Neti Pots
How great are neti pots? How often is it safe to use them? I want to use it all the time. It's like an orgasm inside my nose.

Read this post here (responding to a post about seasonal allergies): http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showpos...77&postcount=5 And, yeah, he likes the photos. (I can't get over the fact that a neti pot has a narrow spout, so I use Simply Saline brand saline nasal spray myself. Works the same way.) |

I knew Dr. Steve was the coolest! |
What Bazile said. :-) Thanks for keeping an eye on the forum while I was away!

Is it safe to use it every day Doc?
Is there any danger in using it too much? I have to know! |
I get sinus infections every so often. But my nose isn't stuffed, it runs. Can I use it for that?

there's some risk of aspirating salt water with these things (getting the fluid into your lungs because you're uncoordinated) but even then inhaling a little salt solution is easily dealt with by the body (since mucus is just thickened salt-water in the end anyway). there are people who use these things every day; just make sure the salt solution you use is properly made (or a commercial variety)...if it's the right concentration there's very little downside to using it every day. your pal, steve I collect awful neti pot photos...here's a new one: http://www.lolotov.com/wp-content/up.../neti-pot3.jpg though this one will always remain my favorite, for some reason: http://www.christinas-home-remedies....irrigation.gif |
Thanks Doc!
The chicks in your pics are hideous, the one in my avatar is adorable. I'm going to marry her and we'll neti each other every night. |

What is this phenomenon?
Where you flushed your sinuses two days ago for the first time and now it feels like there's a tennis ball lodged between your eyes from all the congestion? |

Use it in good health brother. |
Dear Doc. Steve .com,
Is it OK if my Mom says that my Uncle Tommy uses the Neti Pot to much? She says that Uncle Tommy is to "Touchy Feely" I think that I just can't talk about it to much. That's all. Is it OK to touch myself while using the Neti Poty? Signed, Rube |

ok, instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd put the paddles to a previously started re. neti pots
I have shitty nasal allergies triggered by the usual suspects i.e. dust, mold and my favorite the girlfriends evil cat. Broke down this evening and picked one up. While yes my nose briefly felt better and less contested I seemed to be dripping water from my right nostril for 10 minutes afterwards. Is this normal? |
What was that herb mentioned on Weird Medicine?
