Breathe Easier With Saltwater Solution

In “The People’s Pharmacy,” (Feb. 16), someone asked about the efficacy of a homemade saltwater solution to clear the nasal passages.

I was first told about this remedy by a renowned ear, nose and throat specialist in New York, back in 1948. And here in Los Angeles, in 1995, another fine specialist recommended a teaspoon of table salt in a quart of warm water. It has always worked for me, with no adverse effects.
