Helps to clear out nasal mucus Removes allergens and irritants inside your nasal passage Improves breathing by flushing clogged nasal passages Promotes improvement in immunity A neti pot is a vessel designed to rinse debris or mucus from your nasal cavity. Use a neti pot to treat symptoms of nasal allergies, sinus problems or colds. If you choose to make your own saltwater solution, use bottled water that has been distilled or sterilized. Tap water is acceptable if it's been filtered with a pore size of 1 micron or smaller or if it's been boiled for several minutes and then left to cool until it's lukewarm. Directions To use the neti pot, tilt your head sideways over the sink and place the spout of the neti pot in the upper nostril. Breathing through your open mouth, gently pour the saltwater solution into your upper nostril so that the liquid drains through the lower nostril. Repeat on the other side. Be sure to rinse the irrigation device after each use with similarly distilled, sterile, previously boiled and cooled, or filtered water and leave open to air-dry.
