Pickling salt for saline?

I have a cold. My doctor told me I could make my own nasal saline solution with salt and water. He told me not to use table salt, but to use pure salt. I can't find pure salt, but I have pickling salt. Will that be fine?

yeah you should be fine you should try looking in a fish market the usually have pure salt to keep the fish fresh id say thats your best bet of finding it but work away as you are

hope you get beta x x x x x

I beleive so. Table salt contains Iodine. Other salts such as cosher, pickling, and sea salt do not. That is the only difference.
