Neti Pot to the Rescue!



I haven't made the time to blog in quite awhile, but I really have something to share now, so I thought I would take a minute and update. okay, I was having some awful nasal issues earlier in the week and was feeling stuffy and runny all at the same time. The kind of thing where your whole head feels clogged! Not wanting to go to the route of medicine, I decided to try the Neti Pot that I had seen on Oprah (back when I actually liked her) and I am telling you...Neti is my new best friend! It actually worked a miracle for me and I have become a fan. It feels a little wierd the first few moments as the water is going in, but then if you just keep your mouth open and don't try to swallow, it isn't bad at all. The real joy comes in when you have successfully drained all the liquid in one side and out the other and you can actually breathe CLEARLY!! Oh, I never knew it would feel so good to clean your nasal cavities from one end to the other. That must be how my mom feels when she gets her spring and fall cleaning done!
That is my tip for you all. I am just on a roll here with the natural home remedies aren't I?? First the sty treatment and now this. Dang, I am good :)

neti makes sense but it is clumsy, difficult and requires mixing with each use.
Nasopure nasal wash is a MODERN NETI. check it out.
