It is filled with salt water to cleanse your nasal passages. A sinus wash is recommended as part of your daily personal hygiene regimen.
Cleansing your sinuses in this manner relieves symptoms associated with colds, flu, sinus infections, nasal dryness, allergies, and other sinus irritations. It also helps reduce swelling of the nasal membranes.
This is how you use a Neti Pot:
1. Fill the Neti Pot with water. The water should be lukewarm (not too hot, not too cold) and can be poured into the pot directly from the tap (approximately 1/2 cup of water). Distilled water is recommended if the purity/safety of the tap water in your region is questionable.
2. Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan salt to the water. Stir with spoon to dissolve thoroughly.
3. Lean your head forward over the basin,bath,or in the yard bending your neck down slightly with your eyes looking downwards.
4. Gently place the spout of the Neti Pot inside your right nostril, forming a seal to avoid any outer spillage.
5. Open your mouth slightly. Breathe continuously through your open mouth during this sinus cleansing procedure. This allows a necessary air passageway so that the water will not drain from behind your nose into your mouth.
6. Tilt your head sideways, so that your right nostril is directly above your left nostril. Tip the Neti Pot, allowing the water solution to pour into your right nostril. Within a few seconds the water will naturally drain from your left nostril into the sink.
7. After the Net Pot is empty, remove the spout from your right nostril, and exhale through both nostrils. Gently blow your nose into a tissue.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for your left nostril.
A few tips for the use of Neti Pots.
1. Make sure that you wash your Neti Pot after each use. Stick it in the dishwasher, if you have one
2. When you do this for the first time...make the water/Himalayan Salt mixture, a bit weaker then suggested.
3. Applying a thin layer of Aloe Vera gelly on the inside of both nostrils before the treatment helps sooth sensitive skin.
