Neti Pot

Hand-fired Ceramic Neti Pot

Using a neti pot:

• Relieves pain, pressure and congestion by liquefying the excess mucous in your nasal passages and flushing it out.
• Keeps the cilia (basically, tiny hairs) in your nasal passages moving so they flush out bacteria, allergens and other irritants. Congested or dry sinuses are a breeding ground for infection.

Sinus problems are caused by “a breakdown in the normal function and protective role of the nasal cavity,” explains University of Wisconsin Medical School Professor David Rabago M.D.

“The lining of the nasal cavity protects the upper respiratory system against infection by viruses and bacteria,” he says. “When the mucosa is inadequate to the task, sinus symptoms can result.” Research by Dr. Rabago suggests that nasal rinsing helps the nasal mucosa do its job.

Using a neti pot can help restore your sinuses to health.
