I do not think it would be a good idea to mix salt with the CS..... nor use the CS undiluted as that would be too strong.
What proportion of CS to water would be enough to safeguard the nasal passages? Kathy N.

If you add a little citric acid to the CS to produce silver citrate first, that should make it inactive to the chlorine ion when you add salt.

You did mix in the electrolyte that comes with it didn't you? Marshall On 1/12/2012 2:42 PM, David AuBuchon wrote: I did neti pot once with CS. Stings like hell. Would not recommend it. I think nasal spray CS is not uncomfortable though.

If it is so that there is a connection between the brain and nasal passages would CS pass through and help the brain. Kathy Neff
