Nebulizing Solution Recipe

Written By Patty Shipley

H2O2 should first be diluted in normal saline, which can be purchased or made using the following recipe:

  • 1/2 tsp salt (Celtic, Himalayan or regular table salt)

  • 1 cup water

  • Mix until completely dissolved

How to make your H2O2/saline mix:

  • 1-3/4 tsp of 3% FOOD GRADE H2O2

  • 1 cup saline

  • Mix together and refrigerate unused portion to maintain stability and potency

  • Do NOT use the brown $1 bottles found at drug stores since they contain stabilizers, that when inhaled, can be harmful to the lungs.

  • Do NOT use the same dilution rate if using a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide, such as 12% or 36%

If using 12% H2O2, dilute 1/4 tsp H2O2 in 5 ounces saline.

For 36% H2O2, dilute 1/4 tsp in 15 ounces saline.

Nebulizing instructions:

Fill nebulizer cup halfway and nebulize 5-6 times daily for about 2 minutes, refilling as needed.  The mist should be alternatively inhaled through the mouth and nose to impact both the lungs and sinuses.

  • Innospire Nebulizer System (comes with 1 face mask)

  • Hydrogen Peroxide (food grade, 3%)
