Gargling with salt water* appears to be associated with lower rates of hospitalization among people infected with coronavirus, a new scientific study finds.
In particular, in a study conducted at the peak of the pandemic, i.e. Between 2020 and 2022, hospitalization rates among those receiving low- and high-dose saline were significantly lower than those in the control population, i.e. among the infected. The numbers “speak for themselves”: 18.5% for the low dose, 21.4% for the high dose and 58.8% for the control population.
“Our goal was to study saline nasal rinses and rinses for a possible link to improvement in respiratory symptoms associated with coronavirus infection. – notes Jimmy Espinoza, one of the authors of the study. – We found that both saline regimens appeared to be associated with lower rates of hospitalization for SARS-CoV-2 infection. We hope that additional studies will be conducted to further explore this connection.”.
The study, conducted in 2020-2022, included 55 people aged 18-65 years with a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 infection who were randomly assigned to receive a low or high dose of saline solution for 14 days.
The low dose solution consists of 2.13 g of salt dissolved in approximately 227 ml of warm water, and the high dose solution consists of six g of salt dissolved in approximately 117 ml of warm water. Participants and subjects rinsed and rinsed their nose four times a day for 14 days. In addition, 9398 people with SARS-CoV-2 infection were examined, who formed the reference population.
*Millions of dollars have been spent researching a technique that our ancestors have used for thousands of years. But they didn’t even get to the soda solution… Can you imagine what incredible discoveries await “British scientists” in this case?
