A nasal-nasopharyngeal irrigating and cleansing system including a cup
with one or more assemblies that allow the flow and control of various
irrigating, cleansing and medicinal liquids into the nasal passages. The
construction of the cup provides sealing surfaces to allow the controlled
flow of the liquids into the nose through either nostril without
spillage. The flow of the liquid through the nasal passages removes via
abrasion any virus or irritant substances that may be in the nasal
passages or on the nasal membranes. According to one aspect of the
invention as the liquid is dispensed, the angle of the cup to the face
changes but a sealing rim on the cup wall continues to seal to the user's
face as the angle of the cup to the user's face changes, allowing liquid
to be drawn up into the user's nose via vacuum or gravity. A method of
using the device of the invention for irrigating, cleansing and coating
the nasal passages with antiviral agents or other beneficial medicines.
