Raena Morgan: Hi, I'm Raena Morgan with iHealthTube. We're visiting with Dr. Barbara Hendel. We're making a 1% sole solution for nasal health, for eye health and for throat health. So, doctor, would you show us how we put this together, to.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: Okay. It's really important for nasal wash and for eye wash that you have a 1% solution because it's the same salt concentration that our tears have.
Raena Morgan: Oh?
Dr. Barbara Hendel: And so it's doesn't hurt in your eyes and in your nose. If you spring in the ocean, and you get ocean water, the water of the ocean in your nose or in your eyes, it hurts because the, the ocean has a 3.5%...
Raena Morgan: Oh it does? Okay.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: It's a 3.5% solution. When you spring in fresh water, there is no salt at all and it hurts too because there is no salt. And only a 1% solution doesn't hurt, so it's important that you make a 1% solution.
Raena Morgan: So how you make it and this is not ordinary salt. This is the natural Himalayan Crystal Salt.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: This is the natural Himalayan Crystal Salt. Yes. So you take a measure and you need for a 100 milliliter you need one of these spoons. We created this spoon because it's difficult to measure 1 gram and you have to go to the pharmacy and they don't like it to measure always one gram. So we created this spoon for one gram and you take it out here like that. You make it like that and then, here is this one gram and you put it here. Now we have that 200 milliliters, so you need 2 spoons if you want to have a 1% solution.
Raena Morgan: Okay, two -- that's two of them.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: That's two. Okay. Then you stir, that it dissolves. And for the nasal and eye wash the best is and you - it's not too hot or not too cold.
Raena Morgan: So room temperature?
Dr. Barbara Hendel: It's room temperature, yeah and so when it dissolves, just ready I think. For the nasal wash we have a special how do you say.
Raena Morgan: Apparatus.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: Yeah, it's a special apparatus and you can fill this in here like that so that it's difficult to place. Okay I will show -- you make it over, over these.
Raena Morgan: Over the sink?
Dr. Barbara Hendel: Over the sink yeah and then you have to put your finger here, otherwise it rinse out. You see?
Raena Morgan: So that goes it with the nasal passage?
Dr. Barbara Hendel: So then you make it like that in one hole of your nose, and on the other side, it comes out.
Raena Morgan: Oh, Okay.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: So that, it's very important that remember to use always moisture because otherwise the bacteria and the virus can go in.
Raena Morgan: Okay.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: So you will be healthy when this is always moisture. And therefore when you have a chronic sinusitis, do this twice a day like, like teeth brushing, and then you will lose that and you'll never get it.
Raena Morgan: Okay.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: Because it's really, it's a very good and simple treatment for these items.
Raena Morgan: Alright. Now, say my throat was irritated, how much of the solution would I use?
Dr. Barbara Hendel: For the throat you can use also a 3%, so when you have 100 milliliter you can put in three of these spoons.
Raena Morgan: Okay.
Dr. Barbara Hendel: In this little booklet, we have a list which you show how to prepare a one or two, or three percent solution. So this will be very helpful for you to prepare all these, these treatments.
Raena Morgan: Okay. I'm Raena Morgan with iHealthTube. If you would like to know more about Dr. Hendel's remedies with her crystal salt, visit our website, thank you.
