Lala O asked: I’m getting my b.f. a neti pot for Christmas since he has really bad allergies and sinuses. Usually when I give a gift, I like to give a little back ground history of it besides the usual basic facts (It relieves a stuffy nose)
So does anyone know why its helpful, how it works, and the history behind it>)

I have really bad allergies and I got dizzy too all the time from them. Sometimes hard to concentrate. I also get a ton of sinus pressure around my face and jaw.
Anything else that
I use it to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me — my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy. or just use a neti pot, I like this better.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
I’ve never used one but I have used a similar method - a little infant’s nasal syringe (or ear syringe) filled with mild, slightly warm salt water. I just tilt my head back and squirt it up each nostril, cough it back, then spit it out. It’s much cheaper than a Neti pot, too. I think Neti pots are best for people with really extreme sinus conditions.
The salt is supposed to stimulate drainage and also kill a few germs. Stuffy sinuses get more bacteria in them. Anyway, it was helpful to me. That’s all I know.
I helped my sinuses even more by reducing dairy products and fruit juice, especially milk and orange juice. They stuffed up my sinuses horribly and gave me ear infections. No doctor ever suggested I had food allergies so I had to find out the hard way - by process of elimination.
Note: I would be careful about using colloidal silver. I’ve used it before too, and it’s very soothing as well as germicidal, but it can cause argyria, a condition where your skin turns permanently blue. Not harmful, but very unsightly!
I’m surprised you haven’t gotten a more specific response about the usage or history. You can find out more about the history at
Similar devices have literally been used for centuries in the Ayurveda tradition. With current science, we can see how it helps to cleanse out irritants and allergens, plus with the small amounts of salt in the saline solution, it can help to moisturize the nasal cavity to help prevent it from getting inflamed.
I hope he likes the Neti Pot… oh, and you should be aware that it can take a few tries to use it right. Just breathe through your mouth and loosen up the back of the nasal area… it takes time to get used to the odd sensation, but it works VERY well when it’s used daily. Good luck to you both!
