I tried Neti potting once... I could only compare it to what waterboarding must be like !

Hi @conniegh, the nasal rinse is an odd sensation at first, but using the Neti post has really helped me. I used to have chronic sinusitis that regularly flared up. I would get very sick every fall and every spring like clockwork almost. Now when I feel the slightest congestion coming on, I dig out the Neti pot and prevent infection from setting in.

It's important to use distilled, sterile or previously boiled water mixed with salt and baking soda that have no iodine or additives or else it will sting. Too much salt and baking soda isn't good either. Did you use distilled water and salt and baking soda with additives? May I ask what led you to try the Neti pot?
