Before you say, "No, thanks!" let me tell you that nasal washes do not sting or hurt, are not uncomfortable, are quick and easy to do, and make your sinuses happy. I have chronic sinusitis and when I have an allergy attack or a cold a sinus wash clears out my sinuses without any over the counter medications. If I'm otherwise healthy, sinus washes help me breathe easier.

It can make your eyes water a little (the nose and tear ducts are interconnected), so if you wear cosmetics, do it before you put on your eye make-up.

A sinus wash with your Neti Pot
• soothes dry nasal passages
• gently washes away pollen and other allergens
• cleans out soot, dust, smoke, or other irritants
• removes excess mucus naturally
• improves the flow of breath before exercise, relaxation, or meditation
• protects one of your body's first lines of defense against disease--the nasal passages

This Neti Pot is made of break resistant plastic with a small, free sample inside of Neti Wash Plus and Neti Pot Salt. Fill with warm water and a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of pure, non-iodinized salt and stir until dissolved. To summarize what happens next, you tilt your head forward and to the side, put the tip into one nostril, tilt the pot, and let it drain through the other nostril, repeat for other side, and voila, your nose is clean as a whistle.

No, the saline solution does not sting your nose. The small amount of salt is not enough to irriate your nasal linings. If it does sting, you've put in too much salt. Stop immediately, discard saline solution, and make a new one.
