Neti Pot...

http://www.sinucleanse.com/why_video.htm

So, I saw this on the news yesterday (well, a different brand but same thing essentially) and decided I must try this! I am ALWAYS having sinus issues, etc...plus it is safe for pregnant women b/c there is NO medicine actually entering your system...it is strictly CLEANING out your nose.

Ok, so it seems a little unorthodox (and gross), but hey, I'm all about trying something if it seems to work! So I have used it two days in a row so far and I like the way it feels after I get done...like instant relief! Now, granted, I go back to be snotty soon after, but I attribute this to still being sick and to still being pregnant (your body produces more blood therefore more sinus flow, blah blah blah)...anyway...I think it really helps...you should all try it! It's easy to use and pretty mess-free...just need a sink & some water! :-)

Happy nose cleaning!

I am really laughing about this. I, too, think it looks gross but wondered about the effects. COOL how many times a day can you use it?? I am curious too.

I think you can use it up to twice daily...but I can't remember for sure...:-)

I heard about cleaning your nose like that on Good Morning America and they even did a demo of it. Plus, Dr. Justesen prescribed Mom some nasal spray to help with her sinus'. It seems to be logical that your nose hairs are your filters and they need to be cleaned daily. Good luck dear. Get better soon!

I was thinking about getting one of these myself...just too chicken...I told Fred we need to move to Florida...I didn't have sinus or skin problems while I was there!

i want to try too... i think it would help. if you've ever seen the size of your sinus cavity... well, let me tell u, you have some large holes in your head!!!

OK who is FRED??? Florida?? Did you live there before? I don't remember that story.

Anyway we all have holes. lol

Maybe we can have a nose cleaning party?? lol

Wouldn't that be a u-tube moment!!

Jim aka FRED...I started calling him Fred while we were dating, cause he wouldn't answer to Jim but would answer to Fred! We took mom and dad to Pensacola for Christmas and my skin problems and allergies went away! It was amazing!
