I love this thing, and it's cheap, woohoo!
I have dealt with allergies all of my life and seem to be super susceptible to colds as well. I've had this neti pot for a couple years now, but just started using it daily a month ago. Since then I haven't had any allergy symptoms and the cold that I had was extremely mild. I buy the little pre-measured saline packets and rinse twice a day, morning and night. It does feel a little like you're drowning the first few times you use the neti pot, but most people get past that.
If you think about it, cold and allergy symptoms are just your bodies attempt to clear itself of germs or other offending particles... using the neti pot just helps it out a bit :)

Did you buy that after Dr. Oz was on Oprah ;) My husband needs one of these to add to his routine.
Not immediately after, but yes, I think that was what tipped me off about neti pots, hehe :)
My co-worker swears by hers. Glad it helps. Maybe I should get one of these for my husband to help clear what's been lingering for the past month.
I have one just like this. My cousin told me about it years ago and I didn't listen, then a year ago my friend mentioned it, and I got one...then my husband got one, and now, two of my kids have them. It REALLY does help.
oh my goodness...i could have totally written the same post! i love the neti pot! it was a godsend during my last trimester when i had congestion that lasted 2 weeks!
You are much braver than I but I have friends who use them. Great shot.
As I'm sitting here fully congested and feeling miserable, this post has reminded me of that "thing" up in my cupboard. Guess I should give it a try...
Great photo of a neti pot. Bet you could sell that to the manufacturer :) I have never needed one but have many friends who swear by them!
Glad to hear you like this so well... I'm thinking I probably need to get the one I bought 3 months ago out of the package soon! lol
Love the composition of this photo!
Too funny. I have been looking at these for my kids, right now we have to do the saltwater spray but I was wondering if I could get them to do the neti pot.
Ack! Bleck! Gasp! The horror! You can ask Courtney, I'm for all things natural, but the netti pot is my kryptonite. I tried to use it for a week & ended up worse off w a sinus infection. My nasal cavity wasn't meant to be flooded apparently.
I like how you made something so ordinary look so interesting.
You know I love my neti pot too!!! I love the reflection in your counters..what nice counters you have!
