Nasal Hygiene is the Key
I just wanted to push this out there since I enjoyed making it so much.
A number of years ago (probably pushing 5 at this point), my then fiancé and I came across a video for an astonishing product, the Neti Pot. As most people came across it, I’m sure, we saw the video on You Tube and immediately thought it was a joke. I mean, the ad’s actually kind of creepy. But, time goes on, and little did we know that a young friend of my brother in law, Jeff, would change how we felt about it.
Jeff comes from something of a more natural household (shops at Whole Foods, believes in using some combination of homeopathic and more modern medical tools for curing illness, etc.) and apparently one day had a bit of a stuffy nose. ‘Well,’ said his mom, ‘I suppose we should use the Neti Pot.’ Jeff had never used said pot before but figured he’d give it a go. As he reported to us later, it actually really kind of helped and felt good afterword. So we found out that the Neti Pot is actually real and apparently works, but one more event would be needed before the Nasal Cleansing Pot would come into our lives.
Just this past Friday, on our weekly visit to Whole Foods, I came across a product I had not heard of previously: The Nasal Cleansing Pot. The Nasal Cleansing Pot is not quite as pretty as the original Neti Pot, but at the same time it comes in at a slightly lower price tag of 14 bucks. That’s what ended up selling me on it. I had been intrigued by the pot ever since Jeff’s report but not enough to purchase the original highfalutin Neti Pot. But hey, 15 dollars? Come on, who wouldn’t?
Anyway, I felt that this historic moment must be caught on tape, and that’s exactly what we did. What follows is ~9 minutes of wonky fun:

And finally, the video that started it all:
On an interesting sidenote, since using the Nasal Cleansing Pot, I have gotten sick for the first time in months. Granted, it’s finally starting to get cold in south eastern PA, but I wonder…
Nasopure has grown in popularity due to its unique positive pressure system and 2:1 salt mixture that surpasses all competitor’s salt. It cost a little more in the initial purchase but last longer in usage. It is easy to use, so easy a 2 year old can do it. Dr. Hana’s Nasopure is absolutely amazing and will make it easier to breathe in any allergy or cold and flu season.

You need to tilt your head more to the side so that the water will pass more easily. if there was any burning you probably did not use enough salt. i have used a nasal rinse daily for years and once you get the hang of the technique it is a great addition to a natural wellness routine. thank you for the video
Thanks a bunch, Mark! Your suggestions really helped. I haven’t done it daily yet, but I’m definitely considering. It really is amazing how much it helps.
