Neti Pots, sinus irrigation, saline %

[AnD]

Does anyone know what the common percentage is for saline for nasal irrigation?

Especially for a Neti pot (I can find the amounts of kosher salt to sterilized water, but not the % the solution makes). I'm wondering if I can use the left over 10% HTS to make my nasal wash...it may end up being a silly thought, but if it would work, I wouldn't have to wait for the salt to dissolve. I have read that some people use HTS (general public) for their saline washes.

I could use part of it for my HTS, and the rest for my nasal washes (the packets that you buy and mix with the water have too much baking soda in them for me- irritates my nose).

Any help or thoughts?

Well, as usual, ask a question, find the answer the next place you look... <img src="">


"Buffered Hypertonic (3%) Saline Nasal Irrigation" 2:1 or 3:1 salt to baking soda ratio, and possibly switching to a 1:1 solution periodically to rest the sinuses from possible irritation from the high salt...and 2 cups previously boiled water.

So, if I have 9cc's of 10% left over, how much water would I add for a 3% solution? I also have a smaller nasal irrigation bottle. Would I add 18 cc's of water, to make a 2.5% solution? Or does it not work that way? Help the art major add, please, anyone?

Or should I just give this up?

Ok I am bored at work and look now I can use some of my work skills while browsing!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Short answer is: (a mL is same as a cc) 9mL of 10% diluted to 30mL would give you your desired 3% solution.

Long answer is: shoudl you ever want to do a different volume or you have a different concentration here is how to figure it out <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

(Concentration of Original solution X Volume of original solution)divided by desired concentration of the new solution i.e.10%x9mL/3%=30mL

just keep the units the same and you will be fine i.e. use % on both sides and mL or cc on both sides dont try figuring out how to make a gallon of solution from mL's of another solution as then another conversion is needed.

hope this helps, if you are confused or want to know how to make 100mL or something just let me know

Thanks!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> This is definitely not my forte. LOL! I'd be adding them together each time, so what you gave me is great! Thanks!
