Well, most sinus problems are caused by thickened mucus in the nose and sinuses. The reason varies, but some common causes are cold, flu, allergies, pollution or dry air. Once it becomes thick, it can pool in the sinuses or in the nose, leading to the familiar congestion, drainage, headache…post-nasal drip…and mucus that remains stagnant provides fertile ground for infection with bacteria. So, nasal washes are the only way that thick mucus can be washed out of the nose. Rather than relieving the symptoms of sinusitis, nasal washes actually treat the root problem.
