Fight Colds Flu and Allergies without DrugsIn the same way that massage nourishes and rejuvenates the skin, Neti and Nasya nourish and rejuvenate the breathing passages. This process can reduce seasonal allergies, chronic sinusitis, and sore throat, reduce cold symptoms, and decrease your chances of contracting upper respiratory infections. It helps keep your breathing passages moist before and after air travel or after being indoors with the heat on. |
| What supplies do I need?  The first thing you need is the neti pot itself - shaped like an Aladdin's lamp, there are many types to chose from: ceramic is best for every day - plastic is okay for traveling.High quality mineral salt is an important ingredient. Be sure to avoid white salt, as it's about as beneficial as white sugar: bleaching and processing removes all the trace elements that make the salt effective. Third, and sometimes overlooked, is a good, organic oil to lubricate the nasal passages. Sesame is best for fall and winter, and, quite frankly, can be used all year as it contains a natural agent that prevents it from going rancid. |
How to use the Neti Pot
This is as easy as brushing your teeth once you get the hang of it. It should become part of your normal daily routine in order to gain the most benefit: in other words, don't' use the neti just when "you need it", like when you are already symptomatic. It's best to neti at least once per day, and preferably twice if you're susceptible to colds or suffering allergies..
