Neti/Nedi Pot?

Interesting- thx Zen.

I bought the pot because Dr. Oz suggested it on Oprah yesterday. Seems weird but I will try. The pot was $18. Dr. Oz only suggested warm water, no salt.

Lots of my Yoga friends use them and say they're really effective-I don't have the need to use one, but would give it a go if I did.

luCKy I hope you see this before you use it. If you don't use salt (making it a saline solution) it is going to burn the shit out of your nasal passages. Think breathing swimming pool water. The neti pot rec is in the directions 1C warm water w/ 1/4 t non iodized salt.

I found a demonstration on U-tube when I was researching this. I had never heard of a neti pot. Yet another reason why alcohol is not good for you.

LucKy,
I just bumped up my post from last late fall on using a neti pot for nasal irrigation. It improved my health significantly. I don't use it except during the colds season, when our heated air is very dry.

Used one for years, hubby uses daily we buy the salt packets at walgreens. He cleans out the sawdust with it. I buy them for the kids at work who have bad sinuses and colds or headaches works like a champ.

They are recommended by that Dr. OZ the one Oprah has on she even had it demonstrated on one of her shows years ago.

Thanks for the post. I have terrible allergies. How often do you need to do it?

Neti/Nedi Pot?

Thanks everyone. Takeheart, I have no idea. I don't think it would be a bad thing to do daily but I really don't know.

Thanks, Lucky! I'll do some internet investigating

Neti/Nedi Pot?

I bought one and have used it a few times for nasal stuffiness, which I had all the time when I was drinking. Now that I'm off the AL, no more stuffiness......think there was a connection? Most certainly, and yet I kept thinking I was allergic to my cats who I wasn't about to part with.

Another reason NOT to drink.

you can use it as often as you need it, just don't over salt the water.

Neti/Nedi Pot?

I use it after I crank up the yard tools. All that dust and stuff, you can't help but breathe some. It's also good to use after you've been on an airplane.

Neti/Nedi Pot?

I use a neti pot when I feel a cold coming on or when I'm already in the midst of one....keeps me from having to take so much congestion medicine! It's a weird feeling but doesn't hurt or anything.
