Calendula flowers are effective in treating ENT (ear, nose, and throat) conditions as they:
• Reduce inflammation.
• Provide bactericidal action.
• Promote the healing of affected areas.
For illnesses, calendula-infused solution can be used for ear drops, gargling the throat, and nasal irrigation.
Calendula flower infusion for nasal irrigation is recommended for:
• Sinusitis.
• Rhinitis.
• Nasal congestion.
• Tonsillitis to enhance the effectiveness of local therapy.
The plant is also used for preventive purposes. Regularly cleansing the nose with calendula infusion removes impurities from the mucous membrane, strengthens local immunity, and facilitates breathing.
How to independently irrigate the nose:
To irrigate the nose, use a syringe or syringe without a needle. Fill the instrument with the prepared medicinal solution.
The procedure is carried out as follows:
- Lean over a bowl or sink, turning your head to the side.
- Insert the tip into the nostril.
- Gently but under pressure, pour the solution.
- Turn your head and repeat the procedure with the other nostril.
Nasal irrigation may be uncomfortable, but try to relax and breathe evenly for a smooth and comfortable experience.
