To make our Hotel Room isotonic saline, you're going to need:

* Salt (non iodised if you can)
* bottled water

Step 1: Add a teaspoon of salt to 500ml of water.

Medics carry saline in these tiny little irrigation (means "washing") bottles. You pop the top off and squeeze and the saline squirt out.

This is important! If you're just pouring water out of a bottle, a lot of water comes out at low velocity, so most of the water slides off.
