Seriously though, if you haven't heard about Neti Pots, you need to know.
Nasal irrigation. People have been doing this in Asia for centuries to avoid being sick and to clean out their sinuses. It's amazingly easy and amazingly effective. No fad, no hoax. Fer serious. Those stupid little Nasonex and Afrin sprays are pathetic and useless compared to a Neti Pot.
A Neti Pot is a little teapot-like thingy that you mix a solution of saline water in. Then you tilt your head over a sink, breathe through your mouth, and use the spout to pour water into one nostril. It burbles up into your sinuses, through your face, and out the other nostril into the sink. Crazy yeah? Then you right yourself and blow your nose gently, and everything that was blocking up your sinuses is flushed out. Then you just do the same thing on the other side of your nose.
It's fantastic. I don't get severe sinus infections any more. I can flush the slight infection out before it has a chance to make my whole body too sick.
Best of all, I can BREATHE, and there's no more stuffed-head-and-face feeling from gummed up sinuses.
I'm not getting paid to advertise this, it's just me blathering about something I totally love. Neti pots. Look 'em up.
