Hi, Everyone - I just wondered which is recommended mostly - the hypertonic
or the isotonic saline solutions? I've tried both, and the hypertonic does
seem to unclog me better - more gunk comes out and I can breathe easier.
But is this damaging anything in the long run? What would the benefits be
of each type of solution?
Thanks!

From what I read googling, the studies show that
a hypertonic salt solution could impair cilia.
It is better to use a Ringer solution with salt(NaCl) and
KCl CaCl2 NaHCO3
This is more or less the composition of sea salt
or the prepared solutions you can find for sale.
