Preparing the Saline Solution
Saline solution is sold in most pharmacies, but a lot of
people still prefer to prepare their own solution. This is not a complicated
process, actually. You just have to mix 1 teaspoon or 5 ml of ordinary table
salt with about 1 liter of distilled water. You may use a regular tap water if
distilled water isn’t available. But of course, you will have to ensure the
cleanliness of the water you are using.
Volume Accuracy
After preparing the saline solution, the next step is to
pour it into the nebulizer. The right amount that you need to pour is the same
as the amount of inhaled medication you would use. Most nebulizers have a tube
that connects the solution chamber to the mask or mouthpiece. Check to see if
it is connected properly to make sure the mist will go straight to your throat.
Benefits of Inhaling Saline
Experts generally recommend the use of saline in a nebulizer
as it is an effective and safe way of treating various breathing difficulties.
Many people even use it for children because it does not come with the side
effects that prescription medications normally come with.
If you don’t have a nebulizer at
home, a good investment would be Zen Living Snowball diffuser. This is the best diffuser for aromatherapy that you
can use to achieve the same benefits that inhaling saline offers.
The use of aromatherapy has been
recommended by experts to those who suffer from breathing difficulties,
especially during the cold winter months. What this diffuser does is produce
mist that humidifies the air in a dry room. This method is often used by people
who experience clogged nose during the cold season. Aside from this,
aromatherapy is proven to be an effective method for relaxation, and may even
help relieve symptoms of various illnesses.
