Can Colloidal Silver be Used in a Neti Pot?

Sinus problems are very uncomfortable and can be debilitating.


Many people with chronic sinusitis are unable to relieve their symptoms with the use of antibiotics.

Can colloidal silver help?

Colloidal silver is known for its antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties which may help with sinus problems.

Colloidal silver is in liquid form making it easy to use when it comes to the nasal passage.

What is a Neti Pot?

A neti pot is designed to remove debris and mucus from the nasal cavity through rinsing.

Usually, saline solution is used for neti pot flushes but it may be advantageous to colloidal silver due to its antibacterial properties.

Use

When a person has a sinus infection the flow of mucus is high resulting in any solution that has been used to be flushed away within 10 minutes or so.

Therefore, it’s important to apply the antimicrobial agent around every 20 minutes to half an hour.

Bacteria and fungi can multiply in just 20 minutes so keeping on top of this production is very important.

The potential advantage of using a neti pot is that the most remote areas of the sinuses can be reached.

People who have used colloidal silver to flush their sinuses initially may experience a stinging sensation.

This discomfort is known to subside a short while after holding the solution in the nasal passage.
