My Magic Lamp...Well Pot that is!

I finally purchased a Neti Pot. It was on sale for $11.99, which was a savings of $2.
A Neti Pot uses warm water to flush out your sinus cavities.
I was a little hesitant to use it at first. But, once I got the correct position of my head, the water flowed from into nostril and out the other.
My sinuses were soothed. I got a better night of rest too.
If you have never tried one of these, I highly recommend you do.

I have never tried one. When I am sick enough that I would need one I am too weak to hold one up. LOL

I have heard good things about them for a long time. Decided I would give it a try.

@DianneN I have to use it tonight. Cleaned a dusty place today. It will help immensely.

I don't plan on using it every day. There are 50 packets of sinus rinse that came with the package. I am only going to use it when exposed to excessive allergens.

@ElusiveButterfly That's very wise. My son had a horrible cold, and it helped him breathe much better.

It did work well for me. I won't need to use it tonight. But, when I am exposed to allergens I will use it more.

So many of my friends use them and kept telling me to get one. I am glad I did.

@fishtiger58 It took a couple of tries before I got the hang of it.

I have one of those. I use it when my allergies are driving me crazy. I really wish I could get my 7-year-old to use it but he panics when we try. It does help unclog the sinus area.

Have you had him hold the pot on his own? Sometimes if you hand them the reigns they are okay. I did this when trying to get my kids to take medicine. I gave up and handed them the medicine spoon.

I have never heard of a Neti Pot but if it enables you to have a good nights sleep it will be a blessing.

The water flushing clears the residue from your sinus cavity. It helps me to sleep when I can breathe better.

@41CombedaleRoad my husband bought me a nasal spray, but it was scented and I didn't care for that. I will have to look for unscented saline spray.

@ElusiveButterfly I have a nasal spray which works well on the odd occasion when I need it.

I use saline mist to do basically the same thing, it is a big help when by allergies are bad.

I had heard of this item for years, but the thought of using one weirded me out. Once I tried it, it did feel odd, but I will use it again.

really? the D store has a yeti pot, which I think is the generic of that, but I had no idea what it was really for

It was a weird feeling at first to have the water flow through your sinuses. However, it was very soothing.

I have a Netipot and it does help with stuffed sinuses. It does feel funny as the water runs through the sinuses but it works!

I am doing it again tonight and hopefully I won't have to stop several times. The feeling of water running through your sinuses is weird.

I should have used mine last night. My sinuses were giving me a lot of pain. I woke with a migraine this morning. Have to use it tonight before I go to bed.

My husband uses one all the time...well when he needs it. I haven't needed it so I haven't used one. I might give it a try...

My husband would never try the Neti pot. He would ask me if I was crazy if I suggested it to him.

I'm sure I would mess it up and inhale all that water. My daughter has one and uses it often.
