Neti pots!

[rydra_wong]

Since it's the time of year (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) when everyone has colds and flu and clogged sinuses, let's talk about neti pots.

Who's got one, who's using one, who recently improvised one out of a squeezy travel-size shampoo bottle and feels much better for it? *g*

Advice, tips, experiences?

I've done the travel size squeeze bottle, but usually I put my water in a custard cup and snuffle it instead of pouring it. A zillion years ago, when dinos roamed the earth, Shirley Mclaine talked about snuffling salt water from a tea cup in the shower every morning, so I decided to give it a go. Neti pot is probably easier, but they kinda creep me out and I'm used to the snuffling.

And yeah, yikes, amoeba. I always use filtered water, but now I'm switching to boiled, filtered water. 0_0
