Welcome to my article about the Neti Pot Solution. If you regularly suffer from sinusitis like I do, you will understand the importance of finding practical and inexpensive sinus infection remedies that will keep you going throughout your long workday.

After all, there is nothing worse than waking up on Monday morning with the knowledge that you have to face the day with a violent sinus headache, a persistent cough, and a nose so stuffed that not even a full tissue box will keep you going until midday. Believe me, I know. I've been there.

Neti Pot Instructions

Step-by-step instructions on how to use the Neti Pot

1. To start, pour one cup of warm water into the Neti Pot. Make sure that the water is neither hot nor cold as the extreme temperatures will damage your nasal passageways.

2. If your Neti Pot comes with a small packet of salt, pour the continents into the warm water and mix. If it does not come with a packet, simply add 1/4 teaspoon of non-ionized table salt to the water. Avoid sea salt as it can leave a burning sensation inside your nostrils, and be sure to use filtered or bottled water rather than tap water.

3. Stand over a sink of basin with the Neti Pot in hand, and tilt your head to one side. Place the spout of the Neti Pot over the upper nostril and allow the salt water to trickle inside. If done correctly, the solution should drain out of the other nostril, taking any residual mucus along with it.

4. Repeat the process with the other nostril. After a few minutes, your nasal passages should be clear of mucus.

5. After you have finished, softly blow your nose into a tissue. Doing so will remove any excess mucus or solution from the deep cavities of your nose.

6. Be sure to wash out your Neti Pot with hot water and detergent. You never know what bacteria might be lurking around inside!
