Years ago I used to get very nasty sinus infections several times a year. I kept reading about Neit Pots so I thought I would try one. Wow, what a difference, instead of being on antibiotics several times a year, I haven't been on one since for a sinus infection. This has been for 15 or more years! Now it is a part of my daily hygene just like brushing my teeth. You know the feeling you have if you leave the house without brushing? That's the same way I am with this. It gets packed on trips and I keep one in our travel trailer. One note, make sure the water you use is clean and has been heated. Especially in the southern states where the amoeba called Naegleria fowleri can cause brain infections. It is found in dirty water and some tap water in the south. Very rare and apparently not found in the north (it likes warm water). Best to use distilled water (warm it in the microwave) or boiled tap water. Of course you can get this bateria swimming etc. Also, like anything else, keep the neti pot clean. All this sounds like a great hassle, but these are minor items that don't take much time. The relief you get will likely be well worth the effort. Although I have used plastic verisons in the past, I like the Ceramic verision the best. I feel like it is easier to keep clean etc. Just don't drop it in the sink! I have lost a couple over the years that way. It is easy to hook your finger over the handle so this won't happen. I make my own saline mix; 1 part baking soda and one part non-iodine table salt. You can play with the mix if need be, you shouldn't feel any discomfort. As a matter of fact, I think it feels good.
