Yes, it's that time of the year once again, April for me is like a two sided coin, I love all that spring brings, but I don't like what it does to my head. Sunday was miserable, a sinus headache set in, you know the kind, with a stabbing pain every so often and a full head feeling. Not fun, but I'm hoping I found a cure- all this year in a Neti Pot, is anyone familiar with these nifty but funny looking pots? What they do is rinse your sinus canal out, keeping it free of pollen and dirt and it really works! It's amazing how just one cup of warm salt water can clear your head. It did take about a week to get the angle of my head just right so I wouldn't swallow it, but now I've gotten it down just right and it only takes me a few minutes. These Neti Pots can be found at any health food store and are such a wonder, rinsed daily you can avoid the miserable allergy season or at least tame it a bit. I got one for my son who is always blowing his nose, year round and one of the girls want one to have on hand for cold and flu season. Even my hubby tried it after suffering for days with a head cold, and in 2 days it was gone! I highly recommend a Neti Pot if you suffer from allergies, sinus or even a cold. Last April was the hardest with severe nosebleeds, but I'm hoping by using a Neti Pot daily, I can avoid that problem this year. I only pass on proven remedies, and this one has won high praise in my house!
How does that work??? Are you inhaling steam???
ReplyDeleteLooks bizarre, but if it works... WHY NOT?!?
I've seen those before but never tried it;I hope it works. Allergies can be SO miserable.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be back visiting with you; I actually posted today too. :-)

Good post. I am familiar with neti pots and I use them. They work well for clearing your sinuses. I usually take mine into the shower with me so that I can use the steam of the shower to help clear my head at the same time as using the neti pot. I really like natural cures like this. Thank you for promoting it.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sue, this is a new one to me. I may have to try this... my allergies seem to get worse every year. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteA while back, my daughter and I were watching an Oprah show, and Dr. Oz was saying that the neti pot was one of the best things that you could use. My daughter works part time at CVS pharmacy...she's a high school student. She just told me yesterday that a woman came in and asked if they sold neti pots. She knew just where they were and told the woman how to use it. Clearly this is good advice! Susan
ReplyDeleteI've heard these that little inventions are wonderful! It just might be the perfect thing for my husband who suffers terribly at this time of year with seasonal allergies. So glad you reminded me of it!

My Neti pot is my best friend in the spring. I've had it for years and would be lost without it.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of hard to get use to using it at first, but after a while it's not so bad.
I just bought one of these but I haven't used it yet. I am going to start using it this weekend. Thanks for sharing about it. I hope it helps me .
ReplyDeleteYes, I was amazed at how well it works. I suffer from allergy headaches, too esp. in the spring. My daughter had been trying to get me to use one. A few months ago I suffered through a 3 day whopper headache and decided I was ready to try a neti pot. The difference is wonderful. I haven't had but 2-3 headaches since and they have been mild. My husband finally said last night that he wants to try one. He has allergy problems worse that I do.
