Alkalol, formulated with natural ingredients to be soothing and refreshing at a time when many similar products contained high levels of alcohol, which can dry out and damage delicate sinus and throat tissue, is a versatile product with a variety of uses. It is primarily used as a nasal wash and mucus solvent to provide relief from sinus infections, allergies, colds, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, rhinitis, and respiratory problems caused by dust, pollen, mold, pollution, and other irritants. Alkalol is also regularly used as an oral rinse and throat gargle to break up mucus, and provide relief from sore and dry throats, laryngitis, tonsillitis, tonsilloliths^[1], mouth sores, and throat irritation caused by allergies and post-nasal drip.
