@doctorsood: Have you ever tried rinsing your nose and wondered if it was actually safe? Water that’s safe to drink isn’t the same as water that’s safe for your nose. When you rinse your nasal passages, you’re bypassing the stomach’s protective acid, so any microorganisms in the water can directly contact sensitive tissues. The risk is rare, but serious enough that guidelines are clear: always use distilled, sterile, or previously boiled water for nasal rinsing.

Yes. All this is correct. But, her reaction was because there was no salt in the water.
