I still don't have the answers ... in fact, I'm just not sure about the whole thing!
I bought a netti pot late last week and have used it a couple of times ... but it took me months (maybe years) to even get up the gumption to buy it and then hours of convincing myself to get up and "just do it".
I was simply horrified by the idea of pouring 8 oz of warm salt water through each nostril ... can you saw "ewwwww" times two (two nostrils).
The first time I got a "backwash" of salty water in my mouth ... and I nearly retched ... but forced myself to go on. Then it was not so hard ... and so long as I kept my mouth open and breathed regularly it worked just fine.
The 'wash' seemed to make my sinus' actually felt a bit better and my breathing improved for a couple of days.
The jury is still out for me ... but I would love to hear what you think or do. Do you "netti" and if so, why?
