Rescued by my NasaFlo Neti Pot
23 Nov
I bought a NasaFlo Neti Pot a couple of months ago, when I was having major sinus issues and allergy problems. Several people had recommended neti pot, and I was miserable enough to try anything… at least, I thought I was.
Turns out, after reading the directions and really thinking about it, I was too terrified of accidentally drowning myself with saline water to actually use the thing until this morning, when I woke up with another sinus invasion.
I finally felt miserable and stuffed up enough to risk drowning, so I poured filtered water into the little blue pot, microwaved the water (I don’t think I made it warm enough… next time I’ll be braver with the temperature), poured in the little packet of magical dust, and headed in to the bathroom.
When I first tipped my head forward and to the side and put the spout of the little pot to my nostril, I didn’t even realize it was already pouring water in until the water came out the other side. No choking, no burning, just a stream of warm water and slightly strange feeling in my nose, and after I blew my nose and did the other side…
RELIEF.
I don’t care how gross it sounds, or that my greatest fear is of drowning, that was TOTALLY FRIGGIN’ WORTH IT. I will be hitting that little blue pot again in the near future, I suspect. If you haven’t tried it and you have sinus issues, it really is an instant source of temporary relief.
This little blue pot is my new best friend. :)
