasal discharge (runny nose). Luckily, a saline (salt water) nasal spray can get you through nasal congestion from cold or allergies. You can easily make your own saline nasal sprays at home for use on adults, children, or even infants.
Usage Tips and Storage To get the best results from your saline spray, it's recommended to "prep" your nose by gently blowing it into a tissue to help remove mucus that may block the nasal cavities. Prepare the solution itself by gently shaking it to ensure that the contents are evenly distributed, just in case they may have separated.
