The neti pot works!!

Last week, I mentioned how I was feeling miserable because of my allergies. Since I am pregnant, I cannot take the allergy medicine that I normally take during this time of the year. I have been hearing a lot about the Neti Pot and how a lot of people swear by it. It is basically a nasal rinse and is good for sinuses and allergies. It is all natural and does not involve any chemicals.  I decided to try it out and see if indeed works. I got nothing to lose but everything to gain. I bought the starter kit from Amazon.com. The kit contains a ceramic neti pot which looks like a small genie lamp, salt jar and peppermint/eucalyptus oil.

The process involved in washing the nasal passages seems complicated. The process also sounds and looks gross especially to anybody who has not tried it. I made sure I followed the step by step instructions in the starter kit . I tried it for the first time a couple of days ago and was pleasantly surprised on how easily it worked for me! I did not have any problems with the rinsing process and felt instant relief from my stuffy nose! Wow! I am a believer!!! I now make sure I do the rinse two times a day, before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning. Daddy Jarbs wanted to watch me do my rinse but I don't let him. I know he will just laugh at me. It will mess me up and I'd end up snorting the saline solution!!

You can watch the video and read the instructions here on how to use the neti pot. I know it looks gross but trust me, it works!! :-). Instant, drug-free allergy relief. Two thumbs up for the neti pot!!!
