Winter Neti: or My Favorite Product of 2010
A while back I told you about my neti pot. Since then, I have continued to use it whenever I have allergy symptoms, feel like I'm getting a cold or sore throat, or even (in the case of home repairs) to simply clear my system of dust. Since I'm one of those lucky allergy sufferers who is allergic to dust mites (as well as many of the seasonal airborne allergens), I have the potential of having allergies year round. And I have noticed lately that I am using my neti pot in the winter as often, if not more often, than I did in the summer. It has been a lifesaver in stopping my early sore throats (which, for me, is often my first allergy symptom), postnasal drip, sinus pressure and headaches, and just improving my general sinus (and probably overall) health. So, again, if you suffer from any of these symptoms and are ready to feel better using a healthier, drug-free method, I seriously recommend the neti pot! Mine has been my favorite new product of the year, hands down.

I like my Neti Pot too!
Good to know! Maybe I should get one for my hubby, who has mild allergies.
How do these work? Rob had BAD allergies and although he does use a natural remedy, it is always nice to have another option.
You can look it up online for videos on how you to use one, but all it is is sinus irrigation. You regulate your breathing and pour the water in one nostril so it comes out the other. It's a little weird at first but I got used to it quickly and have been sold ever since.
By the way, Emily, what natural remedy does Rob use?
It's a product called "Pancran Extra" made by Dews 21st Century products. I guess allergies are caused by your body not being able to break down proteins. They extract cranberries and something else, and it helps break down the proteins. Plus, you get the extra benefits of the cranberries (and they don't taste bad, and don't have any other nasty side effects). He takes them all year long and three in the summer when He is spraying for bugs. Check out their website. They have a lot of great natural products.
Cool! I'll have to look into that.
