Has anyone used a Neti Pot?

Has anyone here used a neti- pot for seasonal allergies?

  • I have been thinking about asking my mum to get me one because I can't deal with my allergies, and the pills aren't working. I've read a little about them though, and it sounds like it wouls be really uncomfortable putting that water up your nose. Or like what if it goes down your throat and drowns you? And do they really work?

  • Answer:

    I totally recommened using this. I have bad seasonal allergies and am prone to sinus infections and let me tell you since I started using the neti pot I have NOT had to be put on any nasty anti-biotics because of sinus infections. Yes, I do have some allergy symptoms however they are alot mild then normal. When you use it just hold your breathing through your nose like you would when you jump into a swimming pool and nothing will go down your throught. You will feel reliefe trust me

I recommend them. You won't drown! While bending forward over a sink, I use a syringe filled with salt water and slowly squeeze the water into one nostril while plugging the other nostril. When I feel or taste the water in my throat, I release the other nostril and keep pushing the water slowly through the other nostril. The water goes in one nostril and drains out the other. The neti pop works in a similar way, you just don't bend forward over the sink. I haven't had a bad sinus headache for 4 years now since I have started doing this when I feel one starting. I do this sinus lavage 3-4 times a day when I feel plugged up and the infection never develops!
