Ode to the Neti pot!


Let me be the first to say.....squirting warm water up my nose, was NOT something I ever thought I would be doing intentionally!!

When my doctor recomended (or threatened me within an inch of my allergy ridden head) that I go buy one and use it faithfully, I of course said "uhhh...I dont think so!" which soon turned into "we'll see".

Well, here we are, about 6 months later, and cedar is comming into season My sinus cavities feels like I am lugging around lead in them and I wake up in the mornings not able to breath.

I took the plunge and bought a neti pot this last weekend....well, bottle to be more specific. It took me 3 days to finally put water in it and try it out.........WIERD is the first word that comes to mind, but it is followed quickly with exclamations such as "HOLY CRAP, I CAN BREATH!!"

What is a Neti Pot, you may be asking. A Neti Pot is a ceramic pot, shaped much like a genie lamp, that you fill up with salt water, stick it up one nostril, tilt your head, and let the water flow in your nose through one nostril and out the other. That’s pretty much it, but wikipedia, as usual, has a much more informative article.

So....I encourage you, if you have sinus issues or allergies at all....GET A NETI POT!!! seriously...do it!
