NETI POT THERAPY

The Neti pot is an amazing device that cleanses and clears the nasal passage. Clearing the nasal passages in this manner removes excess mucous that makes you more vulnerable to bacterial infections, allergies and chronic or acute congestion. 

Top benefits of the Neti pot:

-Sinus congestion 

-Cold symptoms 

-Sinus infections

-Allergy symptoms 

-Post Nasal Drip

-Sinus pressure headache

-Snoring

-Dry eyes

-Clear vision

Here’s what to do: 

Make your saline rinse by filling the Neti Pot with one cup of warm distilled water (NOT tap water) and ½ teaspoon salt (plain cooking salt, sea salt, kosher salt, or a prepaid Neti Pot solution) and mix with a clean object.  

Lean over the sink with your forehead leaned towards the drain. Place the spout of the neti pot to your right nostril and turn your head towards the left (so that your left ear is now facing the drain). Breathe through your mouth as you allow the distilled salt water to flow in through your right nostril and out through your left nostril. 

Repeat on the opposite side. 

Aim to use approximately 1/2 the water solution for each side. 

Blow your nose gently, but thoroughly, to purge as much water and mucous as possible. 

Can be used 2x a day for acute needs. Do not over-use. Chronic nasal issues should be addressed by me in the office. 

You can gargle with this same type solution for a sore throat, or use my throat spray recipe with essential oils or a premade spray like NutriBiotics grapefruit throat spray.
