Ok, so some of us have had a talking in the past about netti pots and sinus rinses.
And I finally got onboard and tried one and have the mixture for make it yourself receipe as well.
The receipe is as follows:
1/3 t. salt
8 oz. of warm, not hot water. Boiled and cooled or use distilled.
and a pinch of baking soda.
**********************************************
Now I bought a bottle rinse, it is a bottle not a pot. I can use more pressure using the bottle. Mine is the brand name AYR, but I don't think it matters about the brand. It came with 100 premixed packets with it and the refills are available without the bottle.
I got mine at CVS, again don't think it matters where you get it or the brand.
Let me tell you, I have not had this much relief since I was a child. I tried to use it in the shower, because I am cleaning out old stuff at this point in my head. When you stand upright it drips, LOL, gross I know, but yeah....
My head is clear, my cheek bones do not hurt anymore, and I can breath.
If I had a cold or the flu I would do it more than once a day and maybe the water warmer, than normal. Honestly, I'm not scare now to have a cold, not like I use to. I think this thing is great.
It does leave a taste in your mouth but that goes away quickly.
I'm not selling a brand or a method, just telling everyone what has worked wonders for me.
With the amount of rain and the house closed up this past week with the Hurricane Ike, I should have been in real pain with my sinuses, it just never happened.
YEAH.
