Default Neti Pot! Try it for allergies!

I haven't tried one yet but I just saw on oprah the other day that a neti pot can really help someone with allergies like me.

its like a little gravy boat lookin thing that you put water and salt into. then you tip your head sideways and literally flush out one nostril at a time.

Dr. oz the gues on the show that day said that doctors who specialize in noses recommend this method more than any medication

I'm going to go try and find it at a natural health foods store or maybe walgreens and see if this sucker works

Smile Neti Pot

I have a neti pot. It WORKS!!! It has saved me from many sinus infections. If you tend to get congested rather than your nose being runny, it really helps. It does take a little practice. Also decrease the amount of salt and use warm water if it burns your nose. If the mixture is right, it really helps your sinuses to feel better. I have many friends who also really love the way it works. By the way, it is very inexpensive at places like Walgreens and comes with the little salt packages. I use 1/2 of a salt package in warm water. Good luck learning how to work it.

LOL! I know exactly what you mean. I tried it a couple of times myself and felt the same way.

My dad also has one and he swears by it.
