Bc distilled water is cleaner/purer/safer. Think about it. Your stomach/digestive system is designed to take all sorts of drink and food, gastric acid is highly corrosive, there r bacteria in us to help break down n digest these foodstuff, all these systems r able to cope with foodstuff that may b less than pure. Our sinuses aren’t made for the same requirements. Nothing but air is supposed to enter there, so they r much more vulnerable to infection
