Neti Pot

The Neti Pot has been used for thousands of years as a practical and therapeutic nasal irrigation device. These Neti Pots are ceramic and certified lead-free. Instructions are included. Available in a variety of colours.

How to use: Fill the nasal pot just below its lip with warm water. Add ½ a teaspoon of sea salt and stir until it is thoroughly dissolved. Bend over the sink an turn your head to one side. Keeping the pot level, place the spout into the top nostril until it has a snug fit. Breathe through your mouth and slowly tip your head downward allowing the warm water to travel through your sinuses and out the other nostril. Use half the water and repeat on the other side. If you experience an uncomfortable sensation, adjust the temperature of the water or level of salt. Baking soda may be used if the salt irritates your sinuses. If you are particularly congested, the water may not actually flow through and out the other nostril. If this occurs, take in as much water as you can and blow your nose. Repeat again in 30 minutes. Blow gently, your membranes are sensitive!! Please consult your health care practitioner regarding your condition for additional guidance or information.
