The nose is one of the vanguards of the defense system in our body as it acts as an effective filter. It filters about 15,000 liters of air and tries to keep out the harmful substances whose list includes dust, smoke, pollution of other kinds, allergens, and pathogens that attempt to enter your body through the gateway of the nasal pathway. Proper nasal hygiene is thus imperative to protect your body from diseases. So, here’s a bit of do's and don’ts for you to maintain your nasal hygiene.
Keep a Clean Environment
A healthy environment goes a long way to
preserve your health and nasal hygiene. It is especially true when it comes to
the condition of respiratory organs. Here are a couple of tips to diminish the
threats in your environment:
-
Avoid usage of carpets in your residence
-
Prevent accumulation of dust in
your home
-
Clean your dwelling routinely
-
Abstain from smoking or even
being a passive smoker
- Keep an eye on the humidity level and try to maintain it at optimum (around 55%)
Use Neti Pot Religiously
Neti Pot also known as nasal integration, bestowed on us by our learned ancestors in the form of a practice mentioned in Ayurveda would be handy to keep your nasal passage in pristine condition. A clear nasal passage prevents a plethora of pathogens and respiratory diseases including the dreaded coronavirus. This saline nasal spray has benefits aplenty that includes alleviation of sinus headaches, reduction of snoring, and even improvement of smell and taste senses.
