Ever felt the need for a nasal irrigation? Feeling a little stuffy? Or just simply getting tired of blowing your nose? Are you ready for a new alternative? Try the “Neti Pot”! We did, and we LOVE it! It’s actually a hilarious sensation of an experience only to be shared with those you know and trust. In one nostril and out the other! It feels a bit like drowning…only just through your nose and not your lungs…you follow? Maybe not. Any way, try it! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

You are very brave for posting this! *It made me laugh because my Dad, who has horrible sinus troubles, has one of those too! And he actually uses it and said it’s helped a lot.*

That’s awesome you guys. I have one and think it’s the greatest thing ever!

Are you using plain tap water? I hope not — nasal irrigation will be MUCH friendlier to your nose and sinuses if you add a small amount of salt to the water.
Another product that works similarly to the Neti Pot is a squeeze bottle, sold in major drug store chains as the “Ayr Saline Nasal Rinse Kit”. The Ayr product comes with a bunch of salt packets, each one the right amount for the 6-ounce squeeze bottle.
Irrigation sounds gross and does take some getting used to, but it’s definitely helped my chronically stuffy nose. I have to remember to keep some Kleenex in my shirt pocket, though, because my nose may decide at any moment to start dripping water (especially if I bend over or look down)!
