This cold/flu season I've generally managed to stay healthy. Some have wondered how. Well the secret is about to be revealed.
Behold, the Neti Pot. It has to be the most wonderful creation in preventative medicine.
How it works: It's pretty gross actually. Neilmed has a whole kit available. They have pre-made packets of salt and baking soda. In case you didn't know, salt has natural healing properties when it comes to your lungs and breathing. At any rate, you mix a packet of the salt with some water, filling the pot. Then, you tilt your head to one side and pour the water in one nostril until it comes out the other. Usually, I let it go a couple of seconds, stop, and then snot the rest of it out (I told you it would be gross!).
My take on the product:
Pros: Absolutely works. Not only does it work when you have a cold or feel you are going to have a cold coming on (it gets all of the germs out of your nose/sinuses), but it works great for allergies and preventing colds all together. It's 100% natural, so no hit on your immune system, and you breathe SO much better afterward. You can definitely tell when you haven't used it in a little while.
Cons: Well, it's gross. However, considering its effectiveness it doesn't even matter. The point is it works, and it works great.
So, first impression? AMAZING.
