The saltwater thing.......I have never intentionally shot it up my nose, but after surfing for 35 years I can tell you that getting your sinuses sloshed with saltwater is one great way to keep the insides of your head clear.
As for the bit of advice from one diver stating that he thought a saline solution inside your nasal passages might make you more likely to gain an infection/inflammation..........your body is pretty much a saline environment. Keep yourself hydrated and flush away.
Better yet, if you live near the ocean, get yourself a pair of body surf fins and go attack the shorebreak. Might as well have fun and get some exercise while you are flushing.
