Neti Pot: A Flu Season Must Have
With pollution on the rise and chemicals in our environment, it’s no wonder that there are sizable increases in the number of people who suffer various forms of sinus congestion and respiratory illness. To combat these issues, alternative health practitioners worldwide swear by the regular practice of nasal cleansing. They recommend using saline solution to do so as a daily regime of wellness.
The practice of nasal cleansing (i.e. Neti) is a safe and efficient method of cleansing the sinuses. It has been used by practitioners of Ayurveda in India for thousands of years. It is quite effective, thus the reason Europe and the U.S. have adopted the routine.
The simplest technique makes use of a Neti Pot in which lukewarm water is used to gently irrigate the nasal passages via a spout that is inserted into one nostril. The position of the head and pot are adjusted to allow the water to flow out of the other nostril. The gentle stream of salt water flows through the nose, washing away mucus, pollens, chemicals, fragrances, dust, bacteria and viruses. It is a powerful technique and works wonders when it comes to allergies, chronic sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infections.
With flu season in full swing, the Neti Pot is a smart buy. I promise you it’s not uncomfortable and is much simpler than it sounds. In fact, after some practice, it’ll become a 3 minute routine that leaves you feeling amazing!
