FranThe Sumerians invented the irrigation systems because they needed a system that could control the water.
Nasal irrigation was noted to be effective in clearing the nasal passges prior to meditation hundreds of years ago. The benefits were really apprecaited when a salty solution was added. Western medicine first introdcued nasal irrigation in the late 1800's while modern medical literature mentions irrigation before and after surgery for many decades. The recent burst of awareness in the past 5-10 years is multifactorial (bacteriasl resistence to antibiotics, consumers seeking natural alternatives and preventative methods, recent scientifc literature supporting the notion that washing makes sense, information via interent resulting in informed healthcare consumers, modern systems that make nasal washing easy, convenient and it feels so good).

The Sumarians, the ancient people of the present-day Iraq and Syria, were the first to develop irrigation systems. Many of their canals and dikes remain intact today. The Sumarians were also the first civilization to have city states, largely as a result of their ability to cultivate more crops through irrigation.
