Neti Pot

Janet · 10-08-2008, 03:24 PM

I also try taking hot showers because the steam seems to help open my head. Don't forgot about the Vick's. I will put some up the ole nose sometimes and it helps. Afrin nasal spray is a good one...helps me fall asleep easier. Indiana sure has it's ragweed and pollen doesn't it. Drives everyone nutso!

I use mine everyday - it really helps the sinuses from drying out and I think I get fewer colds since I've been using it.
I don't know about other people, but it took me about a week to get the hang of it - not using the right amount of salt made my nose burn a couple of times, and it was a strange feeling having the water flow the first few times.

I had a friend who used a Neti Pot and she said it really helped a bunch! I know it seems odd/gross/weird/awful - but people say after you get the "hang" of it, it really does help. I think there is some good scientific research to show it does help a lot.

Janet, have you used the Vicks disk you throw in the shower to make vicks vapors when you are in the shower? My daughter uses them and says it really helps her a lot.

I have seen and heard about the Neti Pot actually it looks cute.. lol It is the same idea as a nasal douche that sounds awful sorry lol.. My doctor gave me one many years ago I guess its called that. You put water into this plastic small contraction and close one nostril and tilt your head you get the idea that is why I call it a douce lol.. sorry if I offend anyone..

You are crazy.

Years ago my ENT DR told me to mix a pinch of salt in warm water and suck it up, one nostril at a time. When I get a bad infection, still do it and it is cheep.
But, I am not afraid of water even though I almost drown when I was 4.
