I’m grateful for my neti pot, or snotty potty, as I like to call it. I don’t know how I’ve managed to live without one before. If the weather messes with me to give me a sinus headache, the morning rinse will clear it up.
I haven’t had a cold since I started using it. Except when I was travelling without it. I got a wicked sinus infection that did not migrate to my chest because I expectorated admirably. (See? It’s better to spit than to swallow) Soon as I hit the mainland, I hied myself over to Shopper’s Drug Mart and bought me a plastic neti pot, which is entirely travel-friendly.
I only bought the real deal because there were no plastic tea sets in the dollar store. I’m cheap frugal that way. I don’t use the packaged rinses they pack with it, rather, I use a small amount of salt, about an eighth of a teaspoon to mix in the water.
Everyone should have one of these, especially if you are prone to sinus infections, colds, or have allergies.
