NASAL POT RED HOT CERAMICS  E-mail this product to a friend

Running a saline solution through the nasal passages has been recommended by practitioners of Ayurveda and yoga for thousands of years.

Nasal rinsing both stimulates and supports the natural cleansing function of the mucous membranes and easily clears nasal congestion, dust, pollen and other particulate matter from the nose.

GENERAL HEALTH MAINTENANCE:

Rinse 1-2 times a day, upon rising and at least one hour before bedtime (this allows the mucous in your sinuses to drain before bed). You may use more often when needed, up to four times a day when sick. Regular use can help stop the accumulation of mucous and maintain healthy secretions of the ear, nose and throat often relieving sinus pressure.

Instructions.

Fill the neti pot just below its lip with warm water. Add heaping ½ teaspoon of sea salt and stir until it is thoroughly dissolved. Bend over the sink and turn your head to one side. Keeping the pot level, place the spout into the top nostril until it has a snug fit. Breathe through your mouth and slowly tip your head downward allowing the warm water to travel up through your sinuses and out the other nostril. You may need to adjust the angle of your head slightly in order to allow the water to flow out the other nostril. Use half the water and repeat on the other side. If you experience an uncomfortable sensation, adjust the level of salt. Sometimes too little salt can be as uncomfortable as too much salt. Once you've irrigated your sinuses, it is helpful to bend over at the waist (with the top of your head pointed towards the floor) and exhale out to release any trapped water.
