Hi: I was considering using a solution of CS....not with salt and not straight CS.....but I don’t have a problem using the suggested salt and baking soda ratio that came with the nettie pot.... Just was curious if anyone was using CS and if so why.

Right now I use sea salt. ------------------------------------------------- I find that when I don’t use salt in a sinus drainage formula, my nasal passages really sting. Salt is a good anti-microbial agent that’s also an astringent—it shrinks tissues and therefore reduces inflammation. For my sinus solutions, I generally use salt, xylitol (for its anti-bacterial effects) and liquid iodine. The sinuses require huge amounts of iodine (itself germicidal), and this is a good way to get the iodine into the nasal cavities. Sometimes I add very small amounts of tea tree and/or oregano oils. Some of the more chemist-minded folks can say if adding CS to a salt solution reduces its benefits or undesirably changes its composition.
