Clear Congestion with a Neti pot

Have you ever had a cold with miserable facial pain or a stuffy nose so bad you have to breathe out of your mouth?  

Well, a neti pot might be your answer to help irrigate your nasal passages.  There have been many studies proving the effectiveness of this therapy for allergies and congestion.

What, exactly is it?  

It's a teapot like device to pour saline water into your nostrils.  

HOW TO USE A NETI POT

  1. Lean over the sink or go outside

  2. Bend your head down

  3. Holding the pot in your right hand, gently insert the spout into your right nostril

  4. Rotate your head so that the right nostril is directly above the left

  5. Raise the handle of the post so that the solution enters the right nostril… do not inhale.

  6. In a few moments, the solution will begin to drain out the left nostril into the sink.

  7. Gentle blow your nose & repeat on the other side

*Do NOT use tap water because it is not sterile!!!
