I always hear about how great it is to clear out your throat, but like, I gag and nearly vomit every time. Is this something most people can actually do? Same goes for nasal spray, once that drip hits, I'm ready to die.

How salty are you making it? Like, more than a teaspoon in a cup is probably too much.

I always found it weird that I was the one kid who enjoyed the taste of salt water >_>

I could gargle it just fine, but it grossed out all of my friends

Any amount is too much for me honestly. (But I also don't really like salt in the first place...)

I didnt learn until a few years ago. Try practicing with regular water. Put some in your mouth, tilt your head back and expel oxygen through your mouth. Wallah! Oh its the salt content that gets to you.. yeah idk it is nasty

Last I remember doing it was when my wisdom teeth were removed decades ago. It wasn't pleasant but I did it.

Yes and its easy. If its gross or difficult youre not gargling correctly and letting salt actually get through

Yes. Just use a little less salt if it's making you gag.

I actually miss the days when I used to have a prescription for this one nasal spray that I don't remember the name of. Never tried gargling salt water though TC.

Hmm, seems like its just me then. I can do regular water just fine, and Im sure I could manage listerine too; its really just salt water that breaks me.
