So, you are wondering what this post could be about. Is it a joke? I assure you it is not. I want to talk to you about my favorite form of douche.
The neti pot.
The nasal douche or neti pot as it is known has been used for thousands of years as a natural way to clean the sinuses. It has been known as an effective way to ease the pain and swelling associated with hay fever, allergies, and sinus infection. A neti pot can be made out of just about any substance, and have been made out of ceramic, glass, metal, and plastic.
A sinus wash is very simple to use, and is basically letting gravity flush a saline solution in one nostril and out the other. When I first started using saline to flush my sinuses, I used a mild solution at room temperature. Gradually, I used a stronger solution with warmer water, and the results have been wonderful.
I started out using the Sinucleanse brand of solution packets, and a plastic neti pot that came with the starter kit, but switched to an effervescent solution packet that I get from my local drug store, and a large antique ceramic neti pot. I make it a part of my daily schedule, and it has helped me with my life long struggle with chronic nasal problems. I even cut out one of my allergy medicines all together.
Check it out. Try it. You won't be sorry.
