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.

It came as a surprise; I had not heard it in years. I continue to use it regularly.
