Has anyone used a Neti Pot?

Congested more with neti pot use?

  • I have had bad allergies my whole life. I saw the neti pot on Oprah years ago but never got one. I hear that it works great so I finally broke down and got one yesterday. I have used it 3 times now and after each time I actually get more congested and sneeze more. I am using the packets it comes with and luke warm tap water from my sink. I'm wondering if it's something in the packets that I'm allergic to. Has anyone else had this problem? Will my body get use to it and go away after a few uses? I hear all the great stories of the neti pot but I'm not experiencing them. Please help... Thanks!

  • Answer:

    It may be the water. There's a lot of junk in tap water. I don't know what's in the packets you got but try using only salt in the solution they suggest. It shouldn't be too strong but give that a try.

Two rules with the nedi pot. 1- Never use it right before you lay down. (That will cause earaches and other problems) 2- You should use distilled water if you can. I used distilled water when I was preggers but now I just use tap water and it works fine. Your water may be the cause. I like the nedi pot and recommend it to anyone.
