Neti pots!

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?

Totally DIY. I heat distilled water in a little bowl with salt until the salt dissolves, then go stand over the kitchen sink. Pinch one nostril shut and suck the water up the other nostril until I'm spluttering and spitting it out. Change nostrils and repeat. Utterly disgusting and kind of hilarious, but it works. :D
