The Neti Pot is a sinus irrigation tool used to completely cleanse and clear your sinuses. In general, a saline solution is mixed and poured into the pot. You stick the slender spout of the pot into one nostril and tip your head sideways. After that, gravity takes hold as the water runs smoothly into your nose, then up into your nasal cavity, and finally out of your other nostril, taking with it allergens, bacteria, and mucus build ups.
