  • Every individual is unique and experiences will vary. This product may not be right for you.
  • While there are no medicinal side effects from Naväge nasal cleaning, some people have experienced nasal burning, local irritation or pain, ear discomfort, ear fullness or popping, and nose bleeds; these are generally minor and resolve in a short period of time. Some of these can often be avoided or reduced by making small changes in use. Go to the Usage Tips, Troubleshooting, or FAQs sections, to navage.com, or call the Naväge Customer Support Team at 800-203-6400 for additional help.
  • Under unusual conditions, nasal irrigation can allow fluid to reach the Eustachian tube (the passage connecting the back of the nose to the middle ear) which in rare cases may lead to an ear infection, including temporary pain, dizziness, or hearing changes. To minimize risk: Keep head level/straight and avoid swallowing during use; Stop immediately if you experience ear pain, pressure, or blocked sensation; Seek medical attention if symptoms develop or persist beyond 24 hours; Do not resume use until cleared by healthcare practitioner.
  • Only use the following types of water:
