NETI POT a.k.a. NOSE BIDET



The neti pot treatment is born from yoga, and uses a mix of sea salt and warm, non-chlorinated water. People who practice this treatment let the solution run from one nostril and out to the other. Rinsing the nose once a day with a nasal saline prevents sinus infections,help people with allergies, help those with sinus headaches and other problems associated with the sinuses.

Husband and moi have been doing the neti pot treatment for three months now. So far it works well for us, especially for me, who has perennial allergy since I was in my teen years. Ever since I started using the neti pot, I do not have anymore headaches and sinusitis associated with pollen allergy.

I know, it seems scary to use it at first. In fact, I freaked out the first time I saw my husband doing it. However, he encouraged me and so I tried it. But, boy what a difference it does make! Surely, it is not flattering at all to do it but if you consider your health, you should try this health routine. It's as natural as brushing your teeth daily! And after doing the neti pot treatment, you'd feel better as you are able to breath quite easily. No congestion. No clogging. Try it. It works!

How to use the neti pot?

1. Pour lukewarm water inside the nose bidet. Do not use cold water as it would give you a feeling of drowning. Cold water would do that.

2. Add 1/2 tsp. of salt. Do not use Kosher salt!

3. Bend down and hold the bidet.

4. Put the bidet into your nostril.

5. Breath through your mouth as you pour the water from one nostril to another.

6. Blow your nose after you are done with each nostril.

7. Bend over forward to ensure there is no water left in your nose canal.

8. Blow your nose.

9. Presto, you're done.

10. Repeat as needed.


Husband purchased our two neti pots at home online. The first one he bought was a miniature pitcher-looking bidet in porcelain, made from China. The second one is the Rhino Horn Neti Pot Kit From Norway. We love this one better than the first for its industrial design as this works easily well when you pour water into your nostril. The porcelain one (as shown in the video below) is not easy to use. The Norwegian made from Norway should be the one to avail, if you plan to buy one. You could go to www.amazon.com.
