Neti Pot Ceramic - 1 pcs. As Seen on Oprah Show , (Himalayan Institute Press)

If you're not a fan of salt-solution nasal sprays like I am, here's another alternative: the Neti Pot, as seen on the Oprah Show. According to Dr. Oz:

"A lot of folks that have allergies, who have sinusitis, that have conditions that we treat with medications are equally well treated by actually washing the areas of your body," he says. "When you think about it ... you wash your underarms. You have bidets. Why wouldn't you wash a pretty important part of your body, your sinuses, in the same fashion?"

How to use this "nose bidet"? Here's a video:

That woman sure made it look so easy. If you're interested to try them, they're available in Amazon, and comes in ceramic or nonbreakable travel versions.

I am a huge sufferer of Allergies and Sinusitis and having had TWO deviated septum surgeries….I highly recommend Nasal Flushing…and Neti Pot. It feels strange at first but once finished you feel a ton better. I guess I do have something in common with Oprah…for once! Ck it out on dailycents.com at http://blogs.dailycents.com/?p=825

My brother just got Neti Pot for Christmas and it has been very helpful!
I just read an article about Neti Pots as well that was intriguing at http://blogs.dailycents.com/?p=825
talking about how to use a Neti Pot that was really intriguing.

Recently my doctor recommended Nasopure, a nasal irrigation system referred to as the modern neti. I have tried both the neti and Nasopure and have found Nasopure far superior. I dont have to bend and twist like the neti and Nasopure seems to give a much more effective flush because it uses self controlled pressure instead of gravity. The angled Nasopure bottle allows for you to stand straight up while using it. Also, the salt packets that come with the product is much cheaper and seems more effective than that of the neti. I use one salt packet for about a week in the shower with Nasopure while the neti uses atleast one packet per use. Their website www.nasopure.com is very informative too and compares different nose washes on the market.

I use a product called Navage. It is a modern day neti pot. They even have pre-mixed nose rinses which are awesome. I love this product!
