Neti Pot - anyone ever use this??

[data]

I use one on a regular basis for my sinuses and it works great. Takes some getting use to but just try to relax and everything comes out when you blow your nose.

i just used a neti pot for the first time this past weekend...i was hesitant to use it too, but surprisingly it worked really well...i used it at the first sign of post nasal drip, and i think it kept me from getting really congested. it took a little getting used to (water going in through one nostril and out the other....weird), but i'll be using it from now on any time i get a cold. just remember to breathe thru ur mouth when you do it!

A nasal douche is much easier and quite effective, I have done it for years: kneel on floor with head between knees, put saline in nose (breathing through mouth, clearly), allow saline to penetrate sinuses for as long as is comfortable, then sit up, blowing out through your nose to clear it. Put a towel under your head, cos it can be a bit messy (heh!). It feels great afterwards. I am sure the neti pot works fine though, but it looks more complicated to me
