Neti Pot
Using a Neti Pot is a simple and effective method for nasal irrigation, which can help alleviate sinus congestion and improve breathing. Here's a short description of how to use a Neti Pot anywhere:
Prepare the solution: Mix a saline solution by dissolving about half a teaspoon of non-iodized salt (such as sea salt or kosher salt) in warm, distilled water. Ensure the water is at a comfortable temperature, not too hot or too cold.
Fill the Neti Pot: Pour the prepared saline solution into the Neti Pot. Make sure the spout is clean and unobstructed.
Position yourself: Lean over a sink or basin and tilt your head to one side, about a 45-degree angle. Your forehead should be slightly higher than your chin.
Insert the spout: Gently insert the spout of the Neti Pot into your upper nostril. It should fit comfortably and create a seal.
Pour the solution: Slowly pour the saline solution into your nostril. The solution should flow through your nasal passages and out of your lower nostril. Breathe through your mouth while pouring the solution.
Switch sides: After using about half of the solution, switch to the other nostril and repeat the process.
Clear your nasal passages: Once you've used all the solution, gently blow your nose to remove any remaining mucus and saline solution.
Clean the Neti Pot: Rinse the Neti Pot thoroughly with distilled or boiled water after each use. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a clean, dry place.
Remember to use only distilled or boiled water for preparing the saline solution to avoid introducing harmful bacteria into your nasal passages. And always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific Neti Pot.
