Lupe asked:


Hi, names Lupe. I was wondering how to make a homemade Neti pot. See I had gotten one when I was in Los Angeles a few years back, and it worked wonders on my nose. Recently my lil’ brother broke it by accident, and since I live in a backwoods part of the U.S., it is very hard to come by. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for a homemade version. So far my ideas are using a sports bottle(idea 1), a oil funnel with hose(idea 2), or a turkey baser(idea 3) for a quick fix until I head back to the city. Any other viable options?

I used the neti pot for the first time today and it worked great the first time. However, after an hour, my nose started running again and got really stuffy so about 3 hours later, I attempted to use it again but this time the water didn’t drain out. I would tilt my head and I can feel the water go in but it’s not coming out of the other nose. What should I do?

I heard about the Neti Pot on Oprah and Dr. Oz was the guest and he said it was the best. But after I checked it online some say the NeilMed Bottle is much better but I am not sure if you can use it over and over again.

One more neti pot question: I have high blood pressure and the saltwater in the neti pot concerns me. Since I’m not actually swallowing most of the water, should I be concerned?

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>)

Every time I use my neti pot for my sinuses, it seems to clogged up my ears temporarily. It does seem to open up my sinuses more and it definetely gets that bad smell out of my nose. How bad is it to always get H20 in my eustachian tubes? Should I just stop using it?

valerino539 asked:


I never had this happen all the other times I’ve used my neti pot, but after the last time it’s been awful. First my head just felt clogged up (like water was in it) then my right ear started hurting on and off. Then today I woke up w/a terrible sore throat and stayed home sick from work because the feeling in my head is just awful… Has anyone else had this happen??

Lori K asked:


stinging sensation? I’m getting a very strong stinging sensation when I use my neti pot, even though I am using very little salt. I’ve read that you can add baking soda to help this problem, but I can’t seem to find out how much to add. Any experienced neti users? A little help?

My neti pot is not helping me–what is wrong?

whit asked:


I have been using my neti pot for about a month now and I haven’t had any relief. I am using the right temperature and salt quantity so I don’t think that is the problem. I use my neti pot in the morning and at night and sometimes in the afternoon. I have had allergies and sinus problems for as long as I can remember (I am 21).

Should I give up on the neti? What else can I try? I do not want to take pills and nasal sprays have not helped me.

Thanks.
