How to clean your nose without picking it

In life, some people will have some nasal boogers, which directly affect their image. Girls in particular are more fond of cleanliness and always want to pick them out when they have nasal boogers. However, there are always some invisible bacteria on people's hands, so it is not recommended to pick the nasal boogers with hands. Sometimes, having nasal mucus may be a sign of rhinitis. So in daily life, what are some tips for picking out the mucus without using your hands? Let’s talk about them below.

If you always have nasal mucus, it actually means you have rhinitis. The excess mucus secreted from the inflamed areas of the nose will stay in the nasal cavity for a long time and adhere to the dust in the air, and eventually dry up and become nasal mucus. Simply wash your nose thoroughly with warm salt water, and the problem of nasal mucus will be solved, and rhinitis can also be slowly cured.

Rhinitis is caused by long-term inflammation of the nose, such as a cold, or physiological factors such as pregnancy or mechanical changes in the structure of the nasal cavity, such as a deviated nasal septum. The inflamed part of the nose will secrete a large amount of purulent substance, which we call nasal discharge. Nasal mucus contains a large number of germs and substances that can cause tissue inflammation, so the accumulation of mucus in the nasal cavity will cause the inflammation in the nose to continue to worsen and develop, and will be more likely to cause a cold, forming a vicious cycle of cold → rhinitis → more likely to catch a cold → more severe rhinitis. At the same time, the mucus will be transported to the nasopharynx by the nasal cilia, but because it is too sticky to slide into the stomach and be processed, it sticks to the nasopharynx. These nasal mucus will constantly irritate the nasopharyngeal tissue, causing pharyngitis, and the secretions spat out from the mouth become what we call phlegm. Therefore, pharyngitis is usually accompanied by rhinitis.

The simplest and most effective solution is to buy a yoga neti pot, pour warm salt water into it, and let the water flow slowly under the guidance of gravity to wash the tender tissues of the nasal cavity, removing the mucus on the surface of the tissue and the viruses and other harmful substances in the mucus. Just wash it in the morning and evening. When washing, be sure to thoroughly clean out the mucus in the nasal cavity. Once the mucus is washed out, the nasopharynx will be free of irritants and pharyngitis will disappear naturally. At the same time, without the stimulation of mucus in the nasal cavity, the inflammation of various tissues will gradually disappear. The previous vicious cycle in the nasal cavity will be transformed into a virtuous cycle, and the diseased tissue cells will gradually be replaced by new healthy cells. Rhinitis will naturally improve slowly, and people will be less likely to catch a cold.

If medication is used, the drugs are basically in the blood and rarely reach the surface of the nasal mucosa to kill bacteria. At most, they can only have an anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues. The inflammation can indeed be eliminated when taking medicine, but after the effect of the medicine wears off, the bacteria will continue to multiply and re-trigger the inflammation, and the bacteria will gradually become resistant to the medicine, which is not good for the whole body.

Since nasal washing can comprehensively improve the resistance of the nose, it is very effective in preventing various non-infectious and infectious diseases such as colds and influenza. In other words, thoroughly cleaning your nasal cavity once after returning from a crowded place can have a very good preventive effect on all kinds of influenza.
