Medical tool of wonder? or Medieval torture device? |
|
Quoted: It just fucking works. Though I use the squeeze bottle instead of the pot. ETA if you need a power flush, like I did after my sinus surgery, a waterpik is a wonderful tool also. That statement is like your all mighty shield. No one and I mean NO ONE can take away your man card after a statement like that. You can say, I love making blueberry sandwiches in a ballerina outfit all while singing every song on the first Village People album out in a beautiful meadow. "WHAT? GIVE ME YOUR MAN-CA.... Wait... You're the guy that flushed out his sinuses with a waterpik? AH CRAP! You are GTG! ... Nevermind!" |

I use a squeeze bottle version. Was recommended to me by my doctor, though I already was using one. Bottled water, so no amoebas. yes and if you have screwed up sinus....its a wonderful thing This. I just did it 2 mins ago, I'm 2 weeks after my nasal surgery. It's hardly torture; instead it's very soothing and comfortable. I always do a flush just before Scuba diving, otherwise I have ear-clearing problems. |
| 3 weeks ago I would have said it is ridiculous. I had a nasty head cold/sinus disaster and broke down and tried it. Awesome! It's not very comfortable for me, but makes a huge difference afterwards. Also helps keep my sinuses from getting all dry with the heat on in the house. Give it a try. |

This...
http://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinugator.php Just make sure you use boiled tap water or sterilized bottled water, add some Xylitol to the solution, and hey! Presto! Your very own home waterboarding kit... Works wonders for me. I'm just a little annoyed with the way my sinuses drain at random later in the day, after I've done the deed. The Xylitol works wonders, too. Just try it. |

It's seriously the best thing to ever happen to my allergies.
For my first 28 years, I spent about 4 months of each year in allergy hell (spring and fall). This neti pot is the BEST thing I have found for quick relief. Meds like Claritin are worth a shit if I take them before I have any symptons.. so I use the neti pot to clear it all out, then take the meds. Works better than I could have ever hoped for. I use tap water too
A few weeks ago I was sure I had a sinus infection flaring up. Saw people saying to use the neti pot and add a few drops of apple cider vinegar to it. I was skeptical, but went for it. Absolute magic. |

This is the way I deal with my closet issues. OK? and its working because I love me. I love who I am OK? |

TAG, because I've had sinus problems for as long as I can remember (29yo now). People keep telling me to try one of these things. Just go get one. Follow the directions and you will be amazed. I get horrible alergies here in Texas. Sometimes my sinus's get so bad I have migraines. The first time I used the netipot it was instant cure and pain free. I wish I had discovered it sooner. |

Changed my life ...
First used it Dec 11, 2010. Went outside and was amazed how well I could breath. Couldn't believe how cold the air felt. Since then no allergy problem and not a single sinus head. Maybe two or three headaches at all since then. Actually can't remember the last time i had one. I mix my own, 1 gallon distilled water with 3 teaspoons of kosher/canning salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. As long as the water is warm you can barely feel it at all. |

Also made me use a hypertonic solution, which basically equates to double the salt in solution. Since I'm done with the sinus surgery, I now can just use normal saline, but I still break out the waterpik if I get a bad flare up. |
