"Pots, bulbs, other methods might "clean" your nose, sort of - but they're messy, difficult to use, and do not pulsate."
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 26 May 2007 23:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Actually, if the neti pot works for you, I'm all for it. I should buy one and give it a try. I can see the argument in favor of it being gentler but I'm still a believer in pulsatile irrigation. (I don't like the fact that those tips snap off kind of easily on Grossan's own model, but Waterpiks--and I've gone through a bunch--tend to have serious flaws as well.)
― Rockist Scientist, Sunday, 27 May 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Too hardcore for me. But again, the pot is fuckin' awesome. Totally helping.
― forksclovetofu, Sunday, 27 May 2007 01:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Today, after a particularly grueling week of hayfever symptoms, I went and got myself a neti pot, and have just completed my first nasal irrigation. It wasn't difficult or painful, just kind of gross, but I'm breathing really clearly right now, and I think it was probably worth it.

I used 0% urine. Lukewarm water and 1.2 tsp seasalt only.
I'll double the amount of urine tomorrow, and continue to do so until I find the right balance.
― Oilyrags, Monday, 10 September 2007 13:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Okay, that belongs in another thread, on a completely different forum with different posting code. Although who knows? If P'Gell had tried nasal irrigation, maybe she wouldn't have been such a cruel temptress?

My irrigation unit is such a hassle to clean, not to mention various problems with it (like the fact that the on/off switch stopped working not long after I bought it and I have been turning it on by plugging it in, and turning it off by unplugging it--just asking for an electric shock), I've decided to try the neti pot. Just bought a nice ceramic one from the co-op I go to. This was my latest irrigation unit model:

Pretty much the cadillac of nasal irrigation units, and still not very well made.

My wife (bless her) gave me a neti pot for my birthday a couple of years ago. It isn't a miracle tool, but it is a useful tool and I've been giving it a solid workout the past two weeks or more - trying to dislodage a sinus infection. It's gone now. I'm down to once a day for maintenance.

tmi question: is it like those stories I heard about colonics where all kinds of weird stuff comes out your nose?
― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 25 March 2011 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link
those sound like some fucked up colonics
― absolutely clean glasses, Friday, 25 March 2011 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I think we talked about it in a Nutrition Nazi thread...there are some WHOA stories
― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 25 March 2011 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link
but it could also be because of the product being used for the colonic that causes all the weird stuff afterwards so there's that too
anyway, back to Neti pots.

i guess you don't really ingest if its by nose tho right?

fuckin love neti pottin! i started doing it in the shower, mostly for the convenience of hot water etc also i do everything i can in the shower, i like to think the combo of sinus irrigation + deep breathing the steam = my current respiratory health.
all my adult life i have gotten ear infections about once a year, usually in oct or nov, but not since the neti!
