Does anyone have experience (good/bad) using a neti pot?
« on: January 14, 2013, 12:24:46 pm »
I've been struggling with a cold the last week and a half and the congestion in my head is causing splitting headaches. A friend suggested trying a neti pot.

I looked it up on Wikipedia and it seems safe enough.

Does anyone on hear have experience with them?

I just used one yesterday. I've entered the stuffy/running nose fun of a cold. I boiled the water (let it cool) and then added some table salt. Ran it through both sides of my nose. Felt better for about a couple hours.

In general, I find it works best if you don't have one of those completely stuffed up noses. If you can breath a little through your nose it helps clear things out. If you are totally stuffed you need something stronger.
