Why Should I Use a Neti Pot?

Can a Neti Pot really improve your sinus health? According to dedicated users of Neti Pots, thousands of years of use by practioners world wide, a wide array of scientific research, the answer is a resounding YES!

Do you suffer from allergies, congestion, colds and are sick and tired of feeling like you can never breathe? The solution may be a Neti Pot. Think about how you get sick. We breath in or absorb through our mucus membranes all those germs and viruses that make us sick. One warm cozy place they like to land is right in your nose, straight up the nasal passages.

Flushing out the bad stuff through nasal irrigation can possibly keep you healthier. Using a Neti Pot while you are sick may help rid your body of excess mucus, allow you to breathe easier and weather the illness a bit better.

Maybe you saw a segment on a little show called Oprah with the completely unabashed Dr. Oz promoting and then demonstrating the use of a Neti Pot with an audience member. As with so many things that Oprah does, this probably drove a huge amount of people to the stores, internet and local health food store in search of their own Neti Pot.

One great thing about the demonstration on Oprah’s show is that they had a person that had never used a Neti pot before try it before the studio audience. It showed just how easy it is and the fear that many people have of feeling a sensation of drowning was overcome. You aren’t pouring a gallon of water through your nose! Just a small amount of saline or salted water and you are allowing gravity to help flush it out of your nasal passages.
