I don’t think that everyone needs to have their own as they can be easily disinfected with peroxide but it is recommended.

does every person need their own Neti or can a family share? or is it a germy sort of thing that is bad to share?

I was recently saved from a sinus infection because of a nasal wash. It’s a squeeze bottle which works like a neti pot, but with a little more force. I was so stuffed up from a cold and I always get a sinus infection when I’m like that. I’ve had a neti pot for a while, but could never get any flow during a cold. I had to use the nasal wash a couple times each day to get it to go through, but once it did I felt 100 times better! I recommend getting both the neti and nasal wash bottle.

Fascinating – I’d never heard of this before. Just retweeted it.

Great post, thank you.
I bought an electric neti machine last year & I could not live without it now. The water is very gently forced up each nostril individually, as a chronic allergy sufferer it provides incredible relief. I really hope this practice gains in popularity so more & more people can experience the benefits of it.

I’ve been using my Neti pot for a few years since I saw it on Dr. Oz ~ It’s great! Sometimes the water feels like it goes through my sinuses and it usually squirts out my eyes. Am I doing something wrong?

I have a deviated septum. Are there any differences I should observe when using the neti pot?

Question – the article says “When you’ve emptied the pot, exhale through both nostrils into the sink or a tissue. (Do not close off one nostril while blowing, because this could force the water back into the ear.)” Is this just for netti pot usage? I always close one nostril when I blow my nose. Is that bad?
