Have you tried a neti pot?

Neti pots have been recommended by all of the EENT doctors I have seen.  I have tried them, and they do work.  It is a little awkward at first, but it only takes a try or two.  You can pick them up at places like Walgreens, with the packets of mix.  They are much easier than trying to mix your own solution.  Give it a try!

I've only seen pictures of Neti pots but never tried them.  They look like they'd be a bit cumbersome and messy.

I don't have a Neti pot but what I've done is use one of those blue bulb thingies (used to suck out a baby's nose) to suck up some saline solution.  Then I gently squeeze it into my nose to rinse out my sinuses.  I do about half a cup each nostril.

My wife made me give it a try and I'm so glad that she did.  I used to have a stuffy nose all the time.  I started using the Neti-pot and I rarely have it anymore.  It's awesome.  At first I was a bit scared.  I know a man scared?  But you are pouring water into your nose.

It's easy to use and it works!

Since my allergies are so severe, I've been on allergy medications since I was a child.  I absolutely hate nasal sprays so only use these if necessary but none of the pills really work for me anymore.  I was told to try a neti pot but it seems to me that it would be even worse than using a nasal spray.  I'm not sure I could get used to it.  Anyone use one of these?  Is it truly effective?
