The Neti Pot


I love this thing. My friend James recommended it to me as he suffers from allergies and nasal congestion too. I feel as I age my allergies are getting worse.

For instance a couple years ago I started to break out in hives every time I take Ibuprofen. The hives only last for a couple hours but still it looks pretty unsightly. The funny thing is when I went to the doctor to take an allergy test it, the test said I wasn’t allergic to anything.

Anyways I bought this Neti Pot yesterday, actually I didn't buy it I kinda stole it. The cashier at my local drug store didn't ring me up for it and I just walked out. I justified it by telling myself she wasn't doing her job properly or maybe she wanted me to have it. =) Okay so I stole it.

I got home jumped into the shower after mixing the solution, which is just water and salt, I poured the solution into each side of my nostril letting the water drain out the other nostril through the nasal cavity. I thought it was going to hurt, but it was actually very soothing and easy. Afterwards I felt like I could breathe so much better and my nose didn't feel as itchy.

Long story short, it's a great product and I wish I started using it earlier.

I heart my Neti Pot. Nasty funk comes out, which is both terrible and terrific!
