Using A Neti Pot for a Sinus Infection
Does it work?
Using a neti pot can be an effective way to cleanse your nasal passageways. A neti pot uses warm saline solution that can soothe and relieve irritation. But, a neti pot can do nothing to kill the fungus and bacteria that are the cause of the problem.
What is a Neti Pot?
Neti pots can come in various sizes and shapes and in a variety of materials. Neti pots can look similar to Aladdin's lamp, but the experience of using a neti pot can be far from magical. The pot is filled with warm saline and used to pour the solution through your nasal passageways. The saline itself can be very soothing, but using a neti pot requires practice and coordination.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Neti Pots?
People who use neti pots generally love them, as they find the cleansing to be soothing. Using a neti pot is an acquired skill. It is important to insert the spout into your nose correctly so that water doesn't get all over your clothing. Also, if you fail to position your head correctly, you can get water in your ears, or even get pounding headaches.
