Over 20 years ago an ENT specialist recommended snorting salt water through my sinuses. I have a deviated septum and was always stuffed up. I tried it once unsuccessfully and wrote him off as a nut. I had surgery once which was a temporary fix. So, for the next 20 years I was addicted to Afrin nose spray to help me sleep at night. I wish that I had known about the neti pot. I can breathe now without have to take any medication. And I can work around people with colds and I don’t catch them. I saved a couple little jars and use my own salt mixture.I use 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp baking soda per neti pot. I highly recommend the neti pot to anyone with sinus problems. Yes, it is not a cure. But I have not found anything better.

I would think that when the heating season starts, the open windows close, causing you home to become warm cozy bacteria farm.

thanks!!! i had heard of this a while back but completely forgot… now i’m going crazy!!! i haven’t tasted my food in like 5 days…. my nose is completely shut! although i’m thankful that i am not experiencing the eye irritation my nose issue is awful!!

just did it with help from my mom!!! although it opened up my nose… i can feel it shutting down again…. hopefully if i do it a couple of times a day i’ll start getting back to normal… i guess i’ll have to wait and see…

Hi Karol, I have seasonal allergies also. I have heard so many times that my allergies are the worst anyone has ever seen. I’ve had them since I was about 13 also. This year has been the worst so far. After trying every pill, spray, and syrup, I gave up on medicine years ago. My husband is at the store right now to get me my first neti pot. I’ve been reluctant to try it, but I’ve given in due to desperation. I hope I have the same results as you! *crossing my fingers*, Amanda

Glad the neti pot has helped you Joe. And I’m always happy to hear a doctor recommend the neti over stuff that doesn’t work as well.
