For those of us who tend to use saline solution to calm allergic reactions, this recipe is a great money saver. Combine 1/2 tsp. of sea salt with 1 cup warm water in a bottle with a lid. Add a pinch of baking soda, place the lid on the bottle, and shake. Pour some of the mixture into a nasal spray bottle and you're ready to go. The rest of the mixture can be stored in your medicine cabinet or even in the kitchen so it will be readily available when your spray bottle needs a refill.

Make sure that you toss any left over solution after 24 hours so bacteria doesn't grow!! -from a nurse

Actually the water used for making a saline solution should be distilled water available from your local drug store.

Don't for get the water has to be boiled first and the bottle sterilized, especially if you're going to store it for any length of time!
