Behold the Neti Pot. So, we've probably all seen Neti Pots as the butt of a joke on Six Feet Under or with Dr. Oz on Oprah, but who really does that? Who uses a gravy boat to pour salt water into their nose? ME! That's who. I'm on my second round of a nasty infection that our little family has been passing around for about 6 weeks now. I feel miserable, and I was desperate. I saw this cheap Neti Pot at Thrifty, and we got home and tried it.
I rate the success of the Neti Pot at a 9. A doctor once told me that I have super-sized sinuses, and I have been plagued with Sinusitis as long as I can remember. I use sinus spray, medicines, everything I can possibly do. It was a strange experience. During the act, it kinda feels like when you're underwater and accidentaly snort a little pool water, but about two minutes afterward, I got some serious goodies out of my sinuses (TMI? Sorry). My head already feels cleared of pressure. I love it.
Hubby's warming up to it slowly, but I think I'll be investing soon in one that's not cheap plastic.
