Does the Neti Pot work?
Oh, yes, it most certainly does, but you have to be clear on what you mean by 'work'. If you expect that using a neti pot will cure a sinus infection without any other treatment, you will be disappointed. If you expect it to cure serious allergies, you will be disappointed. But using a neti pot properly does give you a refreshing cleansing of the sinuses, and considerable relief of stuffiness. It is a gentle procedure (be sure to use the saline mix that is recommended with the neti pot you get, or your experience will be very unpleasant) and it helps you NOT to become overly dependent on antihistamines for relief. Use of a neti pot can greatly help with occasional stuffiness that comes from ordinary particles in the air, and can provide wonderful relief from sinus discomfort that comes from excessive dryness. You may not even realize that your discomfort is resulting from dryness until you try the neti pot.Using a neti pot is not restricted to times when you feel illness or discomfort. Regular use can really be beneficial. I started a few years ago, and after a few weeks, I realized that I could hear and feel air passing through both of my Eustachian tubes-- that feeling of air coming out of your ears when you gently blow your nose. It came as a surprise; I had not heard it in years. I continue to use it regularly.

What will help severe sinus congestion when steam and medications have not helped?
A Neti Pot (available at drugstores and health food stores) works very well for sinus congestion and allergies. It is a small ceramic container, shaped a bit like an Aladin's lamp, that you use for flushing out the nasal passages. You use a saline (salt and water solution), and it helps flush the congestion and any possible allergens (if you have allergies) away. Or you can use a saline spray, available at any drugstore. It's not quite as effective as the Neti Pot, but it does help, and unlike the Neti Pot, it can be taken with you and used anywhere. Both of these can be used as often as necessary, since they are not medications, and you don't have the worry of overdosing on them. The Neti Pot is about $15, and a bottle of nasal spray is about $1.
