Neti Pot       01/06/05 10:23 PM Edit Reply Quote Digby Reged: 07/31/04 Posts: 453 Neti pots look like little Aladdin Lamps. You fill them with warm tap water and a heaping 1/4 tsp of plain salt (non-iodized). It's important to get the exact ratio of salt to water or it will sting your nasal passages. The Neti Pot comes with instructions on how to use. Basically you lean over a sink, tip your head to one side and pour the water in one nostril and it comes out the other; then you snort out any excess water which sometimes has wonderful yucky stuff in it that you're cleaning out. If you're like me, it will be awkward to use at first, but once you get the hang of it you'll love it! You can purchase them at any health food store. Whole Foods has them. Kaiser sells a variation of the Neti Pot called a Sinus Rinse (maybe Longs does too?) that is bascially a plastic bottle that you fill with salt water and then you squeeze the water up your nostril. It's easier to use, but I don't think it gets the gunk out as well. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
