Neti Pot, Has anyone tried it? Options

[lojay]

Has anyone ever tried using a Neti Pot before to clear sinus or anything? I read an article on it today [click to read] and it seemed really interesting.

The practice gained wide exposure last spring when it was introduced on Oprah Winfrey’s show by a frequent guest, Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon and an author of health books. Dr. Oz explained that bathing the sinus cavities in a warm saline solution can reduce symptoms of allergies, cold, flu and other nasal problems.

I have a really bad stuffy/draining nose that has lasted all day and I want it gone!!! So I tried to go to the drug store today to pick up a neti pot but they were sold out and they had like premade packets of solution for sale so I picked those up and just mixed it with water and tried using a plastic cup at work... it kind of worked? But didn't last that long.


If you have tried it, how many times to you have to keep up with it? And I read that it becomes part of your daily routine, does that mean that as soon as you stop you become congested again?

I haven't tried that stuff.
