I’ve been meaning to share this article about how moderate use of a neti pot can have positive affects on health while overuse appears to have negative results: Neti Pot Once a Day Can Cause Infections
“I don’t have anything against short-term nasal saline irrigation — even aggressive nasal saline irrigation for three, four days or one week is totally fine,” Nsouli said. “But when we are doing it on a daily basis, we are modifying the immunological biochemistry of the nose.”
Interesting, right? I think it makes sense.
On a fun note, I love this video of the first time Regis Philbin tried using a neti pot:
I really only use a neti pot when I have a cold/nasal issues. What about you?
**Never use tap water in a neti pot – there is a risk for amoebas (deadly ones) to be present in tap water!
This video makes me laugh…I am just like him. Does not come naturally. Haha!
Great Video. Netty pot is awesome but I can totally see why you wouldn’t want to do it on a regular basis. Thanks for article!
I’ve never used it.
They’re funny people.
Regis is great! I’ve still never used a neti pot, but I would think it is only good occasionally when having a cold. It definitely makes sense it wouldn’t be good on a daily basis.
I hope your week is going well!

too funny…my aunt in London requested one of these when we went last year…and I was like “what is this thing?”
